hi guys,
Bought a new series 8...not a fan of the front bar and side skirts that came with it. Brand is called DRFT.
i'd either like stock fronts n skirts or cwest front bar n skirts..
if anyone knows where i can get them or point me in the right direction that'd be great.
if 2nd hand, blue would be preferred :P

cheers,

Stock side skirts were a dealer option. As such you can't even buy them new from Mazda any more. There isn't even a part number for them.


You can get a stock style front bar from bodyform in Sydney in fibreglass cheap enough. Much cheaper then genuine.

Only thing with the bodyform ones is they have the lip moulded in which i don't like, one hit on a gutter and its likely to crack. But for the price they are good.. aswell as the fact they have the stupid number plate extension removed from the bar so it looks alot better then the stock series 8 bars.

Stock S8 are ok if you get a custom five character plate.

Looks bogan otherwise, I reckon.

thanks for the advice guys

i saw that bodyform place from the group buy thread just before. ill check it out.
this is what my current front bar looks like...not a fan..
(and that massive wing =/ gotta get rid of it...)

i like those feed sideskirts as well but thinking i may be able to get away with keeping the skirts

That front bar is fairly close to stock. Only seems like the lower lip is different.

I will agree that rear spoiler and side skirts don't seem to suit the car.

More pics? That frontbar is alright, that sideskirt is alright too. The wing maybe a little over the top.
