Mazdaspeed W/Blue has arrived

I picked my car up yesterday. Finally the long wait is over and I get to enjoy the car. Luckily it was a sunny day so had some great fun. Just got to run the engine in,
thanks for all the comments on the car, here are some more pics as requested

PS - Any specific photos you want let me know and I will try and do

Anthony,

I would love to see some up close shots around the oil coolers (particularly the foglamps and mesh around them) and some well lit shots of the rear bumper. (a few angles!) That would be great man. Your car looks awesome!

Thanks!

Awesome pics man, congratulations. I was just wondering one thing. Does Mazdaspeed bodykits come prepainted to match?

Bought the car stock, got a couple of the options. Bought the kit from Japanparts.com, got the dealership to fit.
So picked up the car with kit already fitted.

its ok, the curb is not very steep so plenty of clearance.
Quite a bit of traffic goes down my road so wanted it off the road.

No problem, will take some as soon as I can get a chance.
One thing to remember is that the kit comes with one of the oil cooler vents blocked off. Not hard to change, just got unscrew the cover and remove, but if you leave it on, I hate to think what might happen.
Fog lamps is a custom fit, differs from the instructions. My bodyshop guy did it this way as it makes it look a lot cleaner and no cutting is involved.

Yes all pre-painted, apparantly done in the same place the cars are painted

Getting more looks than I thought possible :D :D
Best one so far, filling up with gas for the first time, watched a guy come out of the shop after paying. He was so busy looking at the car that he walked into the bonnet of his own car - LOL!!!! :D :D
He looked VERY embarrassed.

I've been to that area of the UK (Farnham) The roads are so damn tiny you have to drive on the curb. :D

Yes, some more pictures of your friend's car would be nice. Is your friend's car also an RX8?

No not stock, it is the sports exhaust option that Mazda offer. Pleased with the sound over stock, but don't think there is any hp gain

Will do when I see him next. His car is a Seat Leon Cupra R. Seat is owned by VW, so it shares the same chasis as a Golf. Quick car though, well over 200bhp with turbo, only down side is that it is front wheel drive
