Hello, I'm new!

Hello everyone

Now I realise I am not technically 'one of you' because I'm not bit on heavy car modification but I would like to personalise my car a little. I drive a Mazda 6 and due to tattyness I have recently changed the handbrake lever and gearstick gator. Yes, even from here I can hear you laughing but am interesting in what else is out there. Can anyone point me in the direction of some websites that have Mazda 6 things? I have tried Googling but I can't make head nor tail of the stuff on the sites I found. It all seems to be for people who know what they are looking for. Well, except that one website. Why was she doing that kind of stuff with a horse?

Hope you can help me

Get some clear rear light clusters...

How about some Neons?

I don't know of any websites where you can get what you're looking for but:

Mazda 6 will be a tricky car to find stuff for, I think they're generally owned by lease companies or old people in this country, neither of whom like to modify their cars particularly.

Mazda dealers themselves might have an accessories or "motorsport" catalogue you can have a look at with various go faster gearknobs and padded steering wheel covers in it. IME many marques do.

Why not save up and buy some other car if you want to change the one you've got that much?

Aparrently we do, I don't recall ever seeing one but I might not know if I had, they look reasonably subtle. List price £24,000

Yep, we do. I like them. A couple of years time, they'll be available for sensible money... /rubs hands/

That's just my point, I don't want to change it too much. My interest was not in modification but in personalisation a level or two about the cheap crap from Halfords.

OK, what's the difference? (c:

Yes, and the 2.3 160 bhp models too - but save for some very minor differences they look very similar to the ordinary ones.

All sorts, absolutely all sorts.

Not really. If you want to personalise your car, you have two options. No, three. One is to buy generic stuff. Two is to buy Mazda stuff. Three is to make it yourself.

An overfinch rangie is personalised, a Luton Chav Frontera with Neons and leaf spring raiser blocks is modified.

Personalising can be subtle, and not show beyond what a real anorak might spot. Modifications are always meant to be in your face.

Nah I disagree, modifications are now always meant to be in your face.

Some people modify or customise their car for the benefit of others or to put it into a magazine. Others modify it to suit them better.

Car PC?

That was my thought after I saw Elder's reply. IIRC Elder is the man to speak to for links for CarPCs. Does the Mazda 6 have a single DIN or double DIN stereo hole?

Ronny too, he got as far as me and it looked prettier too. I must build another though.

modified isn't the word that first sprang to mind there.
