Photochop request: 2010 MS3 hood scoop on a Mazda3

[hyperpm]

I have urge to purchase 2010 MS3 and if I do, I want to see how Mazda3 front bumper would look on it. Thanks! I really like Mazda 3 front bumper compared to MS3.

notice that the MS3 in that picture has HIDs so it was probably not taken in the US

Not to mention RHD.

also, if you do put the hood of a normal 3 on a speed3 I hope you are planning on doing a FMIC conversion because that thing is not gonna be able to breathe. I don't think there are any conversions for it out yet. I wonder if it'll look like the smile has teeth if you do that anyways lol. Also, I think everything else will look about the same from the front of the car if you just replace the hood, I don't think the front grille is that different except for the "flames" grille piece.

^The OP said he wants to put a regular 3 front bumper on a Speed3, not the hood.

It's a little confusing. The post says MZ3 bumper on a MS3 and the title says MS3 scoop on a MZ3. The fenders are different on the MS3, so I doubt the MZ3 bumper would fit on the MS3. Sorry to burst your bubble, OP. I'm not sure you could swap the hoods either, but it's more likely.

Btw, the MZ3 is my pic. Feel free to chop it though.

For photochop purposes, seems easier to just photochop the hood scoop on regular 3. Based on pics above, fenders look very similar to me and where it meets fender is exactly the same for both.

The easiest way to tell is the headlights. The crease next to them is further out on the MS3. The angle is a little different too.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

I'll be damned...never noticed that before. I'd heard the fenders were slightly different, but could never see it. And I'm usually pretty observant. (freak)

No queer amber reflectors in the headlights either.... mmmmmmm
