yeah thats postage for all 3 bars..This is what I received just before:

Quote:
That is just for the shipping of 3 bumpers.

Did you want a quote on 3 bumbers or 3 air dams?
.
I asked what was the difference was between and received this..

Quote:
The air dam is the MSP specific ground effects front air dam.

The bumper is what it attaches to.
Um what the? can some on elaborate for us?

SO

figure in 650+600=1250/3=$416US each = $508AUD each



A hell of a lot cheaper then I thought it'd be!

Man im such a douche bag, its not an actual bumper, but a lip added to the SP20/Protege5/Protege/Mazdaspeed Protege...

This pic explains it all...


And just received this email to confirm...

Quote:
It is one in the same.

The actual bumper is sold seperately

Hey Marc,

Because it is only an add-on lip and given the price, I think Im still going to pursue the Buddy Club 2 bodykit - just have to find some decent shipping :P

I will keep it in mind tho. Cheers.

I wouldnt trust carmate with a 10ft pole, best bet is to have it imported from a reputable US company then wait for 3mths & get nowhere...

Now you know its just a lip extension, do you prefer it to the AutoEXE/DGM ground effects front lip? You will lose your foggies with the MSP lip too.

Nah i dont have the SP20 bar.

I knew the the original item was a addon, wasnt sure if you could get the two as one piece now a days.

Might try tracking down a eurbuni lip and some blacked out SP20 lights.

Nope
They are a separate item that would need to be ordered as an extra.

Hey Marc,

Can you give a quick run-down of how you prepped your front strut bar for painting? Did you use the same methods for the plastic pieces such as the fuse-box cover?

Cheers.

just a quick rub down with some sandpaper, then i hit it with some prepsol to get all the excess grease & dirt off, sprayed on some undercoat followed by the colour. I then used a heatproof clear for the finish.

Here's a better writeup for ya darryl

1. gave the bar a scrub up with 800grit sandpaper, then 2000.
2. give the bar a wipe with prepsol to get the excess grease/dirt off.
3. hit the bar with a good couple coats of undercoat, 3 should be fine with 15mins between coats
4. spray on the colour, allowing 15mins between coats.
5. sprayed the bar with high-temp clear coat.

I used the wrinkle paint for both the strut bar & cam cover, and due to the bad weather, turned out crap. your best off doing this on a nice sunny day with little to no wind around...

Im going to be re-doing mine again in about a months time, but this time in a dark metallic grey & also putting the turtle cover on & respraying it, & putting a nice mazda wings badge on when I receive it

Cheers
Marc

Thanks Marc.

Will be getting on with this and about a dozen other little projects that have been accumulating

On another note, I have been talking to another supplier about the Mazdaspeed front lips and he says that Mazda USA dont supply them anymore

They can do sea freight shipping so I might see if we can get them cheaper by getting OnlineMazdaParts to deliver to the ship State-side or something

Yeah, still thinking about it :P
Got a few other projects in the mix though so might wait around to see what $$$ and time are like when you are ready to look into them again.

Cheers.
