Hello everyone im 18, i own a white pre-facelift mazda 323f 1998 1.5, im from england and have found this forum on the "protege 5" as its called i believe, i want to lower and put sum nice alloys on my car sad thing is there is hardly any places that do any parts for my car in U.K, american ebay has tons of stuff but shipping's way too much i think the first mod will be a debadged grill, or paint the chrome part black which will be easier i guess, ive only got one flick atm but yeah thought i'd say hi and all the p5's look amazing on this forum!!

(hi)

Your car's styling looks similar to the 1998-1999 Protege, but I wouldn't know how well any of those parts will fit on your 323f...

If you are willing to risk finding small differences (and retrofitting them yourself), I'd start there. Just so you know, all of our Protege5's are based off of the 2001-2003 Protege, which had several styling updates over the 1998-1999... be warned..

and post some pics sometime...

If you can I think it would be cool it you marked you position on the map in my sig, or pm me your location and I'll do it..
