Ok lang ba mag pa gas sa flying v, phoenix or total?

So long as it meets the minimum RON rating stated in the manual ok lang.

Thanks sir trav for the video. The plate light lamp of the mazda 6 is somehow spacious compared to the 3 hatchback. I wish the 3 hb has the same.. I cant insert my finger on the side so I can easily remove the plastic lamp with the flat head screwdriver.

Any idea on what is this? Just noticed it while quick detailing my car

Seems very doable. This is how it looks on our hatches...

Parang paint defect? Or scratch siya na pinatungan ng paint?

Tried it so many times, no luck for me. Tried going to casa this morning but the SA told me i will wait longer because the service bay is full.

Nde ko nga lam sir alam ko din paint defect or natalsikan ng maliit na bato.. pano kaya tanggalin to

[sparcom2]

The flat head screwdriver must be wrap with soft cloth to avoid damage on the plastic lamp according to the manual.

Naglalagay ka ba ng rain repellant sa glass? Parang ganyan din kasi nangyari dun sa old car ko nung natalsikan ng rain-x. Natunaw yung paint..

Which panel is that on? If plastic, don't worry. If metal, please look closer & make sure it isn't rust.....

That's plastic. Rock chip most likely. Nothing to lose sleep over. Retouching will give you a finish inferior to factory. I'd leave it alone, chiezee sir....
If it's any consolation, I'm even leaving these painful cat scratches alone.

Ok thanks sir. Hayaan ko n lng nag alala lang ko baka magka rust

Nah..that top fascia is plastic.

The factory paint touch up pen from mazda might be a good remedy for that sir trav..

M3 hatch plate light cover has ears similar to the M6 in the vid:


The M3 SEDAN plate light has no ears, as shared here by our good brothah, jet747:


Jet747 further shared:
"You can't pry off the lens on our m3 SEDANs like the m6 in the video. They had to remove the trunk liner on mine to access the bulbs."

Thanks, jet brah!👍☺

Thanks, sparcom sir. I might just try that someday. I fear my writing hand isn't as steady as it used to be. Results might even be worse.
