I just ordered 4 plastic centre caps for my RS Watanabe wheels from RHD in Japan. Not much change from £50!! Will cover up the rusty axle centres nicely though.

May well get a new exhaust this year, purely for a better soundtrack.

Those stainless steel door speaker surrounds. Cant remember what I paid but it was pretty ridiculous, looks very smart though.
OP where did you get you Wat's from? I've been on the hunt for some type B 14x6.5 et 14.5 but they're so rare!

TRS front tow strap. I'm sure its great but I haven't bothered fitting it and it's just gathering dust in the garage.

I got the wheels from someone local to me on MX5 Nutz, not cheap but they had just been fully refurbished and looked great! They are the one-piece minilite style ones, light gunmetal with a polished rim.

Sound like they might be Rota RBs.

Yes they do look like them, but they have the RS Watanabe logo embossed on them. Think they're called R-Type.
