Hi all! I'm a new 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 owner from Canada and I've been trying to get my hands on the 2010 MPS badges placed on the front grill and rear hatch of the Mazda 3 MPS. I understand the one on the front grill is a little smaller than the one on the rear hatch. Can anyone help me out as to where and how I can purchase these? Thank you in advance for any assistance!

We get the occasional person here looking for Mazdaspeed badges, maybe a swap with one of us would be your best bet =)
Wow... someone actually wanting the "MPS" badge, not the "Mazdaspeed" badge reverse.... I'm sure there's someone who'd want to do a swap with you. There's not even any on eBay over here that I could link you.
LOL, I know, it's funny how it works out that way. North American rides want Euro or Japanese parts and vice versa. It's all about trying to have something different.
Well I don't want to actually remove my Mazdaspeed badging. I just want to add the MPS badges. I can help out to get Mazdaspeed badges though, but I think it might be easier to buy them on eBay as I've seen them there. It sucks that there's no MPS badges on eBay.
welcome,
If no one has them second hand or can not get direct from Japan. You can contact a parts department of a Mazda dealer here in Aust. They will have them or can order in.
eg
Ringwood Mazda | Spare Parts & Accessories
Cost is the issue. I think it would be between $80 - $100 AUS per badge plus postage.
Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll give that a try. I've actually tried emailing some dealers in the UK, but no response yet. I'm not sure that I want to pay $80 for the badges though. And is that a set, or just for one?Quote:

Thanks everyone for your assistance! However, it's unclear if these badges are the smaller ones located on the front grill, which seems to be the more elusive one right now. I've been given sources for the rear MPS badging which is great, so I know where to get that now. I'm just trying to confirm if some of these other ones are the badges for the front. Plus I'm only interested in the original chrome version.
Send them an email or give them a call. :)Quote:

Hi and welcome
if you are really that keen, someone might be nice and get them off a dealer for you :whistle:
wait a couple of days, if still no response, let us know, am sure we can work something out :)
I know it seems a little juvenile, but it's a little accent, that's all. I'm not going to lose sleep over this if I don't end up getting one this year. If someone were to actually grab the set for me, I'd be gratetful. I'm not expecting that though, nor am I asking someone to go out of their way like that. However, I'd use PayPal to pony up if that's the case.
*sigh* still can't find the front grill MPS badge! The dealerships in Australia aren't responding to me.
Try this...Quote:

I googled it, but only comes up in Russian sites!! Hope that helps.
The cheapest trackable postage from Australia (via www.auspost.com) is around $50.
I just found out that one of my good friends old friend is currently living there in Australia! I'm going to be asking him if he can drop into a dealership for me to grab those badges! We'll see how that goes.
Good luck :)
Here's my first pic, with my first mod on my car. I had replaced the OEM fog light bulbs with aftermarkets that match the HID.

Remember when I was asking for help with finding the MPS badge for my car? Well I finally received it, and since then added a few more mods. Thanks to everyone here for your help with suggestions to getting those badges . However, I have finally reached my goal for modifications for my 2010 Mazdaspeed3. It’s subtle and clean, which was my original intention. I should do more you say? Well future mods might include:
- R3 rims (if they somehow come across my way to be affordable)
- Rear motor mounts
- Big Brake Upgrade
- Matte black vinyl roof (on the fence with this because I like how clean the white roof still looks)
- In-dash multimedia unit
These are all future mods that I’d consider if the wallet can support it. But for now, I’m more than satisfied with the vehicle’s current status. The installers are all here from Canada.

Very nice...we're getting the white MS3 it seems in Aus. No doubt you will inspire many a modder!!
Wow. I never knew you guys didn't have the Crystal White Pearl coloured MPS there! I hope the car inspires people there. You guys were a friendly bunch when I needed help.Quote:

You're very handy with a camera. What are you using for those nice graphics?
I like your rear vinyl wrap done in black. I've done it also, but in greay, similar to the new coat of paint on your wheels.
Are you asking what program am I using? If so, Adobe Photoshop. There was much post-production work done to the pics to obtain the effects.Quote:

White/Black/Silver cars, such great canvases for stylized modding. Red...hmmm, have to work a bit harder to make it tasteful.
Keep up the good work.
Just posting another pic with the red tints on the tail lights. The guys here at ReStyleIt.ca are great to work with!
