Replying to: destry (Aug 23, 2008 5:52 pm) My MPG is always 29 - 30 around town and (this is sad) after 11 months with the car I just took my first road trip which was only 75 miles each way to a concert last week and got 33 MPG out of that tank, but mine is the 6AT..all those years I drove a stick MPG was always better than Auto but also got me lots of tickets,.This 6AT is geared for gas mileage,when I drive in manual/auto mode and paddle shift I'll get about 26MPG but I'm sure I could get even less Replies to this message: ateixeira (Aug 28, 2008 5:37 am)

#471 of 529 Bumper Specifications by wduke Sep 16, 2008 (10:22 pm)
Just a quick note to say Canada (RIV) has finally come to grips over the bumper standards. We are finally in line with the U.S. and Europe so that will be one less thing we will have to deal with when importing a vehicle into Canada.
#472 of 529 Color match for bumper on stormy blue mica by icepanda Dec 28, 2008 (7:05 pm)
Our 2008 MX-5 was hit yesterday by a piece of flying debris on the highway (only 527 miles!! shed a few tears), which tore a hole through the bottom of the bumper and took out the driver side fog light. We're hoping the body shop can match the color - any thoughts? Thanks.

Replying to: icepanda (Dec 28, 2008 7:05 pm) Sorry to hear that.   The fact that it's new helps a lot - no paint fade to try to match. They should be able to nail it. The color codes are usually on the door jamb sticker. Replies to this message: icepanda (Dec 29, 2008 7:09 pm) ateixeira (Dec 30, 2008 8:52 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 29, 2008 10:24 am) That's exactly what the body shop said today. I took my green Jeep Cherokee to him when my niece backed into it and crushed the front fender. It was hard to tell the difference in the paint and that Jeep was a few years old at the time. We're hoping for the best. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Dec 30, 2008 8:52 am)

#476 of 529 need info from '08 owner by tishpit1 Mar 12, 2009 (1:12 pm)
I posted also on the NC forum, so excuse the duplicate. I am looking at a new '08 leftover Grand Touring, but I found I need more lumbar support than the seat provides. Can someone with an '08 tell me if there is a zipper or other access to open up the seat cover to insert a lumbar support (inflatable)? Do the side airbags/wiring interfere with accessing the lower driver's seatback under the leather so the support could be inserted and positioned? I had an old 1990 that I loved and the seat fit fine. The '09's have a re-designed seat that have more lumbar support, but I'm seeing some great deals on the '08's and don't know if I can wait... sun is now shining!!! Thanks!

Replying to: icepanda (Dec 28, 2008 7:05 pm) There are two threads asking about color match. I have a 08 and with less than 100 miles on it and two days old, I was playing with the radio and ran into the back of a guy doing about 25mph. $8,000 worth of damage. Mine is true red and the front end, hood and left fender all had to be replaced or fixed. You can not tell at all even in bright sun light that there was damage. For small stone nicks I purchased a small bottle of touch up paint from the dealer ($6.00) it is thin so you have to work it in coats to cover but match is good.
