If you search on google you can get them new - not cheap, £50+

You would have to search french sites - joint de lunette arriere (sorry, no accent grave on my keyboard).

You would be best finding someone breaking one.

I was thinking about getting a lexan r/s and bonding it, screen is only £45. Went glass in the end.

To be honnest its not much work from me as Ive been away alot so I left the filling/sanding prep work to colourtech whos painting it for me. I'm home monday to take a look before it gets sprayed on tuesday. hopefully it will be on the road in the next couple of weeks, Just need the exhuste and the interior sorting!

[Danny_HUFC]

Question, How many people have blended the bottom of the front wings into the side skirt below the doors? Im hoping to do it myself but not sure why mazda have left the gap?

[landmannnn]

Surely if you bond/blend the front wings to the sills then you can't take the front end off?

[Danny_HUFC]

yes but i mean in line with the front of the door shut at the bottom. it has a line that runs in in line with the door shut through the side skirt?

[garyh]

Close up pictures would help!

[Danny_HUFC]

im away at the min so no close up but the photo at tr top of this page shows it, follow the shut line down from the front of the door and you can see it follows on in the side skirt. is there a reason to leave this or blend in?

Hi Danny, if you blend this in you will not be able to unbolt and remover the front end section of the bodywork if you need to change the windscreen.

[Danny_HUFC]

ahh right, that will be fine for mine because i cut the front back and used the original black plastic trim under the windscreen and bonded to that so i can change the windscreen if needed! il blend it it in.

Also them headlight covers arived! the postman kindly posted the card through next door for them to collect them from the post office!

After a nice 2 weeks in Florida, I'l be home early hours Tuesday morning so hopefully picking my car up from paint 9am sharp! I'm only spending a week in lovely England before I head off again so hopefully enough time to make my exhaust, fit my badges, fit mesh, fit my alloys (if my spacers/hub adapters are done!) and a few other bits and bobs on the exterior. The interior will have to wait!

I'l get some pics uploaded tuesday (hopefully!)

[fatbloke]

[Danny_HUFC]
