Vindi Roadsters

The arches are the correct ones for the kit, not Tuckin ones so they will all just bolt on. I'm trying to track down some of the history of the car, but I'll load some pics of how it looked when it was all fitted.

I have some PIAA lights that were from a Rally car I had a few years back, they would fit in theory but I'll leave the holes for induction rather than hanging a load of weight off them, they seem to crack a bit too easily with the lights fitted from what I've seen.

Was it this Car in Mariner Blue? I think I have at least 2 photos of it saved on my hard drive at work hahhaha it was a well put together car.

That's what I'm trying to trace, I think it's a different car and it's just a coincidence that 2 of the 3 Nopro cars that have come up for sale in the past 5 or 6 years in the UK are Mariner Blue! I just need to find the number plate of the cars and see if they match. The black bumper on mine is a bad DIY job, Mariner Blue underneath.

I think the blue one above was in a crash, as I remember seeing it for sale looking rather shabby, with some fiberglass damage.

There was a white one up for sale recently, really sad looking car. The owner had managed to damage the lower portion of the bumper by catching a speed bump, and instead of repairing it he had cut the bottom of the bumper off. Not just a small bit of it, he had cut across at the centre point of the round holes! A real shame, I asked if he had any of the damaged parts but he'd thrown it all away so I thought it was too much work to try to remake it, especially at the strong money he was asking.

Apparently one of the Blue cars was used as a drift school. http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31045

Same one as the link, see the sticker on the headlight lid. Thought I'd seen it with some damage...

Miataland has a mint NoPro, over in Italy.





Interesting car; I don't recall seeing many non-PW NA8s out of Japan, so I guess it's a genuine converted car.

non pw roadsternut? what's PW.

I don't like the changes they've done at the bottom of the front. Perhaps this bumper/car is the one you talked of Russell, with the lower damage? The wheels are however to die for, <3

Power window. Base spec NA8 Roadsters are very rare. In Japan, such cars are almost invariably related to track usage. Base spec NA6s are a bit more common.

Managed to confirm the blue one pictured above is definitely a different one to mine

Got a couple of pics of my kit fitted, earlier this year I think





Will try to do a mini test fit this weekend if I can, not that I'll be able to do much work on my car until early next year, but I kind of want to see how it looks in the flesh
