2003 vs 2003.5 MS Protege

[leebanger]

I caught the silver one recently, has a different spoiler than the mp3/2003 ms protege. Are there any changes for the new.5 models?

Thanks,
Lee

no foglamps

For the first 2003.5s; they are offering Titanium and Yellow. The front has been changed, and of course, the loop rear wing. The wing, I could live with; but I don't like the new front cap. No fogs?! Why? It looks like an afterthought.

I think the shift knob now says MAZDASPEED on it, and someone mentioned they thought the wheels are a different shade for 2003.5. After that; the MAZDASPEED for 2003.5, is mechanically unchanged, from my understanding.

Also, from what I've seen in the pics, all of the interior that previously had "sparco" on it is now sporting the "MazdaSpeed" logo. I think that included the pedals too, not just the shift knob.

And yes, the rims are officially a bit darker.

Where did you "catch it"? Did you see one in person, or did you see a picture of one?

[t3ase]

I was curious about that one, too... He couldn't have seen one in person?!

I highly doubt that he saw it in person. Maybe when he meant silver he was referring to the Titainium colour and not that actual Silver that is suppose to come out even later.

leebanger - MAZDASPEED pedals, MAZDASPEED shiftknob, more oval shape exhuast tip, darker finish wheels, yellow stiching interior, different rear skirt, different spoiler (as mentioned), and different front lip. Other than that, everything is the same.
Same 'clunk' noise :D

i don't thing i would like my interior to say Mazdaspeed on the shift and pedals. i like the sparco thing better.
