@ jabbed

Where did you get those scuff plates??

 

[Jabbed]

Ebay , 25 (GBP),inc free delivery!, ships from hongkong, Heres the USA link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-MAZDA-2-Aluminium-Door-Scuff-Sill-Plates-2007-11?item=230642089763&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7421506172016689344

The item took about 16 days to be delivered and they are quite good!,I only encountered a slight problem with the rear ones not sticking properly, but that was easily fixed with a tiny bit more double sided tape

@jonlep, is that a bonnet protector thingy?, looks awesome!.

@jonlep, is that a bonnet protector thingy?, looks awesome!.

yeah it looks nice but I'm gonna remove it. lol
as you can see in the pics we use a lot of sand on the roads during winter and having a protector for the hood is almost a must.
But the one that's on my car (it came with it when I bought it), leaves a space between the plastic protector and the hood wich it is impossible to give a good clean.
That's why I'm gonna remove it and install a 3M hood protector film, as I always do with my previous cars.

The Mazda 2 you have in europe is so much more hi-level (head lights, wheels, interior, etc) than the one we have here.
We can have here a Ford Fiesta pretty much full equip (lether seats, etc) kinda like you have but it's not the case for the Mazda 2...too bad.

Our M2 has got some new paint on the brake calipers (light blue) and a fresh black coat on the brake drums

Took a little trip to Ohio to grab some wheels <3 Haven't put them on yet, but it was a fun time! Bet someone will recognize the other car

Sorry I couldnt meet you guys in Toledo but bringing a 3 year old and a 6 year old would have taken the attention off anything that you would want to talk about ;-)

How was the bbq?

Is that the actual OEM projectors with clear reflector or a retrofit?

Retrofit with clear reflector

 

[UnZipHer15]

did you do the clear reflector when you had the headlights apart?

Jess said that when she did her retrofit she just took out the amber corner and the clear was right behind it. I checked it out on my own car and, yep, it's there hiding behind the amber! I'll get around to a retrofit soon enough - her retrofit was awesome and well done!

Oh that's no problem! I left my 5 year old at home that weekend because of that same fact! BBQ was AH-Mazing! I've never had anything like it!! According to their wall, they have a location in Chicago that I will definitely need to check out one of these days. Will you be attending the Gingerman Raceway event in May or Nelson track day?

 

[fam]

No ....but....Ill be at the autocross event at the toledo airport thats in the ohio section though (I'll autocross all season in the NWOR scca region).

What tires were on those wheels? I would hate to think it had some autox tires I could have bought from you if you werent going to use the old rubber ;-)

Wow, guess im gonna need to do that then. Did she black out the housings too?

She did paint the surrounds black and it looks great, don't you think?

They are Dunlop Direzzas... To tell you the truth, I've never heard of that tire but they look extremely aggressive and sticky. If those don't work how I'd like them to, I'll be ditching them for a set of Falken Fk452's like I have on my Taurus.

if they are the star specs they are a solid tire...but can get a little greasy when too hot.

jess your car looks really awesome now....just need some wheel spacers ;-)

Since my car is a Sport model, it didn't come with the fancy exhaust tip of the Touring models. I ended up purchasing the tail pipe finisher but I'm not sure how well I like it.

Also had a chance to finally park next to my mom, she purchased a 2011 Mazda3 back in December and ended up trading in her 2001 Mercury Sable. Funny that this thing is faster than the DOHC Sable and it's a 4 cylinder :\
