Just put a deposit down on a Mk 1 3 MPS and pretty excited when I pick it up in a few weeks time. It completely won me over when I test drove it!

http://www.rivervalecars.com/mazda/used ... hback-1354This is the one, I cannot wait to drive it again, lets just say I haven't been sleeping much im that excited. Looking at everyones signatures it seems that there is no shortage in mods to be done. Are there many visual mods around, I was hoping to be able to just add the aero package but I cannot find anything out there. even flee bay seems to have nothing.

Picked it up yesterday and it is so much fun to drive. I'm hooked on boosting it!

The MKI is so stealthy. Looks a very clean example. Nice low mileage as well.

Here are some pictures, im just going to start with a very external mods tints, black badges, alloy respray, I have a 12 month warranty so I will wait for that to end before I start tinkering. Pics are after a little detail, just snow foamed, dragons breathe, 2BM then a bit of clay and wax, turned out pretty good and the paintwork shines nicely against the sun.   I have started by plasti dipping the badges on the back, i wanted to remove the mazda 3 part but i think it is bolted on, is that right?

Looks good. I think the Mazda part of the badge has holes in the tailgate the badge pushes through.
