One of the cleanest Roadsters that I've seen (although, not in person) was Barrie Strachen's

-Eddie Wu
It was the Hood that made Barrie's Car.
He removed the bump down the middle. made a huge difference in the look.

Some please post a picture.

I don't take pictures.

I think the Panasport look seems to be the right look for a roadster.Craig Hoppers car is probably the meanest looking one around and others just look classic.

I tried to be a bit different but really liked the style of the panasport so I went with a local Miata racing clubs' wheel of choice. Quantem Teck.

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

I also like those appliance wheels.
I also like the inherited Enkei's that were on my Roadster, just not thrilled about the gold center color.
At the same time, I'm not sure what I want to change it too. :?:

Yeah, everyone does. Even Gordon doesn't know bumper was used to graft ends onto the sectioned roadster bumper.

The split bumper is perfect for the fog lights. I'm not a fan of fog lights sitting like mushrooms on the bumper LOL
That is such a cool photo as well.

I like my superlite wheels and have no desires or plans to put any other wheels on this car because of a popularity of another wheel. I have had many compliments on them from owners of show cars in my town. So rock on superlite owners.
