Hi, was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction..
I wana purchase the full mazda speed kit ( Replica ), but dont want to end up with to many fitment problems, so if you know of somewhere selling good molds would be big help.

Also, should i purchase original Front bar to ensure it sits inline with bonnet? Or are the molds ok depending who you buy through?

All help aprreciated very muchly..

Carmate is the only one - don't think there is good fitting ... (not sure)

I suggest dig deep to get a genuine MazdaSpeed one from Japan. Much nicer

 

What is the difference between Jetspeed and Panther when they use the "bloody" same car in the photo

 

there's alot of mucking around with the replica kit, especially the front bar.
they all came from carmate's suppliers anyway, so might as will go straight to the source.
hope you are still getting the gen1 version from the original mould ;-)

 

Hmmm ok thanx for that..

I guess the difference with replicas, could be that one brand is made out of an original mazdaspeed kit, where as others could have been made from a mold of poor quality. But if your saying there all the same but jus sold by different companys then ok..
Think ill go Original front bar, and jus get the rest Replica, what u think?

EZZY- What do you mean by gen 1 kit? I never new they had brought out another version. Got any pics, from what you said im guessing its ugly?

 

in short... i meant gen1 as in first couple 100 of kits produced from that mould... after that, the mould will change shape etc.... so the fitment will be crap.....

 

Bruce makes spoilers for Alfa's and he chucks his moulds after 10 spoilers. I bet the aftermarket guys hammer them. Ezzy is right...get the genuine part as the other might cost the same in mods and fitting and fiddling as well as heartache....what colour do you have??

Nice to see another 8 in NT!!

 

Yeah ok, Genuine seems to have everyones vote.. Genuine it is..
Thanx for the help guys an girls.

05 Silver..

 

I've done genuine via Japanparts and I love it! The extra cost of buying and importing is offset by the (fantastic) factory paint job meaning you can bolt it all straight on when it arrives. If you need help/advice about buying and fitting I'm happy to oblige.

 

I can quote you to OZ by Sea and by Air for MAZDASPEED Parts

Here's the link to the MAZDASPEED Kit, and parts are available seperately

I would be interested to see how the colour match is on genuine parts....

I too have Sunlight silver and a desparate need for a rear wing....

 

Silver is easy.

One metallic colour .

My wife has Sunlight silver for his SP23.

 

We've supplied every Color, to UK, USA, Australasia, and have yet to have a complaint about fitment or Color match for any MAZDASPEED parts

PM me for a quote for the Rear Wing...

Hi Graham,

Thank you for sending me the math..
I was very impressed with the numbers. However the flame was put out when i found out howmuch import cost were going to be..

I ended up goin through a mate of mine in Brisbane Aus, who has containers goin back an forth, and has good contacts over there..

Thanx for all your help anyway...

I agree with that Kall, so far as it goes.

But sometimes the combination of a cheaper price for the parts themselves can make the US shipping cost worthwhile. For example, none of the Japanese parts places I looked at could get my MS springs and shocks landed cheaper than the deal I got from OnlineMazdaParts.com. That's why I went with them.

 

hi Yellow,

did u install the kit yourself and was it difficult?

thanks

 

Don't know who supplied you your information about import costs, but according to OZ Customs, Auto Parts, which are an 8701- 8708 Tariff number, have 10% import tax into Australia

From our experience, an average Clearance fee is AU$100 for an import entry; IF you decide to use a broker instead of making the declaration yourself

Exactly; we can supply a MAZDASPEED body Kit to an OZ Port for about AUS$400 Freight; and that takes 4-6 weeks

Thanks Graham. I'll remember that when considering any further parts required (none under consideration atm - I'm not in the market for bodykit bits).

 

No worries; we've exchanged a few PM's and emails in the past

Take care
