FB Nose piece

Hello everyone, I recently bought a rx7 for my 11 year old, plan is to work on it for the next 4 or 5 years until he gets a drivers licence,.

I have been a 240z, camaros, mopar guy for most of my life, have built a few custom bikes and cars over the years. I am new to Mazda rotary but find them pretty awesome,

the car is a 1982 gx with an auto trans with low miles 70 000 kilo,

We are currently doing the body work, no rust but a few dings and were thinking of doing a little custom work.

I been looking all over this site and google an option to get a more modern look in the front end, so far the one car I found is in Australia, I did email the guy but he hasent replied yet, wondering if anyone reconizes this nose on this car,

Mazda rx7 13b turbo extended port rotary powered 1984 custom drift s3 | Cars, Vans & Utes | Gumtree Australia Caboolture Area - Morayfield | 1111129080

You won't find that front bumper anywhere. There was a company in Australia called SelectMaz that might have made this but they don't sell body kits any longer. Ebay or Mariah Motor Sports are you best bet for new.

I doubt that company made these as we would see others online, this is the only fb with this front end if seen on the internet, I am certain its taken from another vehicle, could be stock or could be aftermarket, but not actually made for mazda fb,
