So BBS USA found me new centre caps. Gonna pick up two (one spare), plus some new logo caps. Black with gold lettering for forged wheels, plus maybe another full set.
My choices are red with gold lettering, carbon fibre with silver lettering, and polished stainless with brushed lettering. Decisions...



The last is probably the coolest and most valuable for resale IMO.



The ones that stay attached.
Too soon?



LOL U GUYYSSSEEEEE!!
I'm actually super excited, since he originally told me there was no way to get them without piecing them together from various caps (expensive), but he found 6 in a random box haha, which are supposedly the last compete caps that exist in North America. Definitely getting a couple...

Good work.



Buy all 6 and resell for profit? Last ones in america, price has got to go up.

GONE: Apparently too many cars to list in the signature....



2 poor![]()



It's an investment bro!



you do it then, Mr BMW moneybags



Man, my car costs less than your wheels.....



buy all and sell them in 50 years..

Either red with gold lettering or polished stainless with brushed lettering, is my vote. CF would be nice but imo, it's a little "boring" compared to the other choices. I absolutely love red with gold letter, but that's just me! lol
I was intrigued by your car when I saw your avatar, then finally came across your thread. Wonderful car! Absolutely love it and probably one of my favourite 3s. The ride height, stance, and wheel choice really do it for me. *thumbs up*
Meh



Thanks for the compliments man! I believe I told you already, but I LOVE Volvo wagons!! Especially turbo Volvo wagons
Fairly certain I'll pick up both of these caps:
I originally wanted to do my wheels in a Candy Teal with the Red/Gold logo caps, but I don't think the red would go well with my current colour. Also, I may be changing the wheels again this winter and red caps would definitely not go with the new scheme

Confirmed:
-new bumper coming, new front lip ideas being considered.
-turquoise wheels will be a memory come spring time.


nice, looking forward to seeing it!


Hints for new bumper and rims?
2007 MS3 - Cobb AP - Cobb TI - Cobb intake - 3" catless DP - stage1 tune - Autotech hpfp - RX8 rims - weathertech mats -



what happened to your bumper and lip?
2007 Mazda 3 Sport GT - Crystal White Pearl



thanks, me too
Well, in all likelihood the bumper will just be OEM. That's all you get haha
My dad backed into my bumper, put his trailer hitch through it. The lip is just trashed from pavement. It may be salvageable, but it'll take some work.



Ok so, I got a surprise acceptance to my first in-class semester for my apprenticeship. It was great as I wasn't expecting to go until September at the earliest, but financially I was not prepared to take two months off work. So all this cold weather is sent by God specifically for my benefit as I'm a bit behind on getting back into summer mode haha
The to-do list is as follows:
Change spark plugs (still on original plugs at 135k)
MT-90 transmission fluid
JBR PMM
JBR RMM
New DAMD lip
New front bumper
10mm spacers
Replace fender liners and splash shield
I was also planning on changing my wheel colour but another member just got his wheels redone in the colour I wanted so I'll probably just leave them as-is for the season.
Also getting four new tires. Can't decide whether to cheap out and get Falken 615k or REALLY cheap out and get Nexen n3000..



Where you gonna go purple :p?
