Don't know why I haven't posted in this thread before. Had the car 4 years now, still have only ever seen a handful of others.

Long story short, back in January a local 'rotary specialist' went and killed the engine. had a compression test and it never started since. So I've finally saved up for a rebuild!. Heres some pics of the car without its engine and next to another UK rarity, a Copper Red evolve (400 made in Red, 100 in Phantom blue).
Anyway. I hate the PZ mirrors, the view is so little and to me they look too small. So i elected to buy some standard wing mirrors and got them sprayed phantom blue, the whole units including the black plastic. Looks **** hot;

Haven't checked up on this thread in quite a while!
Fernando, I'm jealous of your car. I love the PB with the "Shinka" (Evolv in Europe?) interior/ exterior! What did you do with the mirrors? I also really like the Copper Red next to yours. 2 beautiful cars right there...
These just arrived today.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but I just drove 5+ hours to pick these up, and I have to drive another 4+ hours back to work Hope to have these installed by next weekend, though!

They are sort of like a DTM mirror. And the interior isn't the Shinka! They have a full cream leather right? Evolve in the UK I believe is unique to us as its half leather cream with stone alcantra suede;
The Kuro over here (limited edition black) had the full Shinka cream leather interior. Look forward to see you putting the kit on a PB; Never seen a PB with the mazdaspeed style kit!

Ive got the mirrors, but Ive decided not to change. As little view as the PZ style give, It denotes the rarity of the model, its like taking away something from it. So ive got a pair of normal PB mirrors in my bedroom doing nothing!

Started my engine bay dress up. Had a custom airbrushed engine cover with Phantom blue on the outside with a replica of the evolve badge, matching cream on the inner V with white vents, silver renesis/mazda badge and a rotor around it.
Also had the battery and ecu cover done. Just need to do my airbox and the far left plastic.

Well I posted this yesterday, but I thought I'd also post here.
Unforunately, I'm very seriously considering selling my car. In 2012 it was involved in an accident, and I've lost a lot of interest in it. Not only that, but I also moved out into the country, and the dirt and gravel roads would only cause a lot of wear on my newly painted front bumper!
Here are a couple of photos I took of Roxy, prior to being stored for the long winter... Maybe by spring I'll reconsider. But for now, enjoy the pics

Front: 9" RPF1 with Potenza RE11 255/35R18
Rear: 10" RPF1 with Nitto NT01 275/35ZR18
The tires came with the wheels so I ran them out. The rears wore out pretty quick, only lasted a summer. The fronts are about done now.
