There's a nice looking Sunlight Silver P5 at the place I work. I always work before him, so I park the car alone in the lot.

Every night when I leave to go home, it's parked beside me

read it again sir

I said CF trim around the window switches. It is very ugly, much worse than the normal fake CF trim (because of the more complicated shape of the window switch trim), and it only came on Canadian Proteges.

I can find some but trust me it's ugly.. I'll go check quickly.

if you buy it I'll hurt you (the part isn't cheap!.. i.e. buy real cf and save money)

In Canada the 2003 P5 got blacked-out headlights, fake carbon fibre in a couple more places, and a leather steering wheel and shift ****. Foolproof way to tell: the 10th digit in the VIN is 2 for 2002 and 3 for 2003.
I know in the states the 02.5 brought the leather shift **** so I'm betting it would be the same for Canada.

Canadian 2002 model


Canadian 2003 model


I think tiptronic might have been a 2003.0 upgrade too.. but I don't care enough to know about the automatics (no offense to anyone)

No worries mate .. I won't buy it. Fake CF is t3h ghey!! I just wanted to see what it looked like cuz I've never heard/seen it before. My knowledge of Canadian P5's is not very up to date. Looks gross tho, I agree.

Ok, I found out who the owners of the 2 P5s that park with me are.

They both belong to 2 cute chicks that work in my department at work! One is Silver, and the other is Black Mica, oh and the girls are cute too

You have more P5's/MSP's in your office building parking lot than I have ever seen in my whole town.

Isn't the P5 one the same, or do you mean 2003.5 MSP?
