Some photos of Mazda Axela / 3    2017 facelift were leaked. 

Seems like the chrome grill has pierced into the headlight. Love that design.

This is axela /3.

If you wanted those headlights with bi xennon discharge lamps and daytime running lamps,  you should have bought the 2.5L version of Mazda 6.

You only get halogen projector lamps with no daytime running lamps with 2L one.

But still you can fix xennon for your low beam projectors and also LED daytime running lamps around the fog lamp.

Actually 2.5L are advertised for less prices than 2L. 

2L has a better 2nd hand market than 2.5L even it has less options.

More information on the new March...the car will be offered with a 1.0L NA gasoline engine (BR10DE) with about 70+ HP or a 0.9L Turbo charged engine (HR09DET) putting out about 90+ HP in the Japanese market and the European markets will get a diesel variant in addition to the petrol engines. Nissan remains silent about a Hybrid variant.

Toyota offers official Aluminium tape kit as a performance maintenance accessory....why ? Well Toyota's research has shown that the Aluminium tapes are a cheap and quick way of discharging the electricity build up within the cars (which apparently effects the constant performance of electronic components/sensors/etc...). Apparently the electricity build up in modern day cars is quite high (I wonder why that is ? <---that was a sarcastic and rhetorical question).

Is it just me or does BR10DE sound like bride.

After months upon months of denying speculation and reports of Toyota joining up with Suzuki; the two manufacturers finally announced that they would be collaborating. At present the collaboration is primarily technological; and Toyota is expected to provide Fuel-cell tech and co-develop other "similar" alternative fuel and eco-friendly technologies. Thus, co-sharing models and platforms do not seem to be on the table.

Yes, the 2L is more fuel efficiency than 2.5L

 On top of the above...Toyota and Daihatsu seem to be setting up a new joint venture...

Hi Ashaar

Sorry bro I personally don't know where to get them fixed or how much it costs. But I've seen a few Mazda 6s with them. Maybe they ordered through eBay.
