poll: keep R Magic or go 99 spec

[MaLicE]

ok quick poll...

do i keep my current front end which is a mega rare R Magic front, one of 2 or 3 in the uk and nearly 2k to bring in to the uk...

or do i swap for a genuine oem mazda 99 spec front????

i can't make my mind up,

 

[Gaz.]

Don't go 99 spec so I can have it.

 

[Philip.]

Can't help but think the OEM front end is a lot nicer.

But, rare front end ftw?

 

[Christopher]

99.

100%

 

[Ian_R]

If it wasn't for the number plate holder i'd say 99 Sepc, but that bulge just ruins it for me. Keep current one!

 

[Goodj]

I'm hardly an authority on these things, but I prefer the Mazda nose.

I'm sure there was a sweet MazdaSpeed version thouigh, and no doubt there'll be some Wings West creation that turns the front end into an F16, and that would be smart.

I don't really like the bumper set you're using now but, when all's said and done, it's an RX-7! It'll be a gorgeous machine even if the average CS forum-member went to town on it!

 

[mini_nick]

It would defo be the 99 Spec for me.

 

[JoeyD]

OEM bumper. 100%

 

[Turkish]

99, sell the R Magic and pocket the cash to spend elsewhere. On a couple of the US Honda sites some of the boys on there w**k themselves into a coma over some frankly hideous 20+ year old rims, yes they may be JDM and yes they are well made but when they look as bad as they do it counts for nothing in my book.

i was tempted to remove the plate holder but i think it looks weird...

i do like my r magic and now the car is sticker less.....

 

[n2x]

It might be my unprofessional eye but those wheels you got don´t suit it at all On the first picture the front bumper and everything looks uneven, why is that? I like the OEM better.

 

[MaLicE]

looks uneven?? might just be the light, its fine in person, plus it has taken a massive smack from a badger... also the wheels are looking odd because of the front tyres.

 

[Owen]

99 spec for me mate and agree about removing the plate holder, looks a bit weird without.

 

[Ian_R]

nah it dont look weird at all, makes the car look much better with the holder off! at the end of the day, your car your choice!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Current bumper looks guff, couldnt care how rare it is! Too F&F for me, 99 spec looks far better.

 

[StephenJ]

99 spec with no plate holder!

 

[_Tom]

99 looks much better.

 

[david hodson]

The fit on the rare front end looks cack , look at the panel gaps

 

[Jason_E]

Current bumper looks guff, couldnt care how rare it is! Too F&F for me, 99 spec looks far better.

99 spec with no plate holder!

What these guys said, only x100000

 

[Russ_16v]

Another vote for 99 spec here, especially as that front is worth so much, id be afraid of leaving it anywhere incase someone reverses into it lol.

plus 99 looks better imo

 

[Pete.M]

That 99 spec one looks sexual!

 

[172Ben]

mazda 99!

You want a poll?

 

[Chrisjk]

Go all out and get a full Amemiya kit.

 

[Rob]

Keep what you've got.

Thank god you removed the stickers! Go on a mad one?

 

[MaLicE]

Keep what you've got.

Thank god you removed the stickers! Go on a mad one?

was bored lol, friend of mine has a vinyl company... we were both bored... it happened lol

 

[ColinG]

99 all day long!!!

What kind of value is on that bad fitting rare front bumper? Can't be that much £££ surely??

 

[couzens]

get the porsche 911 lookalike front end? ameia or something? there cool! but OEM for me out of your choices

 

[kris-182]

Can't help but think the OEM front end is a lot nicer.

But, rare front end ftw?

+1

 

[Gaz.]

LOL, those RE:Amemiya Porsche conversions look guff.

 

[Rob]

was bored lol, friend of mine has a vinyl company... we were both bored... it happened lol

I knew this wasn't a thought out decision! LOL

You still never took me for that tunnel run...

 

[kpowell911]

Go 99 Spec.

Like most of this rare JDM cool expensive stuff. It doesnt actually look better than stock.

You need bigger wheels too, or at least a bigger profile tyre. And some spacers!

Looks in nice condition though! Black cars are a pain!

 

[MaLicE]

Wheels are spaced now and I'm getting some diff front tyres...

As for the bumper being bad fitting... I don't see it, when looking at the car it's a good fit! What looks wrong on the above pic is the bonnet and the headlight cover being bent and out of align.... The bumper is a perfect fit lol...

Rob I will take you on a tunnel run if I ever do one lol

 

[kpowell911]

Are they 16s or 17s Malice? I'm guessing the latter! Could even be 18s but they look decievingly small"

 

[JonnyK]

99 spec ftw, just because the other front is rare, doesn't mean it is good. The jap market always seems flooded with random rare or "special" stuff, such as spoon gearknobs and apexi grounding kits lol! I must not get the hype!

 

[ch!ppen]

I don't care if the first one's rare. It's gash compared to the second one lol. Defo change imo.

 

[MaLicE]

Are they 16s or 17s Malice? I'm guessing the latter! Could even be 18s but they look decievingly small"

17's the front rubber is a 40 profile and look gay bigger rubber is on the way

 

[Waitey]

I can't even put into words how much better the 99 spec bumper is!

 

[Ash87]

99 spec, sell the rare one on.

 

[Ian_182]

I agree go modern.I think it looks better.

 

[MaLicE]

looks like i might be going 99 spec bearing in mind to buy a 99spec bumper, splitter and lights you are looking near enough 1k to do anyway... hopefully providing the guy gets the splitter i will have a 99 spec in the next week or 2
