Laguna with white 

This is one of the most beautiful Miatas I've ever seen. I first saw Christian Brandstetter's car in Paris as part of the 1998 meet and took some photos. He then found it online! Not only is the car that lovely pretty colour, but Christian has done a fantastic job with the interior. You have to see it. He lives about 10 minutes from Zurich with his girlfriend Marisa, who he describes as "Italian power woman!". In 1997, he saw a beautiful car in a garage near his house. He had to have it. After convincing Marisa, he's loved it ever since and enjoys all his MX-5 friends. The parts come from the Baumann shop in Zurich.

The makeover:

• Blaupunkt stereo/CD with amp and subwoofer
• Painted Pioneer speakers
• White gauge faces
• Many chrome interior parts, including the door sills, handbrake and shift knob
• Chrome fuel lid
• Lighted mirror
• Special Miata floor mats
• Painted center console with grey wood trim
• Italian leather seats (soon!)
• RB style bar
• Front lip spoiler
• BSP low profile headlights
• Jackson Racing cold air induction
• PIAA 1200 foglamps
• Sebring exhaust
• Kosei 17" wheels
• Eibach springs
• Matching hardtop (pictures to come!)
• ... and a good Gemini alarm system so he keeps it all.

I'm hoping to see Christian and his car again in Bruges in 2000!
