If this car was priced at £14k then i'm not surprised it stood for six months...but stood in that showroom all that time = less miles on the clock, so not such a bad thing! Also there are no signs of a scratch near the parking sensor...so someone has done a good job removing that  And as for the stone chips...well i'm on the motorway everyday to and from work....so they only gonna get worse

Yeah im very happy with it mate. I had a civic type R for 5 years before this...so wanted something else with similar or more power, and the MPS was the obvious choice...though I did look at a couple of ST's. There is a main Mazda dealer in Northampton that I saw a few at (via their webpage) and they were all well over priced.
Just fighting the temptation now to get it re-mapped!!

do a cobb ap, cp-e downpipe, JBR intake kit and run 50.50 protune on e85 and you will be golden.
You will need new tyres before you get to work do

Hi Dean &  to the   I see you bought my old car LC60 OTD then as the Honda Dealer took it off my hands back in September 2012 before taking delivery of my New Jazz Hybrid I took my car on the Track a few times which is why there were a lot of stone chips on the front of the car  Had a few extras fitted - The Chrome Handbrake Cover,Blue Bulb Foot Lighting,Black Tints & that nice MPS Badge on the Dashboard  Hope you are enjoying the car & the mileage when it left me was under 20k
