<![CDATA[This is a bit confusing…...]]>I have been looking at this MX on ebay and things dont seem to add up.
It has the JDM front splitter fitted, it has a rare wraparound rear spoiler, the bumper is wide enough to fit a UK number plate but it has reflectors fitted in the sides like an import. There is an extra fog light fitted at the bottom of the bumper and it is totally badged as a mazda mx3.

Is it a rebadged eunos?? but then the rear number plate is rectangle and the imports usually only have room for a square plate. Why is there an add on after market fog light??? Where else could this be imported from

Looks like a Eunos though.**

Mazda bonnet badge
Mazda badges on the rear end. (eunos's don't have the "Mazda, ABS, MX3 badges)

Imports have the fog light on the drivers side

Import parts

Spoiler
Front Lip
Looks like the Eunos dash as well
Can't make out if it says presso or MX3 on the rear right

I'd say the hell away from it.

If they picked up the Eunos didn't know what it was and just assumed it was a De-badged MX3, so they put the "Correct" badges on :(

That rear numberplate cutout looks extremely bodged either way.

Even my 1994 Fiesta, which was scrapped in 2001, appears on the DVLA database.
