Mazda3 from born to adulthood

[JDR]

It is quite impossible to recognize all the mods I've made to my car. She came through 6 long years of instant upgrade. Some of modifications were stupid and useless, some were weird and ugly, but mostly I still moved in right direction (at least I'd like to believe in it).

I think it is more suitable to just show you some before/after shots and share with you her spec-list.
