Also, post up pictures of your RX\'s with a kit on and also state what parts you have please.

Thanks!

Hi

I live in North London and speed bumps are a nightmare.  I think you should get a nose and a lip separately.  I scratch the lip quite frequently and to re-spray and fit the lip I get charged around £100.  Imagine if your front was one peace. You will pay a lot more since to remove the whole nose will take time and cost money.  The lip you can take off your self, take it to the garage and pick up next day done.   You still have the car to drive around.  With a nose damaged you are talking ¾ days at the best of time plus if you don\'t need a replacement.  Mazda speed lip you can get of members of this club in a day.

My car has 99 front spec nose and Mazda speed lip and spoiler.

Regards,
Michaelb

Michael, thats the sandard 99-spec nose and splitter you have...

Thanks michealB. Is your car lowered at all? are there any front lips that will fit the C - west front bumper. A kinda new to the whole bodykit thing so bear with me!

thanks in advance.

...you are right, my spoiler is Mazda Speed, it\'s a 96 RB Bathurst with 99 nose and standard lip.

Typing mistake.

Hi

The car has been lowered.  The front is 5" off the ground.
I have Tein suspension fitted at a cost of £1500.  It is adjustable,
so you can up or down the car as you like.  Worth every penny.  It handles superb.

Re: C-west bumper.  I do not know but I have a feeling it will not fit.  Ask the companies who advertise with mazdarotaryclub.com on the front page.

Michaelb

Hi

The car has acutally only just arrived from Japan..bought car with that kit on...just stood out so much in auc!!!

For this kit... you will probably have to go theou a cwest dealer... i can look into it and see how muchi can psource one for if you like..... i would have a word with a bodyshop mate... as i find prices may vary.. a friend of mine does all my workso ant really give u a good idea lol!!

As for speed humps tbh we dont have any!!! i think if ya careful thou and dont have it too low you will be fine!!

Yep car is lowerd not sure by ow much thou...its on tein adj suspension.... as for rims they are made by matrix,really good quality rim. dont know any one selling them in the uk ... again if you like that exact rim i can look to source them for you or see if we have any other styles avail...

Or ya could sell ya 96 and buy this one bud lol;)

If you are getting a C-West nose, you can order them in PRP - like the stock nose flexible material rather than the normal after market FRP that will generally disintegrate if you hit any thing with it! Dont think its that much more expensive than the FRP other.

I drove into a mates bomb proof 5 bar gate and my stock mazda nose was unmarked. A C-West rear bumper in FRP I touched with a kerb just crumbled

[STi_Ver.4]

Haha. Thanks alot mate, big help, Ill have to get in touch with you when the car arrives, i believe it will be at the end of june:confused: . So ill pm you or something, let us know on pm or on here how much you can source the parts for and where are you?

How about the veilside stuff with an RE-Amemiya AD gt kit.

I thought mine would end up this way,
But it somehow got sidetracked.

I got a c-west front with lowered tein.. scrapes sometimes but thats life.. if your not hammering over speed bumps its quite easy to avoid - though that depends on how low ya suspension is

[STi_Ver.4]

Andyp how much is yours lowered by and what size wheels have you got?
