fading door handles

[RyanJayG]

any of you MP3 owners notice that the color of the door handles and mirrors is fading? Mine is, but Mazda has graciously decided to repaint them for me.

It seems to only be the plastic parts that were black on the regular proteges

just wondering.

yeah, thanks... but mine are DULL and faded... kinda different. it almost looks like the clearcoat was never applied, or it wore off, then started to rub the paint off.

mazda yellow never came with clear coat...

gotcha, i just remeber reading that thread and thought you could relate. That is cool that mazda is taking care of you.
