OEM Body Kit whats painting gonna cost?

Postby Amanda » Sun Dec 18, 2005 8:53 pm

Hi there... I am seriously considering buying the front & rear SE style spoilers and rear bottom spoiler for my NB8B... I noticed that Preston Mazda do them all for $800 (when i join mx5 car club which I will do soon) unpainted... so whats the approx cost for painting and fitting?

I thought about getting the skirts but wasnt 100% convinced it needed them.

Aditional pics would be great.

Not bad...not bad at all :) The thought had crossed my mind about getting some of the little SE mud flaps for mine.

Done anything to the front :?:

Getting back on topic (just a little) i'd allow about $500 for painting and fitting :P

Hi Gilly!
While you are following this thread, can you please give me the details for the guys down Parramatta way (I think) who did the clear protective finish you have on the nose cone etc instead of using a car bra option?
Regards,

Sean MacC

Thanks Adam, I could not remember the details which you gave me previously and was just a bit off track with the location as well - a sign of old age :shock:
