yeh Gurj - even tho im a fan of the bare arse i have decided that the rear is lacking so i got a rear wing getting painted up for it.

yeh sorry should have put down the sizes too - 9.5 rears 8.5 fronts 18\'s. i think thats probably the maximum i can go at the minute - ive had to remove a couple of mm lip from the arches...

thanks for the comments guys - amazing how a set of rims transforms a motor!

Like that a lot mate. Think the new wheels really suit it and i like the front end to. As has been said, does need th eback doing now.
I\'ve got a set of the same side skirts as you which i\'ve got to put on my car, but i think i\'m going to go for a different look (not that i dont like it) so will be selling them soon.

I\'ve got a set of those side skirts i\'m thinking of selling. They are Mazdaspeed copies but brand new, never used and ready for paint. Was thinking of £130 +p&p
Let me know if your interested and i\'ll sort them out for you :)

Cheers dude.

the Kit came with the car so Rixio might be able to help - i did a bit of research and mazdaspeed released a limited edition FD with this kit on it which you could buy new from the dealers. (i dont have the rear bumper/spoiler/bonnet). So I think it might be a bit difficult to get a genuine version of this kit. The kit is called the "GTC"

i know you can buy a copy but the ones i have seen dont come with the perspex light covers and look a bit wierd.

as in regards to cost i wouldnt doubt its gonna be expensive.

You can still get some of the original GTC parts direct

GTC Rear Bumper add-ons 87,150 yen (£408)

The original hood is no longer available new

Looks much better, but don\'t know about a red gt wing... :2Confused. The kit is mucho expensive. TII\'s front and skirts are both original
