Hey guys the pics so far

Hope you enjoy

Before LED side lights

After LED side lights

Car or van....

black plastic is far too boring!!

old busted:

New hotness!!! Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 17"x7 35ET 4x100

Made my own centre caps from some cheap white ones off ebay, some Mazdaspeed stickers and the old team dynamic ones

Fresh rubber: 205/40/17

i think these new wheels fill the arches better width ways

few more shots:

i think im going to revisit the red stripes! the outer ones are Alloygators which are hard plastic rim protectors and the inner ones are reflective but i might whip them off and either put them on closer to the outside so its a single red stripe OR move them inwards so i have a positive white stripe inbetween the red stripes... think i like the sound of the second option to be honest!

Cheers
Nathan

We've a boring Mazda 2 1.4 diesel in Metropolitan Grey - still a great car though, handles really well :thumbleft:

Where did you get the rim protectors from?

Cheers for the link. I would never have concidered these, but your photos make them look great! I'm concidering them for mine to cover up the scuffs on the rims

Look's fantastic, Want a 2 myself er I mean for my mrs :lol:

. . . . You may have just convinced me er her :lol:

I like!! Wheels really set her off.

Spending some money on her again this year

on the cards is:
Custom rear anti roll bar
Custom axle spacers (rather than wheels spacers)
Rear disc conversion
braided brake hoses

Already bought:
EBC Green stuff pads
EBC GD grooved and dimpled discs
K&N panel filter about an extra 0.001BHP more!!!! :lol:

Corksport Adjustable shock absorbers
new wheels to replace 3 perfectly good wheels and one that has a crack

I think I probably prefer the old wheels but these will be eaiser to keep clean!

Nice Mazda 2 !

My gf just bought one this month !
What's your engine ? The 1.3L with 75 or 84hp, or the 1.5 ?

**Posted:** Mon Apr 08, 2013 3:11 pm

I like the look of the new wheels, they look quite similar to RX8 wheels.

**Posted:** Mon Apr 08, 2013 4:59 pm

I think I prefer your new ones to the old ones.

Oil changed completed last night

complete with a K&N oil filter

Looks very nice mate, those wheels really suit it

any plans to lower?

I love those alloy gators, great idea, I was quite surprised at nearly £60 for them though

Might be because im a tight @rse :lol:

**Posted:** Fri Apr 12, 2013 12:22 pm

which wheels do you think suit it because the multi spoke ones are going

oh yeah forgot that bit! its been lowered 30mm for around a year I think now, no pictures though

they are good but my wheels are still chipped underneath them.
They are definitely not as damaged as they would be without them!

**Posted:** Fri Apr 12, 2013 12:55 pm

I think the white multi spokes look the business

What's the reason for them going?

**Posted:** Fri Apr 12, 2013 1:03 pm

one has a small crack in that has previously been repaired so it will only crack again

I could have had pro race 1.2 which are the closest equivalent but these new 5 spoke will be easier to clean and its a new look

Do this to it... Do it Now

**Posted:** Fri Apr 12, 2013 7:07 pm

I wish! The guy that owned that has stripped all the parts off it and reverted back too standard!

it was on airbags!

**Posted:** Fri Apr 12, 2013 7:08 pm

So you bought all the parts off him right lol

**Posted:** Fri Apr 12, 2013 7:12 pm

Haha thought about it till I saw the price! :lol:
