I'll have a write up later as I'll be also doing a write up for a detailing forum (just cuz I love feedback/comments on how to improve and such

Hello! I have been a member here for about three years now so I thought it would be time for me to post a pic of my Mazda 5. The picture isn't that very good (taken with my Xperia X10 mobile phone through the kitchen window. I'm polishing the car at the moment and have only done the Hood yet. More pics will be posted when (and if) I'll be done with the polishing.

I like how that European Plate looks on the 08-10 front there. Love the Color

Nice man, love the look.

Winter mode! Black steelies + black car + tint = super stealth mode.

Are those headlight washers on your front bumper? If so, is there a separate switch, or do they come on with the windshield washers? I would really love to retrofit those to mine!

Some quickies off my phone...

Here's our 5 squeezed into its winter home...

And here it is hiding behind my 6 SportWagon:

Sweet 5 and 6.

 

[ccarmichael]

Yes, they are headlight washers. They pop up and spray the headlights when I spray the windscreen.

Very cool. I wish they had those here!

That looks really fantastic. I think I'd slam it only a tiny bit more and put 235/30's on there to try and protect the wheels a little more. Where'd you get the lip!?!?

Thanks for the comments. I was thinking about getting the Tein springs which lower it a little more but not right now, and my next set of tires will be 225/35 so I have a little more tire and the Speedometer will be right...right now its off like 1-2 mph. ( I've never heard of the size you talk about and the second number is the sidewall and the lower that number the lower the sidewall ) but thanks again...Oh BTW the lip I got on Ebay from Bayson R...I think it was like $90 shipped

If you're running a 215/35 a 235/30 would be the same size, just wider.

You have to go 2 sizes in width to maintain the same size sidewall. If you're looking to go up in size to 225 you're on the right track. I would even go 235/35. Stock size is a 205/50/17, right? 225/35 is right on at stock.

What tire size are you running now if you are thinking about 225/35. I just picked up some 19's today and the tires are 235/35R19. They are Lexion X503s 19x8 with 48 mm offset which are made by Rays. The rims need some TLC though over the winter months. Plan on stripping the clearcoat and polishing the lips.

I'm running 215/35 only because I was scared that the tires would rub and I have plenty of clearance ( My wheels are 19 x 8.5 48mm offset ) I would love to see how the 235/35 tires look on the 5...You got any pictures of them on?
