We actually submitted that shot to Sony's GT5 Photomode competition :lol:

Yup, it's time to freshen up the car, and make it saleable.
I'm trawling ebay looking for fresh Silver parts to replace all the dented and bent parts littering Bert, getting quotes for dent removals and (properly) getting bits re sprayed.

**Have you thought of finding a V6 MX-3? Not sure how it'd affect your insurance (there's almost no way to be sure these days) and, while you'd lose 4-5mph top end to an MX-6 or Probe, you'd be pace-for-pace right up to there and you can rape 'em in the turns…
You could also probably find a silver one, swap the custom bits onto it, the silver bits back to Bert and Bob's your mother's brother.**

Not even an option Famine my friend. I think that insurance companies see the MX3 as a sports car (well, it is really) yet the MX6 is a family car (apparently). If I was to do what you suggested I would be bent over double by insurance companies and if I'm honest I'm all out of love with the MX3. I've tried the lowering and still not doing it for me :(

Had a fun 3 mile drive home in the MX3 today, she was making some awesome noises when I was redlining it, love the pop pop pop it makes, could this be a turn around of my mood, we will have to see?
-
Get a freakin tubby on there !!!! then it will make some awesome noises ;)

Got angry tonight, got some emails of some more peoplee offended by my facebook deletion so took the car out for some tharapy :lol:

Liking the looks of these wheels (top left on the page) :) 8)

So I've been practicing my carbon wrapping skills.
I took one iPod, one bit of carbon sheeting and…...
Voila :) a lightweight racing iPod :lol:
I am hoping to get an iPod ready head unit off my nearest and dearest so I thought I'd give it a touch of the fake weave to go with the fake weave centre console I have done.
-
great work on the ipod looks cool

Might possibly do some mirrors and my front splitter but just used up some scraps of the sheet to do these little things:
I could do with a better quality vinyl like decalFX.com use, cus then I could stretch it a little better, as it is this stuff just seems to melt a little and lose its colour.

have you thought about doing the whole dash? that would be awesome! or not? trying to picture it, but what you've done looks nice.

Far too fiddley for me mate, I can do easy square things at the moment and that's about it. The dash would look, well, I'm not sure, I think it would look cool but a bit OTT. I'm all for getting the flocked look going on mine.

Search on google Jay, there are loads of places on there and I don't want to put every one that I have just seen in a link. You can get your own flocking kit, which I might look into…...
