RX8 Engine Mounts - Your Opinion Please!!!

[Prototype]

My local Mazda dealer serviced my car last week. When I collected the car they said that my engine mounts needed replacing and they would do it under warranty but I would have to take the car back once they got authorization to carry out the work.

I had a look at the mounts myself and I can\'t see why these need changing!!
The car drives perfectly and there has been no vibration even at idle.

Am I missing something here? I\'ve had the work carried out today (See photos of old and new)

Car is 2 years old and has done 7,500 miles - 231 Model

Thanks Clive

My car is a 2007 and that Bulletin says cars produced before May 6, 2005 so wouldn\'t I already have the upgrade? They look the same to me

Would there have been any visual signs of failure?

I am worried about an early failure due to driving style
