Could you post some more pictures of the wing to other angles. I'd like to see the gap between the wing and the top of the hatch. It's holding with 4 bolts, right?

When my daughter was crazy about the movie ''Cars'', my red Protege became Lightning McQueen and our Stormy Blue 5 became Sally. At 3 y.o., she's able to point out other MZ5. She says, look dad, another Sally.

Merci Ben !

Yup, Protege5 16'' wheels wrapped with General Tire Altimax 205-55-16. This is the same size than my OEM set up in 16''. Fitting a 205 on a Protege wheel is OK but I wouldn't go wider. I bought those wheels for cheap and the paint was damaged so I gave them a second life. As per the tires...

Nice wheels. What kind are they?

Well, in Canada, they've been advertising the 5 since the launch in 2006. As far as I remember the orginal slogan was ''Your life has changed, no you'' and it was showing a young family (mother was hawt).

I'm looking to get a 3rd key but mainly to lock/unlock doors in winter time (ghetto style remote car starter). I was thinking to a cheap key but I found that on Ebay. Do you think that can work on my 08 MZ5...

Welcome in the 5 world!

Actually, the guy from rack-import sells an alternate product to the OEM Mazda Thule rack. It's cheaper and better looking for many people. They are bolting in the same mounting points on the roof than the Mazda rack.

16'' is definately the smallest size you can put on a M5 because of the brake caliper clearance. I'm running Protege5 alloy wheels for winter but a lot of folks get the 16'' steelies. Some people even go in 17'' but for winter its kind of waste of money. You better get better quality in 16...

This generation of Premancy got to be on the same wheelbase than the 3rd protege. The front end looks like a 2001+ protege and the hubcabs are like my 99.

Only 90.4 WHP ? My 99 Protege 1.8 does the same I think. We are couple of ponies on the way to the wheels.
