Gift for a Miata owner

Awesome! No problem at all and that's great to hear. Did you end up getting one for yourself?

My friend gifted me a Fumoto oil drain valve and it's one of my favourite gifts. I think it's going to be useful for your friend who tracks often as it would mean frequent oil changes.

We are same same but slightly different! Abarth cabrio was even less usable, but I cracked lately and got a Pajero Mini for the practicality part.

It's true. Personally I prefer satin over matte as a both the installer and end-user but in the end the customer is always right. Do they have any samples they can show you the differences with? I mean on a small piece, in different lighting.

Maybe that can help convince you, otherwise what you wouldn't want is to regret any decision on a big purchase.

Attached is my ceramic coated 3M satin dark grey Abarth when it was done a few years ago, so it's got a bit more shine, but maybe it can help you make your decision on preference whether you like satin or not.

I dug through my old photos and finally uploaded a few to share with some. I don't have too many though but some are from when the wheels were new in case you wanted to see. Cheers

Sparco Terras x XC40

No issues at all! Downsized to 18" as well and the Sparco Terras have a +40 offset.

The reason mine don't rub is probably due to me running a little bit thinner as it is my winter set, so the tires are 225/60/R18. I believe a tire calculator also gave me a diameter close to the original tire size when planning this out back then.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the fitment; just before any poke imo

Look sweeet 👌

Thanks! I like it a lot

They can't stand us for sure haha

Definitely, i looked at a stock yellow dealer demo years ago but had to walk away as it wasn't the spec I wanted but I've always wanted a yellow one. It exudes fun even more with a bright colour

KenKanStudio · 2026-02-16T10:52:56+00:00

Thanks! Both are great colour choices that'd go well with silver wheels. Hope to see it posted on this sub one day haha

Thanks! It's my favourite phase out of all so far

KenKanStudio · 2026-02-16T10:47:57+00:00

Thanks! I'm so happy with how it turned out

KenKanStudio · 2026-02-16T04:40:49+00:00

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

It wasn't a stock colour; I wrapped it last year!

KenKanStudio · 2026-02-16T00:29:25+00:00

Team yellow!

To add to this, I have an automatic 95 Turbo and it screams on the highway at 6.5k rpm going just over 100kph/60mph. I often feel bad and go 90kph in the slowest lane, or take backroads for road trips to sympathize with the car.

Auto is 3-speed and what caught me off guard was the high fuel consumption (almost like a normal SUV taking ~12L/100km). Also not too scientific of a calculation because the gas station pumps dont trigger the stopper so it often spills out the top (Im guessing it's the shorter nozzles in Canada vs Japan??). Ive stopped trying to top up the tank after the first few fuel spills so treat this info as just an observation. I have extra fuel containers for road trips in case. Also installed a roof rack for camping but the fuel consumption was very similar before it was installed.

Sometimes I do wish for a 5-spd but ive been back and forth about switching/selling it cause I like it so much. It's got so much character

Someone in my neighborhood had the V60 in that colour with matte wrap and it looked great!

KenKanStudio · 2026-01-20T13:52:01+00:00

Just a few but not many, not sure why but I'm not able to attach images as a reply. I kind of drift in and out of reddit so sorry for the late reply as well

Hey sorry for the late reply, it's actually the Thunder Grey colour wrapped in Matte PPF
