All New 2017 Mazda 3

[buknoii]

It's probably due to the slightly thick tire side walls. Applying Meguiar's Endurance tire gel can probably make it look sleek [emoji12]

Sir buknoii, may I ask what tire brand and specs?

bridgestone potenza sir 225/45 ...

yup.. felt weird looking at it.. maybe a little tire gel will fix this hehehehe

i want a "formal but mean" looking car hehe any suggestions?

For your M3 sir or for a new car? For a new car that would depend on your budget but if I have the means I would go for the latest BMW M5 or the cheapest Lexus IS

MY NEW CAR !! ? ? ??? - YouTube

Cheaper option would be Subaru Levorg.

There are some mods to make the M3 look a little bit "mean" like replacing front grills and bumper. Here's a sample from Mazda PH fb page:



But honestly these mods on the M3 somehow cheapens the way it looks imho. The current M3's appearance doesn't look great when modded to look "mean" and sporty. The way it looks is formal, classy and refined.

I don't see anything weird... it actually looks great!

Would anyone know of a reputable shop servicing windshields? Had three areas in the windshield where embers from a welding rod fell on and now have spider cracks on it. Hopefully QC area. Had seen 2 but in the rizal and pasig area which is hard for me to access. TIA

Feel your pain, doc.
Some things to note. Check the literature of the urethane sealant to be used. Find out its cure time w/ respect to conditions like temp, & humidity. Swap is best done indoors, dust-free. Keep the car unmoved while observing the Minimum Drive-Away Time Required. Besides leak concern, improper curing can compromise the vehicle's safety & structural integrity during crashes.
That said, some of ours have had chips & I opted to live w/ em. Nothing beats the factory seal.

Use a windshield repair kit to fix chips and small cracks ... You can buy from True Value, Ace Hardware or AliExpress ...

This is a good option. The challenge is removing the welding burn marks.

I suppose arranging a meeting between *dr_pido and *Walter should facilitate the repair.

Testing...

I didn't update tapatalk since I installed it last January. Perhaps the newest version has some compatibility issues.
