Top... likin the alloys :wink:

Until the exhaust completely goes, I don't intend to do any major surgery to it yet.
May try a slight cosmetic change by sliding over a 'bolt-on' exhaust tip.

Anybody else actually tried one or do they just look shit?

**Posted:** Sat Jun 04, 2005 3:48 pm

OH YES..LOVE THE RIMS!!!!
BUT YOU NEEDS SOME TYRE DRESSING TO REALLY SET THEM OFF!!
NICE! :P

Ah, cheers for that Julie, Yes it does look okay. May try that soon.

Tyre dressing is that just tyre paint? #-o

**Posted:** Sun Jun 05, 2005 3:34 pm

NO!!! tyre paint is pooo
tyre dressing or rubber cleaner. it give your tyres a nice 'shine' to them

**Posted:** Sun Jun 05, 2005 5:18 pm

Rims are exelent, But that exaust.Dooo something

P.S. Mazda default exausts sucks.

When painting my exhaust last weekend I noticed that the sleek, chrome plated tail pipe is a press fit on my exhaust. All the Boxes had a big 'M' presed on to them. Would this be a genuine Mazda exhaust?

As fot the exhaust phoniex, yep chrome pipe will look better.

**Posted:** Sun Jun 05, 2005 7:49 pm

Okay I can take a hint, the exhaust will have to be cosmetically enhanced! :oops:

**Posted:** Sun Jun 05, 2005 11:54 pm

nice ride fella

Looks smart mate i like the dark blue ones. Just wondered what size of alloys is that, cos i've just stuck my 17s on and the look tiny nearly wished i'd went for 18s. It'll be getting lowered soon though, so it'll not be so bad!!! :wink:

**Posted:** Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:40 pm

Well that explains it then, lowering makes a biiig difference

**Posted:** Mon Jun 06, 2005 8:44 pm

The Alloys are 17" they were bought off Ebay for bargain price of £160.00, it took a while to actually find a good looking set. And my personal preference of 5 spoke.

I think that sometimes the style of alloy can look bigger than it really is.
(I know what I mean)

Slipped a Stainless tip on Exhaust. Nothing too flash.

Also now have two red rear lenses. Thanks to habs007 for that.

Reversing lights are now 2 little white LED's. Hope these pass at MOT time.

Looking good ! That stainless exhaust tip deff. makes a huge improvement !!

And I do follow you with the Alloy sizes - the design can make quite a difference to the apparent size - I like to think my 15" rims look bigger than most other 15" rims ...

**Posted:** Wed Aug 10, 2005 8:57 pm

exhaust ready to be seen.

**Posted:** Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:42 pm

rides lookin excellent pal, where did you get that mesh from again? iv been to a few places lookin for it but i cant find it anywhere.

p.s if you do fail mot on the revers light an im not too busy il swap with you for long enough to take your re-test.

**Posted:** Wed Aug 10, 2005 11:23 pm

Thanks for the offer Habs, may hold you to that. MOT is a while off anyway.

The mesh I made at work, I use alot of sheet stainless steel and was fortunate enough to use works machine to punch and cut to shape.

The mesh which they sell at motor shops (inc Halfords) is quite thin and is pretty easy to cut. Happy hunting.

Been busy, added splitter ( thanks XLOGIC)
added some projector fog-lights.
