Smile R3 Facelift look for the old Pre Facelift

(posted this in the brilliant black 8 thread, but just wanted to share my conversion which was completed yesterday with the rest of the guys here)

Hi all,

just got my 8 two months back.
since the FLs are pretty expensive over here in Singapore,
i managed to source for a R3 bumper that fits the pre-facelift ones.
Got my mazdaspeed sideskirts as well.

Will post up new pics when my 6 pot endless goes in and a respray of my rims + spacers is done

some pictures

haah..

thanks all for the kind words,
i managed to "source" this kit from a neighbouring country of mine in malaysia.
website as follows
www.carboninmotion.com

Car was down at the local bodyshop for 5 days. only problem was the gaps in between the lenses (signal lights), hence some alterations, work had to be done. the rest of the kit actually fitted on quite well, saving me $$ on labor.

Hi 15boost - Glad to know that you're happy with the kit. Was browsing through the forum and noticed this interesting topic title, kinda sounded like something we did at carboninmotion and true enough. Thanks for the recommendation.

If anyone's interested to find out more about this kit, kindly visit link below:
