MX5 Number plate plinth
The MX5 has a rather ugly (IMHO) number plate mount that looks like a reject from the Tupperware factory so
yesterday I made an aluminium one.
It keeps me off the streets.

Looks good!
Not sure you're allowed them anymore, but it looks prime for a self adhesive number plate to me

I think stick-on's are a no no.
I did wonder, but only for a split second, if the curvature of the plate was illegal; but like I said, just for that split second.
As an aside, I filled it with fuel today for the second time. 26.3 to the gallon. Am I driving it wrong ?

I don't think so Paul. I looked into a MX5 as a daily driver, the fuel consumption was worse than
my SAAB Aero it was going to replace 
Would be OK for a toy car though.

If I need economy on certain journeys I'll use my 3.2 straight 6 Merc. If I give that the beans I still get 38.
Actually for track days it will save fuel if I stick the MiXi on my trailer and tow it with the Merc.
And think of all that room to bring home all those shagged tyres.
