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.

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

All the back badges are now black gave up trying to make the mazda M Red couldnt get the paint the same colour as the SP.



Then i found this with one of the subs.. so that is now GOOOONE !!! saving up to buy 2x new clarion subs.. sigh



Just now when i was checking oil, water and radiator fluid found my front engine mount is busted.. lucky i have the new front inserts at home *woohooo*

About to sand back and paint the front mazda M on the grill black :-)

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
