New pics of my fto

[richardc9052]

The paint needs a touch up and i am debating either new wheels or refurb and spray white... preferences anyone?

Have to say Richard, its looking great.
I'd keep the wheels silver.

Black mx5 side repeaters and red tint on back indicators would look great.

Sound

Are they a standard item on mx5's?

Looks very tidy. .
Personally I wouldn't have black repeaters as they would stand out as they wouldn't match anything Unkess you black out the windows and are too small on their own. Might to possible to tint them with the tint for the rear to give a more flush look.

I'd also just spray the originals White, they look great that way.

i have seen a few red fto's with the standard wheels done in white and it looks good but im not 100% gone on it yet..
Are there any clear repeaters that will fit instead?

Thanks stewy

[colm_mcm]

Crystal black will match the headlights and front indicators.
Clear doesn't look great on red.

lookin nice, i think white alloys would look the business!

The vw lupo clear indicators fit the FTO. I think I remember streelroe staying something about this on a thread!

They aren't actually what i had imagined! hmm a little more cyrstal on the lens and it would be perfect!
Where can i get these?

I shall have a look into it.. i think thiss would be a good idea for a thread ; what fits the fto and enhances its looks but is standard on everyday cars...

I believe he was referring to the front indicator pods on the facelift bumper, not to be confused with the side indicators.

get a set of MX-5 repeaters off ebay and mod them to fit.

I'd leave the wheels silver, that said, I'm a stock kinda guy.

Is it me or is the bootlid a bit off? It looks like the GPX sticker was put in place at an odd angle. Otherwise, its a great base car, some subtle cosmetic improvements will make all the difference.

These ones would be better in that case.

[Sebastian]

this photosession reminds me of my first FTO


nice car dude

[richardc9052]

Painted wheels matte black, left the yellow caps alone.. think it looks well





The sun was shining right on the side so it looks a little pink

[Sebastian]

great pics ,
A wash /wax would have helped a lot

[StewyD32]

very nice. I like the matte so their not too glossy. Goes well with the car.
Are you keeping the centre caps yellow. I think they look good sitting on the black

[Mitsubishi-Mental]

they give her a good, aggressive look, fairplay man she's a nie FTO

What turned ya off spraying them white?

Yep! can wait to see what other people have in store
I like the yellow too, looks cool.. wouldnt spray over them even if i wanted to!

Sound, i thought so too.. it makes it look mean
I wasnt put off painting them white... i found a tesco bag with all the rattle cans, sand paper and masking tape i had from all my previous car so i just used that... Free is the word :O

I guess the yellow centercaps echo the yellow side repeates..

personally I'm a bit like that fella Mick Jagger..
