Bought my BJ in Jan 2007, to replace my BA that got written off by a lorry on a roundabout... Totally standard car, with lovely garnet red mica paintwork [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/P4270343.jpg[/img] [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/P4270360.jpg[/img] First on were some clear side repeaters and chrome indicators all round, and then a new rear light unit, so it had a clear rear fog lamp to match the reversing light. [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/DSCF1018.jpg[/img] I fitted a nice dvd head unit, and a pair of subwoofers, in the smallest box I could make that fitted nicely... [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/P4270351.jpg[/img] [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/P4270347.jpg[/img] Thanks to inspiration from errnee, I chose some mazda 6 sport 17" wheels [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/SP_A0332.jpg[/img] and then the voices in my head persuaded me to fit a DG motorsports front splitter [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/SP_A0391.jpg[/img] Under the bonnet, it's got an Injen cold air induction kit, some nice bonnet lifters, an injen oil cap, and of course the apex1r air divertor panel [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/DSCF1631.jpg[/img] I've played with the interior a bit, lost the shiny plastic in favour of soft touch matt black, which matches the speedo cowling better, and fitted a nice ali gearknob... [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/DSCF1682.jpg[/img] I also fitted some selectable blue leds, so it can switch from this [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/DSCF1695.jpg[/img] to this [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/DSCF1694.jpg[/img] So, there she is, pretty much. I guess there's other stuff that's gone on over the last year, mainly thanks to input from members of club323f. you are all stars ![]() [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/SP_A0454-1.jpg[/img] [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/Dscf1688.jpg[/img] [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/DSCF1687.jpg[/img] [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/Dscf1686.jpg[/img] |

thanks for all your comments guys! and to answer some of your questions... errnee - the colour coded grille will be first on, then maybe the rear bumper step protector thingy, but still not sure about that one yet, trying to find a coloured lacquer so it'll match the car, but still show the stainless steel... protege - nope, it's not lowered, but I bought the springs from Nick last year ...I'm not lazy, it's just it's sooo low at the front end with the splitter, I'm not sure I can get away with lowering it as well.
ronin - I do like the look of doug's with the blanking plates, but then I also like my fogs, I think they suit the look with the splitter - anyone want to photoshop and prove me wrong? And yes, I thought it was a perfect place for one of the stickers - I was going to put it on the strut brace, but then I bought the air diverter panel... |

No need for photoshop...the red car at the meet i went to in toronto had the lip and blanking plates....trust me...it looks even better in the flesh!

Painted the top part of my new grille (thanks Neil ) and painted the mazda badge metallic graphite, and managed to get a cr4ppy finish on it
but it looks good... (excuse the pics, only had my phone on me) [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/SP_A0511.jpg[/img] [img]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/marcrs323/SP_A0504.jpg[/img] next thing to sort out is the fog lights, not sure whether to keep them or not yet, want to do something a bit different, I'm sure I'll think of something

Looking good Marc, subtle but very effective grille mod, I liked mine like that too. [quote="marcrs"] next thing to sort out is the fog lights, not sure whether to keep them or not yet, want to do something a bit different, I'm sure I'll think of something [/quote]
Ditto that, my OS one is losing the reflective silver finish, its flaking off inside the light, but I don't know what to do with them. Don't really want to do the fog-delete mod, coz its been done but I can't think of what else to do..... I've been looking for a certain kind of fog/spot light, but I can't find them.
Could be another angel eyes project....

[quote="protege"]Or use rockblocker overlays for the fogs or yellow JDM Catz fogs? Must say I like it this way marc...no need to do anything[/quote] rockblocker overlay??? Is that the tint kit? If so, that may be my preferred option I'm going to tint the fogs black, so I get a similar look to the delete covers, whilst keeping the foggies - although I might need to order some more HIDs, to compensate for the reduction in light output
