Where to source Bathurst decals?

I know this is probably a pipe dream and basically hopeless, but I thought I'd ask anyway. My car lost its Bathurst-X decal at some point in it's life, and I'm trying to go about re acquiring it. I don't have access to a jdm parts catalog, so I have zero idea if its even in there, let alone if it is NLA (which it likely is.) Anyone have any suggestions as to where I might begin my search?

Would have thought some place with a vinyl printer could do a pair, if you had some sort of sample? As much as I hate to say it, you could try FD specialist over here as I know he's done lots of stickers for these cars. The X wasn't available to import here, except if you lived in Japan for a year, therefore nil market locally to exploit, but there might be a slim chance?

I thought of a reproduction, but I'd have to secure an actual decent image to replicate, which I don't think I'd get out of a magazine or brochure, as I doubt those would digitize properly without artifacts. I'm hoping It's still available through Mazda Japan, because I can't imagine many people ordered those unless they had one, but then again, I could be entirely wrong on that, and probably am.

I found this -

https://shop.zengraphics.co.uk/mazda...oration-rotary

Just googling around.

Someone may be able to find the part number for the decal. Maybe email rhdjapan.com and see if they can find anything.

there is no badge in the catalog, which means it either doesn't have one, or there is a bulletin listing the special parts somewhere.

Good call Dale. The shop you linked has the Bathurst-R decal only it seems, but I emailed them about possibly reproducing the Bathurst-X one.

Getting left and right complicates matters. I know the R Bathurst one has been unavailable for something around 10+ years, going by past attempts to buy them by some locals. Short of finding something on yahoo or repros, not going to be Mazda stock, v5 and 6 stuff is gone mostly. https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/.../ornament-2822

Yeah, I can't even find anything in the mazda parts catalog. It's not listed anywhere. Unless I'm just looking very poorly. I will probably have to have some made up, but like I mentioned, finding a good quality image that's true to size is going to be difficult, as I don't have another Bathurst-X to compare to.
