Pictures that inspire you and your MX5!

Hello fellow hairdressers!

This is one of my first posts, and I thought I'd make it an interesting one, my name's Kasey and I'm now the proud owner of a Silverstone NA 1.6 [I'm MadKiwi's nephew, thanks for the car Mark!].

Weeks before I even owned the car I had a lot of plans and inspiration of what I wanted to do with it, everything from the "yo get 16's and slam dat bitch!" [a phase I got out of pretty quickly] to the stripped out "I CAN PULL 3G'S AROUND HAIRPINS" trackcars.

So I thought I'd start a thread for us to post photos of cars [they don't have to be mx5's] that used to inspire us and/or still do get you motivated to tinker with your little toy car that is the mx5.

Any kind of style is welcome! Not everyone has the same taste :p. I'll get this started:

And of course

I just love the clean look this guy has gone for, such an awesome color with those black wheels

I have just bought a set of those wheels on the red MX5 at the bottom of first post.
$300 for them with a set of near new semi slicks. chur!

Uncie Mark.

Yeah I subscribed to Charlie's build thread ages ago, love what he does with that thing. He must have so much cash behind him with the amount he spends on that thing!

I'm still a fan of the NA. Just need to make the headlights a bit sleeker

I just don't like the fact that they look like a boat
Stand next to one and look at the bonnet it looks like the deck of a boat

Some NC's can look great

Those are some sexy wheels. Hope my ones look that good when they finally arrive. Black wheels + black hardtop = sexy?

Hopefully lotto pays off finally which would allow me to really tidy the car up. One day... One day...
