Re: 1999 Mazda Miata

I,didn't want another red sports car and in 99'Miatas were offered in a color called Evolution Orange,i found a close color from Nissan called Orange mist.the body is dull because I haven't added the clear yet.For the interior,i'm thinking of a light tan color.more updates as they happen,still trying to figure out the posting thing!!!

Re: 1999 Mazda Miata

Very nice start. The box art appears to show a left-hand drive; is that what the model has? I have a few Aoshima Mazda Miata/MX-5/Roadster kits and they are all right-hand drive.

Nice choice on the Evolution Orange too - that was never available down here to Aus. We have a Titanium Grey 2003 NB(8C) with the full SE/Mazdaspeed bodykit (+ 3" exhaust, extractors, DDM cold air intake, YellowSpeed coilovers ...), and have always thought it would look great in Evolution Orange. Looking forward to progress on this!

Re: 1999 Mazda Miata

Thanks for the comment potsie,it does come with left hand drive and I really like the color to it's very different.All the other Aoshima Miata's i have are right hand only to,guess they wanted to cash in on North American sales with it.
