It's a roof spoiler from a Ford Fiesta, it only needs a little sanding of each end. Do you mean Mk1 MX5?

Yes , will be.
Currently sat with a 2000 Z3, 2.8, 49,000 miles on the clock.
Just need to sell, my SLK, hopefully a decent weekend of sun will get people wanting a soft top.
I am comming to the show for a chat on monday.

Looking forward to catching up with you at Stoneleigh.
Don't forget to take some padding for the long journey in those seats or you'll be walking like a Tour de France cyclist at the show!
The Kobra looks good - lowering has made a huge difference.

I echo the comments above .
When I saw this earlier in the week , it was looking like a tall order to get it ready. I shouldn't have doubted you both.
This car re-style will do very well in my opinion , its a natural.
Once again , when you first conceived the idea , I wasn't sure at all , but it really does work.
Good luck this weekend , although I somehow doubt if you will need luck to sell these.
Top job Chris and Dan.

Stoneleigh...
Hi Chris - just wanted to say that having seen you at Stoneleigh on Monday, was really impressed with the finish of the car (Z3 Kobra) the car compares really very well with the more authentic reproductions and really appears to deliver on the promise of being a viable daily driver. Great job - really well done.

Tribute - Hi Chris,
The photos of the two Kobras at Stoneleigh do look good.
I've updated the "useful info" thread with one of the photos of "the blue one".
After you have had a chance to put your feet up for a bit can I ask a favour?
Could you post some info & more photos of how the boot lid works on your "white one"?
I am coming to the conclusion that a removable panel might be easier than something with hinges for my own build.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Paul
Thanks for the update on the sticky and the praise for the Kobra.
You have probably seen this pic on the FOR SALE tread by now :
but if you need some close up shots just let me know. The parts used are:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3710219150...84.m1439.l2649
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3908125624...84.m1439.l2649
which are also available in an alloy finish.

Thanks for the links and photo Chris.
Although I'm not sure I understand how the two sets of locating pins can work at different angles?
Is there some wiggle room so you can push the rear of the boot lid "in" & the top of it "down" at the same time?
I hope that makes sense, as I am probably just being a bit "thick".
Cheers, Paul.

Dash holes
Have you tried the icecream holders out yet? We've been photographing our Kobra again (as it is so pretty).

Troubles in Belgium
Hi Chris,
The president of our club (works for the Belgian MOT) has visited your stand at the show last week. He told me that it would be a problem for the Belgian MOT if the bonnet was made of polyester. Could you take a picture from the inside of the bonnet especially the steel frame.
Still very interested in the Kobra!
Best regards,
Walter

Hi Paul.
The bottom pushes onto the 2 pins first and then you "hinge" the lid down onto the other pair of pins. I hope this helps.
