I haven\'t taken many pics since fitting the new \'99-spec spoiler so after giving her two coats of polish I took a few pics last weekend. Just an excuse for some gratituous pictures really!

:eek: now that looks very very nice and very clean...love the body work...nice and smooth and the shine on it ... :D
WOW ,

Thats the best thing about black, once polished it looks stunning !!!!
Gurj
Its looks fantastic mate.
You gotta love a black RX :D
Very........very........clean!!
Looks great.
Dan!!
Looks very nice, I quite fancy a black one next:cool :D
Just a quick question, what are the tyre sizes fitted to those wheels? I have some wheels that look almost identical with the mazda logos and everything, but the rim is only 16inch and I always thought that these wheels were 17\'s on the later cars.
Cheers,
Paul:)
Thanks for the comments! The wheels are 235x40x17 at the front and 255x45x17 at the rear. I think late-spec (98 or 99 onwards) had new 16" alloys that looked identical to the older 17\'s.
HI Steve, nice car, where abouts are you in South Wales
Hi, Rhondda area, only seen two RX7\'s locally to me, a black one (getting serviced in V-spec last summer) and a red one in Tonypandy...
Hi Steve, I live in Pentwynmawr, which is near Blackwood. Rx7\'s are a bit rare around here in South Wales, mind you i did see a red one last weekend in Llantrisant, he gave me a beep and a thumbs up. I might see you around some time, by the way mines silver and on a K plate.
Wow, I reckon that that is one of the best looking fd\'s around. Very nice car Flat Steve. Thanks for the photos.
Flat_Steve: What polish did you use? I\'m thinking about getting some of that clay bar stuff to try out, as mine hasn\'t been polish/waxed for quite a while now, and seeing yours has made me want to do it!! I know it can be shiny again!!
Very smart. And I agree....black looks great when polished. Far better for reflections of the sky and that in pictures than any other colour.
Check yer tyre sizes though. Think you\'ll find 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear.

Yep you\'re right I had them the wrong way round (not on the car thankfully though lol).
It\'s just autoglym Super resin polish, I have a bottle of extra gloss protection but haven\'t used it yet.
