Morgan and Katie's SP20
2002 Mazda 323 Astina SP20
Purchased on the 25th June 2011 off private seller in Newcastle, NSW. Silver, manual, 158,***kms, well looked after. Previous owner had it for 7 years. Owner before that bought it brand new but he died shortly after. Spent most of the first 2 years of it's life under a sheet in a garage. Anyway, will keep track of anything I do to her in here. Some new pictures to kick us off Being a 9 year old car, there are a few imperfections around the exterior. Main one is some corroded paint where bat poop was left for too long Other is on the RHS rear quarter panel. Reversed into a trailer. Cheers Morgan |

Nothing too intense.
-Clear side indicators should arrive next week -I have chrome T10 globes to go with them to give the whole side a crisp look -Will take the chrome rear indicator globes out the Outback I'm selling and put them on the SP20 and buy some new ones for the front. Hate orange! -Silver or black calipers -Personal plates -20% window tinting That's about it for the moment... |

Pretty good list, just add 'slightly lower' to that and you're done.

Where are you getting the side indicators from?
Nice car, i have a SP20 myself! They have a fair bit of grunt for a little car! Good luck with the mods! |

Installed clear side indicators
Used chrome globes that flash orange so it doesn't give that fried egg look |

I've changed indicators on 5 cars now and both SP20s were the only ones that needed a cut and solder! Took about half an hr but it's all good
