Don't worry nor hurry. I'm sure a good PDR guy can handle that in minutes, for a few hundred bills. Your location might help guys on here point you to an able 1. PNoy might frown on your casa plan....besides, the casa may not have somebody in-house, squall sir.

Thanks sir travs.
I'm in Pasig area. I hope makakita ako soon. I'll be waiting sa suggestion na repair shop ng iba. Safe naman yung repair ng ganun no? Like wala naman risk or wala naman ma vovoid sa warranty, right?

May nakita akong taga-Pasig na home service PDR sa OLX. Not sure kung andun pa ad nya. Marami namang car service shops sa Metrowalk area so you can bring your car there.

Mine has a chip on the hood and the driver's door. Pininturahan ko lang ng puti para di halata and for protection na rin.

Nice. Matagal ko na rin gusto ipa-LED ang interior para mas maliwanag. Did u also do the one between the front and rear passengers? How much was it? DIY ba or u had someone do it?

there are replacement LED strips in the malls. they come with adaptors so that they will fit into every light holder.
6 placer... 12 placer.. but my experience with them is, the LEDs conk out one by one.. after a while, you are left with half of what you started with.
but they are bright...

Actually this LED's came from one of my previous car. I took them out when i sold it. I was lucky kasi hindi ko akalain mag fit siya sa mz3. Heavy duty LED siya with circuit boards. Bought them for 2,500 set. 2yrs na siya ngayon ok pa rin siya. Regarding sa dome light naghahanap pa ako heavy duty LED na magfit. Dont buy cheap china LED, they wont last long and has poor light beam.



Medyo tabingi pagkakalagay ko sa left side, need ko siya iglue gun para di gumalaw.. hehe

Bumili ko yung Renx brand ba yun at Type S, madali mapundi mga LED na yan. Haven't found a HD LED dome light pa. Mas maganda talaga white color sa loob kesa yellow.

Bad news
I discovered a small dent sa hood ng M3 ko. I don't know kung saan nakuha yun. Wala siyang gasgas, pero obvious yung dent niya dahil makintab yung paint ng car.
Sabi ng friend ko, kaya gawan paraan sa casa yan, specially bago pa lang yung dent at malambot pa siya, wag lang daw papatagalin.
Sa Mazda daw, pwede ko gawan ng paraan na dumiretso dun sa mga ng service sa casa nila. Meaning hindi officially sabihin sa kay mazda. Kung baga parang under the table. Pumapayag daw minsan. Mas mura, at mas less hassle dahil mabilis lang daw yun at hindi na kailngan iwanan.

Guys, hingi sana ako ng advise sa inyo kung panu gagawin ko.
Thanks

Paintless dent repair is the way!

Go to the pdr guy near good year along Ortigas ave in front of medical city, go past good year and the buy and sell cars on the left to a road that connects to ortigas home depot property.

you will see a pdr tent shop on the left

You went past the pdr tent shop if you were stopped and given a parking ticket by a guard already. Make a U and go back a few meters and you will see it on your right.

Charging depends on how big the dent is, and if the dent is in between your hood's support brackets. If you are lucky that its not, then a few seconds it will be back to original. If the brackets are on the way, then they will remove that first.

Just went to the casa earlier to have my seat covers installed. Ang tagal kasi isang tao lang nagiinstall sa both Mazda Sta Rosa at Ford Sta Rosa. Anyway, I also ask the "warranty kuyas" what mods will void the warranty. Ayun sa kanila...

Horns
- Apparently, Europa silver will void the warranty but a snail type horn will not. Any suggestions for a good sounding snail type horn?

Lights
- Basta same watts daw or something like that, ok. But you can't put HID lamps.

Antenna
- pwede palitan ng sharks fin (for the 1.5 hatchback)

Dashcam
- Basta daw orig (at medyo mamahalin ahaha)

Rims
- Now this is what I didn't get. Ang pwede lang daw ay 16-17in rims. 18 matagtag na (I know!) at possible na mavoid ang warranty ng suspension. Mga boss, kindly enlighten me on this. Cause I really want to change my rims next year. 17" siguro. Ano ba yung ratio ratio something. Apologies, clueless noob here

Mukhang hindi naman nila sinita ang reverse cam ko. Ahahaha

See, told you there are countless helpful guys on here...Thanks, balong sir!

My buddy, among the best PDR guys I've seen, sucked out a pingpong ball sized 'fruit punch' from my roof w/o working from beneath; did not touch my headliner; never even opened the door. Just pure suction & slight of hand. There now is absolutely no trace of damage.

His skills got him & his family Aussie moving papers. We all miss the guy. Man, was I lucky he was home for vacation......
Depending on dent location & luck as balong said, bonnet frames may not need touching nor removal if the PDR guy has the hands, the feel, the proper PDR/suction tools & lighting equipment.
Best of luck, squall sir.

Don't lock horns w/ dealerships...As I've shared countless times....re mods, their ignorance is your bliss, rei sir.

For the horns, I'm actually looking at other alternatives for Europa silver. Parang ang dami na nga meron nito sa Manila. At medyo type ko yung parang stock ang tunog. Ano po ba ang stock horn ng M3? Fiamm po ba? Napanood ko ata Fiamm yung stock horns not very sure though. And you just have to add another Fiamm horn to make it sound acceptable. Ahahaha

[sparcom2]

Had my 1k pms checkup kanina at mazda pampanga. No mention sila sa bosch europa and LED map lights. Nagandahan pa nga yung SA sa LED, lakas daw. Hehe

Oh! Thanks for the recommends sir! The Hello Twintone seems to sound better. I think ok din yung Bosch H3F (searched in youtube)
