Cars looking nice man.
I'm just about to order myself some lamin x gunsmoke dark tint just for my fog lights. Looks like u went with the 'tint' shade.
Also about to do all my rear badges black too... Except changing the '323astina' badge with the US sport 20 one.
The red Mazda logo should look good tho. Will have to see it done tho.

Ah nice mate, I was going to ask the same question... I was wondering what colour the fog light film is. I too just ordered some gun smoke ones as well... lol

Looking good though and nice work with the brakes! :)

The red Sport 20 badge is off the JDM Familia and the US Astina is called a Protege5

Thanks guys :-)

been driving the car like a granny for the last 24 hours for the bedding in process had to use them in an emergency this morning.. OMFG what a difference !! and still have to do the rears *evil smile*

yeah went the 'tint' lamin-x.. thought the gunsmoke on a black car maybe abit to dark.. painting the mazda badge as we speak *cough* at work *cough*.. so should be on the car probably tommorrow.. photos will be uploaded and also pics from last nights meet

Thougt they came on the us and the jap ones. Only because all the ones from the states I see have that badge on :p

Wanna send me your wiper motor & mazda 6 wiper? :D

Already have dibs haha. You can have the motor though :p

Post up pics matt!

Marc - sorry dude Bens already got dibs but i'll look at the wiper 2night it may have a model number or sumthing on it. Rupe did mention it came of a subaru and one point so never know. Why do you need the rear wiper motor? did yours die?

Ben - been abit slack trying to find a box to fit it. Works been abit hectic atm. Pics will be loaded up 2night of the car being clean and rear wiper removal.

Nah I went to do the mazda 6 wiper mod a couple years ago, but they sent me a mazda 3 wiper, so when I have gone to take it off, I sheared the nut off the wiper motor :o

Haha good work marc!

When ever your ready Matt. No rush, it's only a cosmetic thing.
