Yes they will. Exactly the same body with a body kit.

Don't forget to post some pics. The SE kit is hot. :twisted:

Nope, exactly the same. The only difference is the body kit.

Might have a little trouble fitting SE sideskirts though... it doesn't have any... :lol:

have a look at these photos of the Mania SP Clone at Eastern Creek on Sunday. Not sure what the kit is from but I love the contrast look!

I was at mania on saturday (after the dyno day), and its an SE kit apparently. Standard mania. They are going for the black with silver highlight color theme

O/T Wahey Melvin! It's Jonno, Jehmer's mate here. Was wondering if/when you would show up round these parts...

Yep - it's the standard SE kit straight from Mazda (and looks pretty good

).

I hate to shoot myself in the foot here but if you left me all those things in parts, they'd more than likely end up in my car. :mrgreen:

No guarentee you'd get your car back with a turbo either...

Cos they spent all the available development money on Garry's car! :lol:

Seriously though, the target market for the SP at the time of development wouldn't have cared less if there were plastic bits hanging off their car, so Mazda in their wisdom decided to spend the money elsewhere.

I prefer the stealth look of the SP. Everyone thinks it's a boring slow hair dressers car and dont want to steal it and I'm quite happy with them thinking that.
