Chris's new build of an MX5 based car

[CTWV50]

Coming together, now the weather has decided what to do!



Honestly, it looks better in person. It's a bit of shock when you step out the house and look up, not expecting it to be there, or look so red! I can feel the end.....

Hi Chris,

First, I think the car looks very good. Very red indeed, but it is not shocking to me, I really like it You're almost done, congratulations!

I fitted my rear arches this week-end too, and I was wondering: what kind of trim/piping did you use between the arches and the side panels/rear tube? I can see a black lining there on your pictures, and I often saw that on finished cars, but I don't know what it is, and I'd like to put some on my car too to seal this part.

Could you please let me know?

Thanks.

Hi Sylvian, Thanks for the comments. If you do an ebay search for "wing piping" there are some people shipping internationally. Or try this link it was cheaper for me than ebay.

OK, now that I see it, I understand better. I think I'm going to order some from Kitspares with other stuffs I need.
Thanks for the help

Last night I dug out the Saturn/NTS/Gillham Aero thingumajig to see if it fit's, and it kind of does. There is a small gap but a bit of foam strip should do. Took loads of pictures which you can look at in my photo stream.



So if you can live with the gap this seems a good solution to the AGM body for an aero screen.
