Great write up Oli. My neighbour has two MX5,s (can't bear to sell the older one). Cleans both on a non-stop basis and she got so upset by my exhaust tips that she came over with her cleaner and had a good go at them. They won though, still as grubby as ever
Here's a detail I love about these cars. Look straight down at the tips (when they're fitted Oli) so you can just see them peeking out from under the bumper and you'll see that they are curved to match the curve of the bumper. This is not easy engineering. What a passion for detail must have made them that way. I guess that's why we love these motors
