That looks great Dave!!
Mine\'s also red-did you get it resprayed in the original "vintage-red" and was the respray a "windows out" job or not??!
Thanks
Pete :wave

thanks for the comments guys,

i kept the origional mazda red paint code NU. al lthe glass was taken out including doors off etc to spray all the door and boot shuts. i completeley stripped and rebuilt the car myself.

the rear bumper is webber sports, as for the wheels they are rays.

im really pleased with it and well worth all the cash and cussing :D

Dave,
1) That rear bumper is mental and unique!-is there some sort of perspex bubble over the reg plate??
2) I presume with your "proper-bo" respray, it cost around 3000 grand??-Only asking, cos if i get respray, i don\'t want no peely edges by the window rubbers!:p
Cheers
Pete

Hi Ian,
I just got the impression from the Parkgate boys, that removing all the windows would bump up the price!?
Maybe i need a place that does it all the time, to drop the cost!

I think i have the same rear bumper.

The FIRST in Germany !!

But the bumper doesn\'t fit. I don\'t know where is the problem.

Here a picture...
