Very nice car.

Where did you get the 99 spec front bumper?

I guess it's a Petit bumper because there is no number plate support

Bumpie...he-he

Hi.

The bumper is self produced. It is polyurethane, and this is the first vehicle I have fitted it on. I will probably start selling the bumper in the near future.

The bumpermold was made off a genuine 99spec bumper and then modded to remove the licenseplate ++. It uses the stock lip underneat. Fitment is not as good as stock, but then again the price will not be 7000 Euro either(he-he). But in my opinion, I think it looks better than stock with the license plate "box" removed. I hate having a licenseplate in front ;-) (speedcams)

The bumper fit good if you mount it properly. You need to cut some for the lamps to clear the reinforcment bar.

Polyurethane is choosen, bechause I got sick of alle the crappy fiberglass kits who crack at the lightest impact, especially when cold. If the polyurethane is damaged, there is likely to be some other "issues" with the car too. Also, I think it looks more "genuine" Mazda, and I like that.

Ciao

Talking Europe tour...

Hi all.

If you see this FD in the next two weeks, just go over and say hi :-)

Marie, the FD and me are going to Denmark, Germany, Italy, France, etc for the next 2 weeks. A little Euro-tour. I hope the FD will keep itself together, he-he (my faith is strong!).

Have a nice easter.

Hi all.

We were in DK on Saturday. (VERY-)Quick transit too Frankfurt from Fredrikshavn. I will not be back until 2 weeks when the boat leaves back to Oslo/NO. (If you want to meet, drop me a PM, I give you my number).

CZ ? We are in Vienna right now. Great city (-drunk now), but the alps are tempting me and the FD, and I hope to go into Italy tomorrow. I have been getting "horny" at looking at the twisties on the map, and the elevations. I'll let you know how it turnes out...

*-Damn keyboard for being different. (-being drunk doesn't help either...he-he)

Talking Tour update....

Hi all.

I might go to Prague, but I think the return on this tour will be west Europe. But there will be other trips... (I love travelling).

The Alps was a blast. Drove from Graz to Cortina, end then to Garda. Small roads all the way. It was FUN.

Right now, we are in Sirmione, south in Gardalake. It is really nice here, and the FD love it too. You see alot of people twisting their necks...he-he.

Everything is "romantic".. So I will encourage you all to do this with your better half, and your RX. Its is great !

Have a great easter.

Ciao...

Btw : Photos are coming, but this hotel-computer refuse to give acess to my cam memory card.
