Brochure worthy sparkles....

Was waxing my 8 and the sun came out just as I'd finished the one side, ran in and got the camera, as the sparkles in the metallic paint were stuning. Didn't realise until I downloaded the pics just how good they looked.

So here's a couple of shots for Mazda to use in their next brochure! :D :D

Yeah they pop up every 5th spray of the windscreen washers when the lights are on, or if you double pull on the stick.

They are a requirement by european law on any new cars fitted with xenon headlamps.

A pain in the **** actually, they spray the lights and then all the water and detergent runs up and over the fender! Leaves lots of steaky lines over the top

When I get the INGs front bumper installed will be losing them
