the "Renown" clothing manufacturer colours look a little odd on the car,are they sponsoring it?Or is it just an association thing with the 787b that won Lemans?
Regards

Looks better than the MX5s in that color, nice scuff on the rims!  :)

It\'s interesting to see what they\'ve left standard or not... not many cars have rims you\'d want to compete on! Standard strut brace too.

Anyone know if that\'s a works CAI setup?

Must be driving true smooth-in-fast-out with that amount of neg camber on it and brakes that big (and turn-in must be spine-snapping - it\'s vicious enough on a standard car)

Those hubs look like they\'ve been painted silver, interestingly enough.
