Very Clean, Very Nice. It looks like you swiss get the headlight washers. The pictures also look like they are in the Selvio Pass. Must be one heck of a ride getting up there. What body kit is that? It looks like it has some extra lips compared to the states Mazdaspeed front.

Nice body kit!

That picture made me remember Lombard Street in San Francisco.

Beautiful car. What kind of rims are those? You don't have cruise control? Also, on the panel to the left of the steering wheel...where the Traction Control is, what is the little switch to the right of it?

the authentic MS kit has those lips too, they're just painted gunmetal from the factory, not body colored

Cool

@NVMYGT
The wheels are ACE, Daytona II 8,5x18"

In Europe, you can not order the RX8 with cruise control.

The three button on the left are:
"Handle the light" , "Traction control", "Airbag"

I have the same mirror on my car. I had a forum member in Switzerland order one for me. It's also eletric and heated and slight smaller than ours. It's going to run you about $750 (shipped and painted). I think it's a good alternative to the Mazdaspeed mirrors.

did the MS replica bumper come with the mounts for the washer bottles, or did you add that.

gyros and our central European brethren are some of the luckiest b******s on the planet. They get to drive their 8s on great roads, through great scenery, at significantly higher rates of speed than we can even dream about here in the U S of A. And on specific days or weekends, they can track their cars on legendary circuits like the Nurburgring Nordschliefe or the F1 circuit at Spa Francorchamps. Just crazy.

Of course, they have to pay attention all the time on those twisty mountain roads since the penalty for a moment's inattention is a loooong drop to the valley below. And filling the tank will leave you feeling light headed - not from the fumes either. And the 8s are pretty expensive there. But they get to enjoy their cars on a whole level above the rest of us, and get an idea of what the designers in Japan had in mind when they put pen to paper in the first place.

Have fun, gyros. You lucky s**t.

I have been wanting to get a set of the Mazda sport mirrors sold in Europe (p/n FE15-V3-600). Can anyone confirm if they are definitely heated? I have heard that they are not heated, just electric. Thanks.
