Does anyone know of/have any pictures of purple Miatas? As in repainted, not as in the stock merlot color. I imagine there has to be somebody on carlife with one, but I don't really want to look through 1000+ profiles.

I was thinking about how a medium shade of it would look, something close to or a bit darker than the purple on HKS cam gears, and the way I'm picturing it could come out great. I don't have photoshop though, which is why I'm hoping something similar is out there and documented.

Thanks very much.

The link isn't working for me right now, but this is Bill Wilner's photo page and it has many pics of his unfinished purple NA

The Car Service Hiro car is an interesting purple-blue reflective color that changes shades depending on light and angle:

I've always wanted to paint my car a deep metallic purple. Someday... I keep telling myself. Someday...

Hey what wheels are those on the Car Service Hiro car? Looks like +20 offset or so and probably a 15x7 but the spoke design is very cool how it sinks in like that...

Like Slevin said, TE37 Cup, probably 15x6.5 +35. The spokes just bow in really far to make it have more of a "lip"

Here's the Millen custom from the mid-90s.

Long gone off their web site... was a good looking car. Car & Driver did an article on the car after it was built.

I remember that article. Was it featured in Miata Magazine as well?

And are those FD RX-7 turn signal lamps? mmm mmm purple

I've seen two in person and they both left a lot to be desired. I think purple is a color that really needs a very good quality paint job and carefully selected shade to keep it from looking bad.

I don't have pics but there is one I see somewhat regularly. If I see it any time soon, I'll snap a pic.

Actually that's the car built by Peter Farrell. He was hoping Mazda would sell a SC model of it, but things never jelled...
