My girlfriend wrecked her white mx-3 a few weeks ago. She was smoking in the car :roll: , the sigarette fell, she panicked and drove the car into a very high curb. Result:

A week later we got a good deal on a mighty grey matellic one for only 850 euro's (that's very cheap for an mx-3 over here). The white GS just got lowered on -40mm springs and brand new KYB struts a week before :shock: We transferred all the good parts from the white to the grey one:

Btw, the noble green RS was sold in december:

It was way more expensive to fix then to just buy the other one and transfer all the good parts (the rear mudguards will go on the grey car too, they just need to be sprayed at the moment). We're trying to sell the white one in one piece.

If you want the e-spec skirts, just post a WTB on the Dutch forum (http://www.mazdamx-3.nl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) in the "kopen/verkopen" section. Most of us speak English. The skirts are very common and for sale often, I' m sure there will be someone willing to ship to the US/Canada. The rear mudguards are hard to find over here as well.

I was just reading another post about smoking and cranking in the morning :P. This color defiantly deserves a cold crank any time of the day :P... IMO way nicer than the white, but still sad to see another mx bite the bullet

@Mark: I still have those amber front signal lights I got from you, but Sylvia doesn't like amber signallights :roll: Women have no taste lol. I'm keeping them in case I ever buy another mx-3 myself though ;)

@Daninski: thx, we bought those with a white car in mind though. For now it's ok on the grey one, but we're looking into some 16x8's (Rota RB's if it's up to me).

orange looks newer for a longer time though 8) I put US spec front signal lenses on the 7.
Before (original, similar to Espec mx-3 front signals. Clear front lenses with an amber reflector inside):

with us-spec lenses:

Today new valvecover gaskets and exedy clutch kit came in for the GS. Once these are fitted, all the expensive things should be done for a while (fingers crossed).
