Things to buy for your MX5



So you have the snazzy car of your dreams and you want to keep it looking up to date and well groomed so why not shop around and find the relevant accessories for it to help it become great to fantastic.

Being a designer, I know that it is all about the detail, so the small changes that you can make to your MX5 will give it overall individuality and a super sleek, groomed look. These items don’t have to cost a great deal but do transform and smooth out those rough edges. Here are a few of my ideas for you to polish up your pride and joy:

  • Start by investing in some really good quality products so you can look after the cleanliness of you MX5 such as; shampoo, polish, alloy wheel cleaner, glass cleaner and upholstery cleaner. The list of products is endless but I would start with these. You can buy starter sets, which will obviously be a little kinder on the pocket so be sure to check these out too. The only other product I can’t live without is T-Cut and a small cover match paint pen for those little stone chips that will inevitably and unfortunately occur.
  • If you haven’t already, purchase a MX5 hardtop cover. It’s great for peace of mind during those summer months and will guarentee a safe home for your hardtop.
  • Aluminium or chrome foot petals are such a luxury but they finish the look. Stylish right down to your toes…nice. These are not too expensive and you can pick up an aluminium set for around £30.00 and the chrome for a bit more, around £70.00 it’s also a nice present for your better half!
  • Chrome indicator rings- Here’s where the details come in and I think they make all the difference. You can get your hands on a set for around £28.00.
  • Driver seat storage bag. This is really useful as we all know there isn’t an awful lot of extra space in these little beauties! Pick one of these up for about £20.00.
  • If you fancy a driving holiday you can buy specific luggage bags to fit in the boot of your MX5 – These are a fantastic buy at only £150.00 for a matching set of two to fit snugly in the boot. Alternatively, if you are just one; then you can get a single case to fit for around £120.00.
  • Really you can buy anything in chrome. From number plate surrounds to tax disk holders and door handles to windscreen wipers. Once you discover this side you won’t ever get stuck for things to treat your MX5 to.
