As others have said, please post more pictures. From what I've seen, painting the entire car in white plasti-dip doesn't look as bad as the other plasti-dip colours. Would be interesting to see this parked next to billybunter's car (see http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46454).

Please keep us informed on how it holds up and any ongoing maintenance issues.

Pick up a cheapo OBDII scanner/dongle off eBay, it'll tell you straight up.
But yes I would assume if your throttle elbow came off this would throw a code

these are right before and right after painting.

from today 2 weeks after painting. fresh tires. just noticed a scuff on the drivers side under the door. im pretty sure its from the guy at the tire shop, :evil:

thes pics include the new NA side skirts which i only have installed on the passenger side having broken 3 drills trying to do it on the floor.
and the carbon fiber wrap on the windscreen. had to do it in 3 pieces. didnt have any lengths big enough to do it in one. its not too noticeable at the moment but ill definately redo it in future.

close ups of the sh*t custom faded rims and the red calipers.
the head lights and the carbon fiber wrapped reflectors. i quite like the reflectors.

some shots of the fully sick sticker wor i did on the rear window, probably highly illegal. already been through an RBT with it and they said nothing.
also the debadged rear.
and some shots of the interior. note the boost gauge and sticker bombed gear and radio surround.

might just be able to see the scuffed paint under the door.
but you can see the most important mod hanging from my rear view.

LOWlife · Postby **LOWlife** » Mon Jan 06, 2014 7:48 pm

last bunch of pics for now. all engine bay. see if you can see the boost tee.
also the new rad and shots of the clearance between the pipes. or lack of.
