Not yet: it's demountable, so it's a socket and a power outlet

Well, well, well! One for the dealer to answer, I think, as the Mazda site shows a badge there. Note also that little R3 sticker which was in the pack until they fitted it as I was collecting the car.

Moderator: please don't quote the previous post, it is just above and we don't need to read it again. Use the Quick Reply box instead.

grunts in muffled words of 4 letters.. hmmpf i didnt get any r3 sticker :(

so you didnt get a mazda logo? but have an r3 sticker?
whats the world coming to.. Ive purchased my own r3 lettering and placed it just above the rx8 logo.

also about to approach a gfx design company to place some outline scans blueprints of the r3 for the sides ;)

They left the sticker for the first owner to decide where to put it.

Some haven't put it on the boot as it ain't shiney like the rest of the badges so some have decided to put it above the glove box which is where the old badges that you could get for series 1 went. but totally different shape than the new ones.

Hope that makes sense :wink:

I test drove a black R3 and the paintwork was very nice looking indeed - I just cannot bring myself to buy a black car; it's hard enough keeping the grey (AKA beige) clean looking!

Hi Speedy36. Yep, your right, i did get her from JCT600 in Leeds, it was a demo car from Underwoods Mazda in Essex. Very nice car and loving it much better than the PZ i had before it. Im planning on taking her onto Oulton Park with Bro in law and his Megane beast in July. Hope it will be all fixed and running good by then though as having problems with it changing gears from 4th to 5th, it grinds abit but does go into gear and also the diff makes abit of noise when turning at low speed (could just need better oil in diff) Its under mazda warranty so going to phone local dealer this week to book her in for them to hopefully fix. Have you had any of these probs with your R3?
