Mazda 6 question on styling...

    I just bought a mazda 6 and have no pics taken yet but this one above looks the exact same as mine, same colour same alloys etc..

    Mine is 2004, 2ltr petrol, a/c, cruise etc... its pretty high spec which is why I bought it.

    I'm kinda in two minds whether to keep it for a year and sell it on as is or to do some minor modifications to it and keep it for maybe 2/3 years.

    kinda thing I was thinkin was
    1. A very slight body kit just to make it look a little more sporty nothing crazy though as I want to be able to go over speed bumps just as easily as I can now if thats possible
    2. Tint the windows not too dark though
    3. Lip Spoiler, not the bigger one you see on a lot of the Mazda6's
    4. Front grill, just want a mesh grill on it, no badge.

    I kinda like the alloys so dont think I'd change them but open to suggestions

    The main problem I have is I dont know where to even enquire about this stuff.
    I've searched online and cant find any place in Dublin/Ireland that does this and has a website with parts etc to get an idea of cost. That said I'm sure there most be loads considering the amount of modified cars in Ireland.

    Anyway any suggestions, or anyone who would know pricing or where to look etc would be great.

    Cheers.

    How about the MPS kit?

    sorry should have said its more the look of the car first maybe performance later. I know probably should be the other way round but thats the way I want to do it.

    Nope, I mean the bodykit the MPS gets.

    get you now sorry. Did a google image in it. Yeah its nice. Not too over the top but still sporty looking.

    Any idea how much somethin like that would cost to buy, paint and install etc..

    Best bet would be to go google, change it .co.uk then selct "only pages from the UK" and type in Mazda parts.

    I think Jennings Mazda will supply the parts, I have regularly bought engine parts for my 3 MPS from them. (the sales guy doesnt think Ireland customers have to pay VAT which is a winner!)

    MPS kit is expensive, expect to pay a lot (even in Sterling) for MPS, bonnet, front and rear bumpers. These are the only style differences from the rest of the range. (except the wheels)

    NOOOOOOO!!!!! FFS don't tart it up to look like something it's not.

    Check out http://takakaira.com/ and look up aero kits for the Atenza (Jap Mazda 6). There's a wide range of options.
