@pgunter
I dont mind sticking a 1.9 badge on the ///M and giving the MX5 a proper bashing

Take the Alpina Niall no one will notice

Tony.

Fair point. But then why didn’t they ask for Atlanta Blue if that’s what they meant by ‘German’.

And what’s German anyway? BMW do plenty of weird colours these days. Which I love btw

I agree just reading between the lines. Yes, I did wonder what was meant by "German" myself?

 

[littlefeller]

Make sure it' an M44 though

 

[Mazza]

I would volunteer my M44 1.9 but the car is camera shy, and currently is in bits anyway as I am adding roll hoops.

 

[Bringit96]

So afterwards can we put a sticker on the 1.9 saying 'MX5 Killer'?

 

[littlefeller]

Assuming it beats it, there fairly close on performance, the m44 would have around 20 extra ponies, question is though how well the motors have kept them in there stables.

 

[handsomejackuk]

no reply off email or facebook for the pics i sent... probably mine is not good enough too... not american enough....!!!!!

 

[Mazza]

Americans like adoring their cars so..........

This is probably what they want !!!!!!

 

[Alin S]

Do they need a pre or post facelift model? Seeing that the shoot would be with a MKII MX-5, I would have thought it would be a post facelift M43??

 

[Ianmc]

Needs to be a M44, or "we" are stuffed!!

 

[Geoff Rutland]

What a strange response. I think that's a great colour to feature. And I suspect your car is very original given you've kept those wheels

What is it with everyone & critising my wheels???

I love my wheels & yes, they are original!

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY WHEELS!!!

I absolutely adore the pepperpot wheels for the early Z3s.

If anything, I think it's the wheel style that works best with the narrow bodies.

@Tracy Dee come on pipe up!!! Your car is looking awesome with its new paint

Stuff the haters you have original wheels
You should see the non standard' s*** some people put on theirs Zeds Its hilarious

 

[mrscalex]

I didn't say there was anything wrong with the wheels though did I? And I'm not sure why you'd think that as I complimented the car and was sympathetic that you were snubbed by the magazine.

But they only came in 15" which is why many people change them as they look a little small in the wheel arch. The point was you'd resisted that temptation to keep the car original.

not at all, infact the donor car needs to have them too as they stick like proverbial to the blanket., I found no wheels handle as well as the original 15in peppers, I have swapped mine tons of times even with the correct off sets there still not as stable as the original wheels.
whether this has anything to do with the taller sidewalls or the E36 it was based on had 15s im not sure.

I really like the pepper pot wheels, they remind me of the ones on early MGBs, before they went rostyle.
