Got the Rx-3 home

I got my Rx-3 home from Lyon, France.
I am preparing it for body repair & repaint.
Anyone know a good place to get bumpers & small bits repaired & rechromed ?
Also interested in new bumpers, new headlamp surrounds, new trim pieces.
I am not dreaming, I know these will cost an arm and a leg...

Good bodyshop recommendations (Belgium or Holland) welcome too.

Congratulations! Have fun preparing the car!

Could take a while,
with only 1 arm & 1 leg...

I'm happy with the E2200d but it is pretty slow. Too slow for this kind of work. I thought the road from here to Lyon was flat after doing it lot's of time with the 626 but I have even needed 2nd gear on the highway :-/
We drove to the alpes with 4 friends, spent 2 days ski-ing and 2 days in the E. It could have gone worse

In Lyon, there is, eh, cheese, and wine, and sun, ladies with short skirts, and wine and sun and...

In Sweden, they only have that cold wet white substance on the roads...

This one is all original and it is pretty solid.
About 40000km original km's, still has plastic wrap on the interior panels and has been parked since 1981.
And I had seen it in person before I bought it

Yours was tempting but it came before I started to drive all over Europe to old Mazda's.
