Cruzer,


I think I can do that for you. If it is because you want to post it somewhere I'd at least like to know before you do. I really appreciate the nice comment on the car!


If you have an e-mail addy I'd rather send it to you there.

Thanks again
Jeremy D

Ok, but believe me it looks better with the licsence plate on. There is a backing plate molded into the bumper that the plate rests against.

That car is amazing. I love that paint on there. Love the plate too. Gives it that Mazda Pro Attitude. Good job

Jason Kilpa,

Thanks for the compliments on my car. The paint is factory Midnight Mica Blue in case you were wondering. As for the plates, I was lucky to get that one as there are mazda owners around here that took all other spellings. Funny, I don't see them around. Wish I did.


Makaveli,

Thanks to you also. I do in fact get ppl wondering what it is. They always ask "what dealer can I pick that up at?" or "what kind of BMW is that?" Kinda funny and nice at the same time.

Thanks guys I really do appreciate the compliments

Jeremy D

Keep on ZUUMN!

Thumbs up Awesome

One of the best looking proteges I've seen, but over 2k ??? that's a lot of money...good for you though !

Since this post is in regards to bodykits, does anyone know how much the P5 bodykit costs? I'm talking about the front/back bumpers and the side skirts. Could I buy it from a dealer?

You could buy it from protege5online.com but I don't knoe about shipping to south america will be. I don't think that dealers would carry something like that, mabee.

I'm going to ask the dealers around here, maybe I can order it trhough them.

I was also thinking about salvage yards (dunno if that's the correct name) like, do they sell the parts? could I just buy them and re-paint them?
I know it would be hard trying to find the front bumper since most crashes involve that part of the vehicle but from all the wrecked proteges I've seen posted here, the rear and sides are usually intact.

sport 20 kit

Hi there -

I'm new to this forum but wanted to say that is one of the nicest "modded" Proteges I've ever seen.

I'm not normally a fan of those "loud" mods (bold decal kits, oversized spoilers, windshield decals, etc) so trust me when I say that's one sharp car.

However, I do prefer the hatch my P5 has to offer over a sedan but hats off to you for the work, money, and effort put into it. And of course with me having Mica Blue on my P5, I can say you picked a classy colour, assuming it was a full paint job. I don't see Mica Blue sedans around here...

Cheers, Mark

Mark,

Thanks for the compliments.

I hate those big kits also. I figured I'd go with the clean hard to get factory parts. My car originally came in Mica Blue. It is a factory color. however you do not see too many. Even in the states. I knew thats was the color I wanted the minute i saw it.

I too like the P5's but they weren't out when I bought my car.

But thanks again

Jeremy

GrrrRrrrrRrrr! I tried all other spellings to atleast get that "zoom zoom" on my plate to no avail! DMV VA sucks!

By the way, are you coming to MAPP IV? Might roll with Mike D and meet folks from Fredericksburg if I'm down in C-Ville (UVA) that weekend.
