Nice colour scheme, very subtle.

I think using them range rover sport side vents spoil the full look.

I agree. Glad I went with standard cobra vents. Nice colour though. Originally considered grey myself. Would have put black stripes on it though. :)

I quite like the lighter stripes, less 'in your face', but i keep looking at them side vents! they dont match the shape of the door!

mind you, the price isnt bad considering the low millage on the z3 and it is a 3.0l, but then again it is an auto....

Not at that age unless he's retro-fitted a 3 litre.

Maybe he has it wrong but engine size does state 3.0l

Perhaps it has 3 engines?
Danny_HUFC 5 Sep 2014, 2:06pm
if its the 1.9l it will need 3 engines....

DVLA site says its a 2.8....

There is another one on Fleabay, Not sure why people are building to sell, I think this devalues the whole idea.

Just my thoughts.....

I get the feeling that the Kobras aren't going to fetch much on the market for some reason. Lack of real info on the Web perhaps. Demonstrator was on sale for £11k I think? No website to refer people to? It seems the mx250 sells better yet is a cheaper kit on a cheaper car (usually! ) I love mx5's by the way!! :)

I've 8k invested in mine (including the car!). Surely it's bound to make that back (or near it). Not that I'm selling anytime soon.
