so here it is a few weeks ago with my new car behind, dont laugh at the fitment on the mx5;)
and my friend had theses wheels and tires left over from his mx5 now he has much bigger wheels so i put these on today.
there wheels of a suzuki swift powder coated orenge.
Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you.
my other wheels are getting painted white slowly (the 5 spoke ones)
so this is where its at the moment. a few other little things i bolted on the timber roof racks finely but took the wrong measurement in to the bolt shop so the bolt are mega long. but it looks good i think, also fitted the bucket seat that came in my mx5 as i cant have it in the mx5 till it is road worthy, i also fitted a pod filter and this week end i am going to remove the charcoal canister.

Thanks guys those wheels are nice enough but next week I should have my other wheels fitted with tires, there the 5spoke ones that I posted a while ago there now white, and I can have proper tires again which will be a nice change, I did not do enough prep work before painting so there a bit rough, but they will do, there 14 by 7 with I'm not sure what offset but with spacers I'm sure they will fit, also today I did a bit of engine bay tidy up wish I had a before and after shot, but I forgot to, anyway my car came with an alarm that did not work so I removed all of that and it had been installed pretty dodgy, also removed air con as it dose not work got rid of most of the lines and the compressor etc also the heat shield of the headers tucked a few cables, still lots more that can be done. But it's a start. I'll get a shot up soon. Only thing that's a real problem at the moment is I have no speedo and no fuel Gauge and no odometer
