My new(ish) to me Zed

So back in February I bought this off a member on here. Cosmetically needs work but I only paid £4k or so for it so I wasn't too fussed.
Needs a bumper respray and the wheels refurbing desperately! - everything else is to be expected for a car of its age.
So far all I've done is upgrade the cabin lights to LED (massive difference) and remove the sound generator foam. Oh, and I got the wheel recovered by Royal Steering Wheels - it's fantastic!

My to-do list involves spacers, new springs and upgrading the rear lights to the clear spot ones.
Anyway, here are some phone pics after it was washed today - they flatter it!

Very nice. A huge amount of car for £4000

Oh completely! My main criticism other than the suspension is the seats - I really need some M-Sport ones!

Great car for the money!

I know what you mean about the seats, but at least the ones you have are a good colour - red seats somehow suit the more sober paint colours!

And it looks like you have some choice goodies - pdc, heated seats, cruise, Sat-Nav and multi-function steering wheel. Nice!

Very nice - I like black and red combs, RoyalWheels refurb makes a huge difference to the driving experience does it

Yea I love the colour...had a black mx5 with red seats before this

It has all the goodies that's for sure, though the PDC doesn't work as 2 sensors are dead

Totally, I wasn't sure it would be worth it but I was wrong. Really makes the interior that bit more modern as well as making the driving that bit nicer as you aren't sliding around on the wheel.

Update!
Finally sourced some clear spot rear lights....via German and US Ebay!
Anyway, fitted them and love them!
