More pictures yay!
Found out why my coilies were uneven and not as low as I wanted. Bumpstops. Turns out the dustcovers doubled as 2" thick bumpstops so these were hastily removed. Yes yes, they protect the shock, but after removing them I tested stroke with the shocks and they are far from bottoming out, the top mount practically disappeared inside the damper body without bottoming out. As they are there's about 2" of travel til the spring goes coilbound, which it will before the damper can bottom out. Also means it's sat neatly on the wheel arch now. Like so:

Excuse the bricks, if the car was on the floor I wouldn't be able to lift it again
I may also have to remove the stickers now too seen as it's not static 
Also here's my novel solution to the lack of foglight action. Introducing the MX5 rear fog!

I personally like the custom (read: bodged) bracket made from about three L-brackets. It works, doesn't it?
Lastly, I need to know what these bits of the loom are. I don't know if they're supposed to be unused or what but I can't find a home for them.

And also a yellow one above the gearbox that I forgot to get a picture of. Ideas?
