Finally got the arches riveted and sealed on, stoked with how it looks now, spoiler sitting a bit better now its raised up 2.5" on the risers too!  I'm thinking of getting some of the side stripes, like the Garage Star jobbies, but not sure on colour, I'm thinking Matt black, Dark Green or possibly Grey?  |

Got the side stripes made and fitted! Love them!  Having a pop at a diy undertray and splitter, just playing with plywood for now but ultimately planning for a 2 peice affair with removable front lip for practicality!   Need to get some decent shots, arches are now riveted and bonded on! |

Looks good Toby, something I really want to have a go at on mine whilst I still have free CFD access! In case you haven't already, check out the homemade aero thread on turbo miata, some really good splitter/bumper designs on there  |

Cheers dude, yes lots of inspiration taken from that thread! Did a bit more to it this weekend, got the under tray fixed on the 2 rear mounting points and cut to shape on the front, bought some shiny turnbuckles to hold it up too, need to get some mounts made up to add some further support from the chassis rails now, then will probably make the under tray from ally and the lip removable. Pretty happy for a first stab with how its come out really so took some ghey photos!    |

Thanks mate! More titivating on the lip/under tray tonight, here's how it now looks, cut outs for the steering rack mounts so the undergrad sits higher.    Plan now is to get that shape cut out of ally, then figure out a way of mounting the lip itself, ideally wanting something that can be fixed and removed quite quickly. |

Great to see your car at Retro Rides today (fun run down the duel carriageway/ Motorway too).
It looks, runs and sounds awesome!

Thanks mate! Was good to see yours too looks excellent!! Shame we didn't cross paths on the day to say hello! Cheeky little convoy always helps make the pilgrimage home a bit more fun :-)!

You want some Dzus fasteners for quick and easy removal. Pain to fit, super secure and easy to remove though. Just drill a couple of small access holes in the undertray to get a screwdriver through?

Thanks mate that's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, I'd have never have known to search "dzus" so will get some on order!

Thanks mate that's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, I'd have never have known to search "dzus" so will get some on order! Car Builder Solutions is the place you need. Easiest way to fit is with pop rivets; remember to put a washer behind the rivet ball so it doesn't pull through the plastic. |

First outing on track with this on Sunday, just a 20 min session at trax (silverstone national) but enough to have a shed load of fun!

Simply the best wheels dude. My absaloute favourite, in the right colour too. I'm keeping my eyes open for some, 15x7 ET20 ideally. Love it.
