    talk to a mazda dealer, but im guessing a couple of thousand $
    also, this has been asked before and met with some backlash: http://www.ozmpsclub.com/forum/showthread.php?p=107261

    Mazda 3 MPS (2010-) Bonnet | eBay

    It is black and missing the plastic air flow director (which you don't need cause you don't have a TMIC, cause you don't have a turbo, cause you don't have an MPS)

    Carbon fibre wrap it to your hearts content.

    Speed holes make the car go faster.

    The one on ebay is your best bet - dealership prices would be riduculous

    Do these even fit an SP25 though??

    Had a funny feeling the bonnet design/shape was different between the MPS and the SP25 (outside of the obvious aforementioned speed hole)

    I'd be doing some comparative measurements first......

    It'll look a bit like this Nissan Bluebird I saw yesterday, with a bonnet scoop.

    Out of curiosity one day i asked my mazda dealer about this. The whole front of the car is different, to get the bonnet to fit properly from an mps, you would have to buy a whole front section of the car, as although the MPS and other 3's look similar, the MPS is actually a little higher around the front, due to the scoop and the TMIC and other stuff under the hood. He told me that it would cost around $10,000 for mazda to do that. Basically, you are converting your non-turbo 3 into a mazda 3 mps front - without the good stuff under the hood. Dont do it, it will be ridicolous IMO. But ultimately its up to you

    I know you love your car, but it sounds a bit silly to me to spend those kind of dollars in purely a looks thing, and a bonnet at that.

    If you really want to slice up your bonnet, try something subtle like vents...



    Or



    Nothing wrong with venting some hot air, especially if you have an SRI.

    But personally, more fun with wheels and suspension, that's my pick!

    Agreed. Whats the point making it "look" like an MPS when for that same price u can trade ur sp25 and just get an MPS? It just sounds like the traditional lancer - looking like an evo type situation.. Id say just modify the handling and looks. If u really want stick a MPS wing on the back? I've seen 2 cars around with that both sp25 and it looks ok.
