Thought I'd do a quick update on the car since purchasing, done a few small jobs:

-Replaced rear Batman emblems for OEM and fronts on order
-Re painted worn Gear knob and speedo surrounds
-A bit of fake carbon bling on steering wheel and Mazda Sport emblem lol
-3m polished the slightly yellowing headlights
-Replaced rear boot struts
-Re coloured the drivers side bolster and fitted nearside rear seat base as existing one had a cigarette burn
-20mm spacers to install to replace 25mmF and 30mmR existing ones
-Aux bluetooth adapter for streaming music
-Cataclean through exhaust system
-3 Dings in bodywork professionally pulled out
-Clutch pedal bitting point raised as it was too low
-Superb new private plate still to fit πŸ˜‰
-Had stone chip in windscreen repaired today

Missing boot left side Mazda badge replaced with something different, plus it covers those silicone filled holes left behind. New private plate also fitted with "R3" and almost "ROTARY" all in one plate lol. Batman emblem replaced with OEM Mazda and a couldn't help my emblem fetish for the front wings! Was thinking of placing it on roof side qtr panel like the Spirit R / Datsun 280z, but instead decided on a more usual Msport /RX8 40th Anniversary position on front wing.
