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).
Attachment 225644 Attachment 225645 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 shit hot; Attachment 225646 Attachment 225647 |

Finally fitted the hoop spoiler on my UK evolve Phantom Blue. So right now, she is finishing visually; tints and the OEM kit. Here she is in her rare glory;

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. Attachment 197555 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! |

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; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps3211dcc6.jpg Attachment 224940 Attachment 224941 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! |

I would kill to get that interior... :suspect: I thought you had decided to swap out your mirrors?
You should check out forum member Kane. He has posted pics of his PB with full MS kit plenty of times ;) |

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. Attachment 224800 |

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 :sadwavey: |
very nice one of the cleanest on here! love enkei rp03 wheel & MS combo

Wow thanks! :)
