So, quite some time has passed now, and a lot of things happened to my Miata!
Since I had the new wing mounted, the car ooked kinda weird, as the paint was missing and the body was generally bleached quite a lot. So I went to a local paintshop (a friend of mine works there so I get stuff a little cheaper) to get the paint off and add some base coat. I didn't decide on a color yet, so I just left it that way. The one thing I disliked about this car was the suspension, as it was just not stiff enough and I did receive quite some lean in most turns. So I looked around for a set of shocks and springs, and quickly found an offer on ebay for a Koni suspension setup that had been mounted to an NB Miata, but was exchanged for a Tein one. The condition was good, according to the seller and he asked V$1000 for it. I could deal him down to V$920 in the end, but I believe that it was a pretty good deal for both of us. My dad helped me install them as soon as they arrived.   Last thursday I got an offer from a workmate to buy his original (!) Salad Shooter Corvette wheels and I just couldn't resist. He sold them to me for V$900 and I got a set of Toyo tires for V$180.   The following friday was the day I finally got the Miata painted, and I decided on a cool custom blue color that my friend and I mixed up at the shop. And on saturday I went to Cologne to visit another mate, using the opportunity to drive the car thorugh a city and snapped some pictures of my car aswell. What do you think?
