In Japan they're pretty cheap...I think I paid $230 for it years ago when I was travelling there. Your best bet would probably be a parts importer like www.jdmyard.com Garage Vary is a pretty big brand so they're not difficult to track down.

Yeah, go to www.carshop-nagano.co.jp It's in East Tokyo at Edogawa. Much cheaper than the big chains like Super Autobacs.

Ask for Kato (he's the only one who speaks English) and say you're a friend of Rod and Kevin from Australia, we're good customers there :)

Nagano is good for big-branded stuff, but they can source Garage Vary, Mazdaspeed and Autoexe too, so you can get Mazda-only branded stuff there.

But If you want something more rare-groove, this place caters only for MX5:

They're in Saitama, but not too far from Tokyo. They have a huge range of MX5 stuff, but they don't give much of a discount though.

^ my mazda...think thats a garage vary front bar and some sort of side skirts, and the rear bar is a fiberglass add on to the standard bumper to make it hand down lower.

fiber glass and drift and being excessivly low doesnt help the life of the body kits!

Nice ride rj, (LOVE the wheels)

That's one of my biggest concerns as well if I was to get a kit... I have some serious speed humps at my work place (you could mistake them for mini mountains)

The last thing Id want to do is crack front on a speed hump :|

Fuzzlet,

I think I found who makes those kits for the headlights.

http://roadster.pro.tok2.com/gadget.html

I have emailed them asking for contact details for Alpha International, will keep you posted.

The headlights are much nicer than the round ones in my book.

It looks \"reasonably\" priced at about 583 AUD (at today's fx rates), plus duties into Aus...

I have had no luck on finding the bodykit though...

Nice wheels rjr666, white te37's on a blue mx5 are the go...

And good work on the thread, Raymo. There is something in here for everyone (except for the people who don't like anything but factory) and it is a pain trying to find decent kits on the net.

Here's another pic of the Mazda Roadster Coupe. I want one! (But with different wheels! A bit too bling for me...)

Finally I have found where we can actually buy the bodykit from (re D1 style)!
