In answer to AndyPearce, I picked up the brochure at the preview event in Bristol on the 7th July.

The prices shown on some of the items are the ones that they had in a display case at that event.

c170673, thanks for all the pics. Hmmm... tyre deflectors, we don't get these in the States, could be an interesting look. Anyone have a full profile shot with these in place?

Excellent pics - well done!

I hope I'm not about to make an *** out of myself but... what's the difference 'tween the tyre-deflectors and the mud-flaps?

i wondered myself for a while

i believe the tyre deflectors go in front of the wheel and the mud flaps behind

i assume you cant have the rear under deflector with the rear mud flaps

Hmmm... expense.
The bonnet gas struts are desirable as are the standard mats other than that forget it (maybe the passenger foot rest but based on the price of other aluminium objects that should be around Ŗ2500).

At the risk of sounding repetitive - thank you very much for all those photos.

I am very interested in the brushed strakes - but never at those prices. The basic mats look nice also.

The alu strakes are a must on the Titanium car. I show some pics to a mate of mine who works in a metal fabricating shop. He claims if he could get hold of some, he thinks they won't be difficult to replicate. I just need a quick trip to japan me thinks.
Same goes for the vent rings. He just needs the size, because he already makes something similar now.

Keep you posted if we get lucky

Anyone noticed that in the accessories brochure the car appears to have Mazdaspeed Mirrors, but that these mirrors are not available as an accessory in said brochure.

I like the look of them but they are bound to be expensive.

Does anyone know if we will be getting the courtesy illumination light in our mirrors, as if so I wouldnt change them anyway?

Cheers
Mark

I quizzed the Mazda Rep. about this on Saturday in Manchester, she thought I was on about the interior courtesy light until I showed her the ones under the mirrors.

One of the other reps came up at that point and said she had been asked the same question earlier, and after calling back to get more info. was fairly sure we were getting them in the UK, but that that wasn't a yes we are. They will try to get a more concrete answer in a few weeks time.

TG,

I presume you are talking about the lights, not the Mazdaspeed mirrors?

Cheers

I asked about the puddle lights on staurday morning and got a 'yes we are getting them' from one rep and a 'I didn't know they were' from another

Yes the 'puddle' lights.

I love those Mazda Speed mirrors as well, although have to see if they can pivot in like all standard mirrors do now, can't see how that would work.
They were about the same price as the strakes on the Japanese Mazda site, so hopfully someone will imort them so we can get hold of some.

Are those the 'puddle' lights which move as one opens the door and will not lighten any puddles under ones feet?

Or are they so bright the whole area is lit?

No. 34, the reversing aid. Are you able to put that in the front? I have a trouble gauging the distance from the front bumper to objects ahead.
