New from Farnham-based Retro Car Style is a fiendishly clever body conversion for the Mazda MX-5 that gives it a ‘retromod’ look.

You can mix and match the choices by selecting a new front-end panel (£550), rear panel (£545), Bootlid (£400) or you can go for the full kit package at £1495.

In addition to the GRP parts as you remove the MX-5’s lighting, you will need to source new 7in headlights, indicators, side-lights and rear light lenses. Optional extras would be fog lights, reversing lights and third brake light.

A quick session on the websites – or on the blower – of the likes of Better Car Lighting, Car Builder Solutions, Rally Design or Kit Spares will have all the parts you need.

Allow for a bit of paint and you are all set.
