i would be tempted to lower it by 50mm.

Lower? The wheels are nicely aligned in the arches as is. Dont be a heretic.

I agree tbh, a little lowering would improve the aesthetics, should you be so inclined sir :-)

50mm is way too much, but tbh Im toying with the idea of dropping it an inch with some nopro dumpers;

Most aftermarket damper/spring sets get mixed reviews and drop 30mm which is too much for the roads around here.

The back does drop when youre sat in it, its designed to be like that.

Like the alloys, you got it with those didnt you?

Im still undecided on whether these cars really need a rear spoiler, the aesthetics are grand as is. Im not cleaning mine for a while yet, Im worried ill flake off a lot more paint and dirt doesnt show up as bad on silver  :lol:

The alloys are only cheap, came with the car. Need BBS ones  :drool:

Has yours got the same aerial as mine? I want a shiny one.

edit: just looked, yeah. mx5parts sell just the mast but not the whole aerial  :?

Ive not really looked at alloys, what are the BBS ones? My aerial doesnt show up very well on my pics, but it is metallic, not very shiny at the moment though. I could do with cleaning it with something.

At the moment though Im ore concerned that I dont think I have any fog lights, I need to check but its still in the garage.
