Hello All!

Im new to the forum so hello everyone!
I have a Mazda 3 BM 2016 2.2D.

Im having a bit of a problem with a new grille i purchased recently. The grille i purchased has no holes for PDC or anything of that sort. When i dismantled my bumper i stopped halfway because of the PDC, there were no holes on the new bumper.
My question is if anyone knows if the bracket for the PDC in the OEM grille can be dismantled or is it the same piece with the grille. And if someone has had the same problem, what did you do?
I purchased this grille.

What is PDC?

 

Pdc is parking sensors,

 

BM & BN Mazda 3 have different bumper & grill designs. Also in my market, no Mazda 3 comes with front part sensors from factory, they are available as a genuine accessory, which requires drilling holes in the bumper & grill.

So with the grill & bumper being different between BM & BN the holes will be in different positions.

Also if you buy a grill from a market that doesn't have the option for front park sensors from factory, there won't be pre-drilled holes for parking sensors.


Am I on the same page understanding your issue?
