yeah i think the parts originate from japan but the company is german, i dont know why other they would have the .de suffix? Yeah I know anime - I happen to love japanese stuff myself. oooo! exciting what have you bought?! consumption tax also went up on the 1st of April, I cant get to grips with using Buyee - could you simplify it for me? what did you also buy?
Sakura Car used to operate from Germany but Mr Ozaki (the owner) decided to return to Japan a few years ago and kept his busines running, but now from Japan. Andreas
I have purchased the following 4 x chrome globes that fit in the air vents 4 x chrome rings that fit around them 2 x chrome seat belt guides 2 x chrome bezels that fit around the side indicators 2 x inner sill guards with "Copen" on one when they arrive I will post the step by step guide and prices of each item, I could not believe how simple it was, now I can trawl the Japanese version of ebay for any new or rare parts, and will share this with fellow CW members
thanks Snowdrop - I look forward to the post - hope you dont get caught out by the customs tax people
i didnt see the bumper heat guard- you must have got the last one! did you manage to fit those door handles on?!
Jesse Streeter can source heat guard. And yes I managed to fit the inside door handles - they look great
i bet they do - i have ordered some chrome bits - and looking forward to shopping for me when I have some money - currently broker than Mr Broke on Broke Street. Sister's wedding in 1 weeks time - hoping I get an excuse to drive my copen!
Wow! Who's driving? You, Badger? I can just imagine d-in-law tucked into the passenger seat, amazing dress squeezed into the footwell and son riding in the boot!
No no!! Son will drive (he's young and slim!) and bride plus dress will squeeze into passenger seat. I will be taking piccies/ getting plastered
The postman brought me a chrome parcel of delight this morning! 24mm in length genuine mazda nuts, and they look fab. I got 20 nuts (used, not that you'd know) from eBay for £23. Here's some pics in case anyone else is considering them. They hardly stick out at all. Just got to get some better locking nuts now!
This is a reeally useful thread and I must say, Runners, that those wheel nuts look just the biz. I'm also looking to change Neville's discoloured originals, having recently got a new set of alloys. These ebay ones looked OK to me: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M12-x-1-5...a-/360744300376?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 However, the car selector things said that they weren't suitable for a Copen. The vendor said that they may well be but they are RADIAL SEATING (whatever that means! ). If anyone knows whether that's a go-er or a no-er I'd be really grateful. Thanks!
Hey Jules, You need the 60 degree tapered end for the copen. The guy I brought mine from has another set of the mazda ones on an auction: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Mazda-2-3-5-6-RX8-MX5-chrome-wheel-nuts-set-of-20-for-alloy-wheels-/261445476979 I think he may have a few to sell!
