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?

Yep 50mm 1.4 great lens. I think that and my 70-200 f/2.8 IS are my sharpest lenses

Colour coded SE rear skirt and NB side skirts. I've even managed to fit the mudflaps over the top of the rear skirt and these intergrate very well (although I'll have to take a pic later to show you)

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

I had the Mazda front air dam but preferred the cleaner lines of the standard front (plus the extra ground clearance) :roll:

sold the air dam to someone in Melb which helped pay for the LSD
