Thanks! Front splitter is the OE Mazda 99-spec (same as the bumper).

No problem. In even better news, she's now road-legal again! biggrin She's also had a quick polish and frankly I can't wait to drive her home, crack open a beer and just sit and look at her.

Good times!

I just noticed that it has Ab-Flug mirrors. They're a lot nicer than most aftermarket FD mirrors. And definitely a lot more subtle than most Ab-Flug products hehe

Is that what they are? To be honest I always thought they were East-Bear, but they came on the car from Japan so I've never actually known!

They could be. There were a lot of very similar styles back when... Amemiya, Border, R-Magic. I'm going with Ab-Flug but then I've no reputation to lose whistle

This is probably the time to admit that I actually prefer the OE mirrors!

Can't go wrong with original Mazda spaniels' ears biggrin They do tend to do a lot of damage to the door when they break though

Gave her a quick wash and took some photos around the corner. Happy to say she's bedding-in fine - sounds amazing!









Still need to clean some bits up and sort a few snags. Then I'll throw some fuel in her and get some proper photos! biggrin

Damn that looks good, not sure now how I bought my GT86 over one of these.

I would imagine the £10k plus difference...

I'd love a GT86 as a daily to be honest, I love the interior!

Couple more pics:





Also had a little play around in Photoshop to see whether I prefer the look without the front plate. I actually like both...

One of the best designs ever. Still looking amazing 14 years later. Its a shame what they did with the RX-8.
