Great information - thanks

I'm actually thinking about the towbar. And I wanted a detachable one.

Yes it's for real.
I need to lug a lot of windsurfing equipment around and it aint going in the car - so a trailer may be the answer.
Detachable is very good - I dont want an ugly towbar around the whole time.

Thanks for making the effort to post these

I cant see a difference from the Sport Exhaust (1) to the normal one, wonder what it is.

...and why no starter button as Im sure that is one thing people would pay for

Also, it has been said many times, but the prices of this stuff is ridiculous, you could spend £1000 and only have a few bits of plastic and metal to show for it.

Also, whilst it might look nice, adding these sort of accessories adds zero value to the car when you come to sell it, as I have found out to my cost in the past.

i'm sure there must be someone sitting at Mazda HQ laughing his **** off, cause thay must be hangovers from some kind of april fools joke.

£70 for two aluminium rings??

£65 for a key without integral alarm remote??

oi mazda stop taking the pi##

(only the PDC and Bonnet structs are of any interest to me and we still don't have pricing for them)

I agree. Some of the stuff looks nice, but the prices are just plain insulting.

Those aluminium bezels can't cost them more than 50p to make. So 70 quid is a bit of a markup.

Same for most of this stuff.

7 Air outlet fins, polished aluminium - also available in brushed aluminium finish (£174.95)
:o

I bet thats just for the part, with fitting extra too!

I think you could make this a £30k car....

(sorry - repost , put in wrong thread ! )

Well - just because I like the sound of my own keyboard....

Agree - Price of accessories will stop me buying all but the essential outlet fins (which I am now settled on brushed finished for those who care).

I would have had quite a few bits had the prices been half what they are - but no more.
So Mazda - you have actually made less money by having those prices in the stratosphere - well , from this customer at least !

Actually , I think the accessory prices have annoyed me more than any of the other stuff to date.... Weird....

Morgan.

It has to be one of the most phallic looking towbars I've ever seen!

Thanks for posting the pics Chris - how come you've got a brochure already (did you pick it up at one of the events?)

Once again all I can say about the prices is shocking. I notice from that that anyone getting the red / black interior will be effectively getting at least £600 of accessories for free - probably more when we see the prices for those console lids and handbrake trim.

Your right about the towbar Andy!

You only get the steering wheel (£250) with the red/black interior though, if we want the gearknob, hadbrake and console lids we would have to pay for them as well

I've mailed them about Uk shipping , as a single customer.

I'm sure they'll bulk ship - but we'll likely get hit by 17.5% VAT and 3.5% import duty so add 22% on top + whatever charge for collecting that money by courier (Royal mail = £1.20, some couriers £10).

Works out about £130 or so + extra for shipping.

My sister and family live in the states, I couldget them to bring a suitcase full over Only problem is that they are not due over until the beginning of December

I'm sure if we bought one set we could get them copied by a fabricator for less than £100 a set.

If the Red/Black leather steering wheel is £250, does this mean if you order the Red/Black interior with a black steering wheel, Mazda will give you £250 refund ?
