FYI, you have Autolink (wimbledon chase) and the Japanese breakers yard (weir road) the other way up the A3 in wimbledon.
little bit further to go but handy,The guys in the breakers are pretty helpful and have quite a big yard :wink:

SO I was wondering do MKII headlights fit the 5? Thought it might look quite good with some crosshairs. Turns out someone else has asked the question on MXnutz and this picture surfaced:



Might have to be done!

Not really, I think I have a pair of the cross hair lights in the shed from one of my old MKII's. THe only mods I'm looking at for the MX5 are a front lip and maybe some -35mm springs. Other than that it's awesome. THings that wear out will be replaced with upgraded items though. If bushes need changing it'll get poly bushed, if the manifold starts leaking it'll get a stainless 4 branch etc etc. THe only other thing I might get is a hardtop with a heated rear window for the coldest parts of winter but they're pricey at £300 for a tatty one or more than I paid for the car for a new one!

This is how it starts. :grin:

It does sound like you've got a good plan for it.

I've got a set of winter tyres from my mk1 which I sold last month. The bloke who bought the car didnt want them. I got the tyres in December and had them on til march/April. Have the receipt. They were very useful with the rwd. In my garage waiting to go on eBay in a few months. Let me know if you're interested.

Prestivo. And I think 185/65 14 but I'd have to double check tomorrow if you want.
