New car model, moving to the same platform as the next Focus and S40.

Totally new. The Protege as we know it will cease to exist.

Thumbs up

yeah....i agree w/you!!!!

I have no idea that i even wrote this last night. I was not even drinking last night. I think the MSP is a sharp car. I like the spoiler better on the 03' model and think the fog lights look good on the car. I have no idea how this got here......sorry for you MSP drivers.....wish I had one.

Hi there, I have my LX sedan with MP3 bodykit and front bumper conversion. My question is where can I get the large MP3/Mazdaspeed foglight? Dealer? Anywhere cheaper?

Thanks a million's million.

--------------------------------
Protege LX
MP3/Mazdaspeed front bumper conversion
MP3 bodykit
HID conversion at 8200K (silver & purple)
1996 GS-R spoiler (looks & fits perfect & cheap)
17" Konig Monsoon alloys
205/45/17 Kunmo Supra 712
No drop
No engine mod, but will consider replacing the 2.0L with 2.3L if it will fit.

The best place would probably be the dealer, they can get pretty much anything from any of the cars. It's all OEM genuine Mazda parts, but you pay for it. You could go with somthing aftermarket but it might not fit and won't be of the same quality.

Well, the Protege is dated. Time for a refresh. At least you and I have one!

Last night I saw a yellow mazdaspeed and man the wing is so fu**ing ugly, I felt like and the exhaust looks gay, it looks like one of those mufflers that you buy for 40 dollars from ebay. The wheels look awesome but I rather have a black one or an orange one.

Exactly why I started this thread, I feel the same way. How could Mazda do that to the MazdaSpeed Protege?!

Scraping the foglight idea would've been better if they put standard HID into the headlamp system.

You quoted his question but you didn't read the answer? And there are pics of the P5 replacement floating around on the board and elsewhere (try "Sportif" on the search).
