Titanium with side fins ?
Anyone got any piccies of the titanium with the 'fin trims' from the vent behind front wheel arch ?
(does that make sense to anyone ? - realize it sounds odd).
That and the starter button are the only accessories I am considering so a piccy would be great !

The Geneva pictures show the fin trims on a tit grey and look fantastic.
I agree withg your extras, the only additions would be larger exhaust and maybe some tinting.

Nice one - yep , sold.
How much is reasonable for those accessories ?
I mean starter button is cool but really - how much is it worth ?
Ditto the fins - look good but I am not paying hundreds for them !
So - guesstimates please ladies and gents - how much should the accessories be ?
I reckon no more than £20 for the button + fitting (£50 total?)
No more than £20/fin for the side fins. (£100 fitted).
To be honest I would hope for lower....
Thoughts ?

Past experience has shown me (with Subaru's anyway) that accessories, particularly cosmetic ones are extortionate if you buy manufacturer parts.
Usually you can take what you think it is worth and at least double it!
I hope this is not the case with Mazda, as I fancy a few bits as well.
I assume within time thee will be other aftermarket companies that will produce similar accessories at less cost.
I could be way off (I hope) but guess the starter button will be £100-£200 fitted, and the fins around £100 bearing in mind the cost of labour.

MarkW may well be right. The started button about £150 fixed and fitted and same for 4 fins (which are a must almost irrespective of price).
They may be cheaper elsewhere in time but may not be fitted when you want car delivery and not covered under warranty.

I agree, all will be double what you think.
I personally like the chrome around the exhaust pipe housing on the X-Men car. Seems to make the rear look more special.
Fins look better on black car as they show up the vents. The red doesn't really need them in my opinion.

Fins look great on tit grey as they further enhance the curves as the picture shows.
Agree, would add nothing to red, nothing a respray would not cure. Oilman, changing your mind?
