Nice but in doing so, you've made your car illegal, prepare to get pulled over by a bored traffic policeman.Metelyk wrote:Added a sexy pic of the wife to my number plate!!!

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Bought a new two tone grey/black gear gaitor for my sunlight silver rx the other day, and now personalised it with embroidered rx-8 and Mazda logos. Hopefully when I manage to install it the logos are still in view and not tucked inside too much! It's a first trial so if it doesn't look right I'll get another one and mark where the logos will look best! What do you guys think?

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Me too, wondering if the emblems are high enough up, as the gaiter sits down in the recess doesn't it? :s
Rich, if it works put me down for something like that?

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Fingers crossed it will be ok but if not will have to just get another and mark the best position for the logos! Really tempted to try now but can see me losing screws and breaking stuff in the dark!

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
No worries dan! Have been thinking of a few things that I can do if anyone wants anything like that personalised and embroidered. Not just mazda and rx8 logos....you can have anything you want......within reason!

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Lol, stick the map lights on, you'll see fine. Don't think the gaiter surround is held in by anything other than clips anyway is it?

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Well by dan pushing me into it, I've done my first mod! Doesn't look too bad to be honest! Ideally move the logos inwards by millimetres....not too much though as the further in to the centre is does go down a few centimetres but I'm happy with it as it was a tight squeeze to fit exactly into the slots n hooks to fit! Was a simple job really much easier than I thought! if anyone else wants something similar message me!

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Fitted a new Exide battery and sorted my rattling steering wheel (which was made worse by fitting Megan racing mounts) by following this guide:

The 8 is my first car and although these are simple enough jobs for most people I would not have attempted them without the help and advice of the fantastic members on here

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today?????
Added some graphics - my kids names. Maybe not something everyone would do but I liked the idea. Car is for keeps so when one of them gets it passed on to them the graphics are still appropriate.
Also put my club name on the bonnet.
