Side body mouldings????
Side body mouldings????
I live in New Zealand and have a UK spec..... Do any of you guys know if the side plastic body mouldings are still available over there? In particular I need the left and right hand side pieces that are furtherest to the front.

US spec...... quite a few owners in the UK have stripped them off to go for a cleaner look and usually throw them away... someone might have some knocking about though.Threesevens wrote:I have seen some on Ebay USA but they are pricey

Hi Jason
I recognised the name from AusRotary.com but also your series 3 that was featured in Fast Fours about 15 years ago. That car inspired for me so many years. Such an amazing engine bay. You should share some pics here.
UK spec series 3 didn't have the indicator in the very front moulding - they have round FC style indicators near the RX7 badge on the guard. Both US and Australian series 3 did have an indicator there. HOWEVER, series 2 in Australia and the US didn't have the indicator and are identical to series 3 UK ones.
You can still buy these individual pieces brand new from Mazda but they are very expensive. For second hand, just look in Australia. Series 2 without indicators, series 3 with.
There's currently a complete body moulding set being advertised on Gumtree AU but they are series 3 (and therefore have the indicator in them): https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/noosa-h ... 1144161474
There's also a few guys on AusRotary currently wrecking series 2s:

Glad to hear my old 7 gave you some inspiration KYPREO
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that the Aus spec series 2 didn't have the indicators
