[Francob]

More progress, front end coming together and now in primer.

[Super_Triple_L]

Looks mint! <insert panel gap envy>

 

[Francob]

Mock up of front end before paint and final assembly.

 

[Francob]

Popped over to the bodyshop last night to take the side steps.

Needs a little bit of rust repair on outer sill and then ready for paint. Hopefully be finished including the under sealing in 2-3 weeks.

 

[Francob]

Coming along nicely.

 

[Francob]

A few more

 

[Francob]

Doors and rear bumper on.

 

[Ceylon]

Looking good, cant beat fresh paint!

 

[Rmcyes]

Top marks to 5he body shop with those panel gaps. Such a bastard to get right.

 

[Francob]

Wings on, rear bumper sorted. He’s going to polish up the lights. Front bumper and tailgate will be sorted Monday.

Looks lovely. Must be a great feeling getting a quality respray.

I probably missed it in a previous post, is that the stock Mazda white?

It’s a genuine Seibon

 

[Efini-dan]

That looks absolutely amazing.

It’s a genuine Seibon

So its a copy from Seibon I like it a lot,, did it come with a rain tray or guttering system integrated?

To be honest I’ve not been around long enough with these cars to know what the original bonnet was and who made it? I just saw this and bought it.

The quality is very good and fitment is perfect.

Not sure about rain tray and guttering system. Don’t think so.

It's a scoot bonnet if I remember correctly., I'm sure one of the boffins will correct me if I'm wrong.

I always thought these were the best looking, not sure on function due to the front inlet aperture but still. Pretty cool, might get one and as you said the fitment is on point.
