You take better photographs with a camera phone than I can manage with a borrowed SLR! The car looks brilliant, too - not to my usual taste but all the mods are spot-on and work with the general look and feel of the car.
Love your attitude about the windows - 'I know nothing about how this works but I'll have a crack at it anyway' - the kind of positive outlook that used to define shed-dwelling Britishness! Good on you.

More super pics - this is such a cool MX5. So many of them are owned by eejits who do nothing but promote the hairdresser bit but yours just proves how cool these little cars can be

Thanks everyone! Bit more progress, the hardtop paint had started to flake off again, and the red match was 'sh*t' at best anyway, so... Been itching to getting round to spraying my roof for a long time now. So bought some spray cans and some sand paper, and set to it. Most important tool: Sanded down: And some paint: Leannes genius 'paper roof' masking: First coat of black: Some patience and a few coats later... Finish isnt perfect, but roof looks tons better than it did before.
