RX clean up

[HOSS]

not been too happy with the position of the number plate since i got it

but it must have been there a while,an has caused some damage while its been up there



so i decided it was time this week to move it an start to sort the front end out too

first off i removed the number plate an big ass bracket


then using sticky i decided where i wanted it


then it was onto the de-badging,rubbing down,filling an primer\'ing of the nose
an stripping off of the splitters black paint


which in its self brought up added extras (as always lol)

so now ive got some fixing of the splitter to do too




so for now at least its half way to tidy\'ed up lol




on a slightly differing note,i also gave the engine bay a clean
before



after




also cleaned my lovely mazdaspeed rotor oil dipstick


an also got myself a little E-bay treat too

an RX8 rotor gear knob


fits into your hand lovely,an threaded straight onto my quick-shift stick
shame it doesnt make it six speed though lol:3gears-rh

this big ass bracket you speak of - is it black , moulded like the bumper and the plate sits on the inside

if so - do you still have it ??

[TiddlesRX7]

Go get it Stu! Iknow you\'ve been after one for a while.

im not sure if the egi had thay style of plate holder though ??

Just need HOSS to let me know

Wish i had a 4 post lift in the back garden - would make life sooo much easier

[HOSS]

yes thats the one bud

curves around the bumper,an then the number plate sits inside a holder

an yes i still have it

it came on the car,so not sure if it was supposed to be an EGI one or not
