RED3VIL - '05 Mazda3 SP23 ...NEW RIMS

( Dunno if i got this in the correct section .. )

All the way from Australia - W.A

2005 Mazda 3 SP23 bought from new, took me 5 years to pay off then it got stuck in a hail storm

Been through a few different phases, and have learnt that you can't please everyone

( hail damage )

( The decal/graphic phase )

( The neon phase - still got these, just dont use them as much )

( Two tone with double pinstripe - As it stands at the moment )
With new bodykit, minus aftermarket front bar becuase of the terrible fitment and an issue with my coilovers

Still got lots to do:

Sort out the issue with the coilovers
New rims - poss 19's and black
Finish off pinstripe on the rear boot lip spoiler
Service and detail
Might look at getting the mesh changed to black as well

As mentioned by one of the Members in another thread " it needs moar low"
I would like to go lower, but i cant, its my daily and it needs to be some what practical
May look into getting airbag suspension later on down the track

Let us know what you think

looks a ton better in it's current phase......I know you can't pl,ease everyone, but some suggestions:
paint grills black
loose the bling, but for all that is holy no 19's....18's are plenty big on this car
tint over fogs

Overall, very nice, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the feedback
Still deciding on wheels, coz i want to travel some more, budget only goes so far
As for bling, yeah it will probably be removed eventually

A little bit more work done:

Finally got round to getting photos of the rear lip spoiler after i had it redone to match:

And one with "cookie monster" aka [GEZZA W] in the background:

Had the car serviced today, with a different workshop, pretty happy with the cost and seems to know what they are doing

New photos with paintjob:

One thing down another thing to go, then i want to decide what im gonna do with the front mesh
Will probably leave lower mesh off and paint the top one ...

Just a quick photo, its been a hectic day
2 trips to oconnor and back - im buggered
Glad that they are finally here, the workshop was pretty good with the fitment and now the car doesnt veer off due toa bad alignment problem i had before

The workshop got lazy and didnt remove the stick off the tyre

Nice! That rear bumper doesn't look bad to me at all. I'd get rid of those mesh grilles though, it doesn't tie in with the car. Or maybe paint it black like you suggested?

 

[RED3VIL]

Back again
New photos with my crappy camera, need to get an slr

Mesh blacked out, 19's and black
Still needs a service and detail
Coilovers all fixed

Exterior is nearly finished, still trying to source locally an aftermarket front bar that i like .. im in for a wait i think - no alot to choose from in Australia
