Thought I would post some pics on what I have been up to the past few weekends..

I finished spraying the spoiler last weekend and fitted it today.  The spare holes are filled and rubbed down, and I now just need to give the tailgate a spray over.  Really pleased with the look of the rear, but think it now needs the 99 spec lights to match... :cool

Unfortunatly the Bumper is not as straight forward as the spoiler.  It looked like it would be a pretty good fit, but after trying to offer it up to the car, it turns out it is a shockingly bad fitment :Nono! .  Now I know why it was so cheap!!!  Will have to carry on cutting filling and sanding tomorrow to see if I can get the bugger on!! :2Rolleyes



Hope you like....

Martin.


Will post more pics when the Bumpers on and I have finished painting.

Looks great mate.  Where did you get the spoiler?  Is it a copy?  I didnt really consider one before but looking at your pics is it 3 piece?

Hello Mate,

I brought the spoiler from a MRC member.  It is not an original mazda part, but the fit and quality of spoiler is really good.  I am pretty sure it came from this ebay seller originally.  
It comes is 3 main parts and two side covers.  Heres another pic.

Think he also does one with a carbon blade so it would make spraying even easier! I contacted him a while ago an he said the blade was real carbon, not just the same one with the cheap film streched over it. obviously a bit more expensive tho.

Nice car mate, that\'ll look really nice with the front on too. :cool

Finished!

Sorry I beat you to the lip MarkyB!, but managed to get hold of a damaged 99 spec bumper that I have repaired.  Feed one will be in the for sale section soon.  Some coilovers needed next I think.....

Lol thats ok, at least I can see what mine will look like soon. I got hold of a damaged 99 spec too so I\'m busy repairing that at the mo. I think those rims look good fella, really suit it. I would like to get that piece off you soon but my turbo\'s have been playing up so had to order a single kit off pip today, an I\'m going away tomorrow so looks like I\'m gonna be skint for a while yet.

Is that on stock springs? as it looks lower? Where did you get the 99 bumper lights from? they look great smoked.

I will hold on to the part of the lip I have for you mate.  Get in touch when you need it.  At the moment it is sitting on standard shocks and springs.  I know 18\'s would fill the arches better, but love the way it handles on 17\'s!  The lights are straight off ebay, the fitment and quality are superb and a fraction of the mazda price! Smoked works well on a black car I think.

Martin.
