Anyone knows how much it is to replace a broken door handle?

Inner or outer release handle? How did u break it? Some rough rider ur.

Part only. Outer in d region of RM25. Inner RM45.

All outer handles r d same except d front RH cap (d part u put in d key) Inner handles, difference is LH & RH(Front & Rear same)

Bro instead or respraying only.. I recommend i do Opticoat or PPS or SierraGlow coating for it.. Much more worthwhile.. 500-650 only.. Can protect the paint forever and also can prevent scratches..

OIC.. I try to avoid toll as much as possible.. It adds up to a lot actually.. I can feel the pain.. I reload rm100 TnG and within 1mth can finish.. @.@
If only i know there will be terrible jam then i wud used toll highway..

Everyone.. I wound DISCOURAGE you all from pumping at ESSO SS14 (beside roundabout). There i think the petrol they got mix with thinner or water..

Experience:
I pump full tank Ron95@SS14 to go ipoh.. Engine was super noisy on highway.. The noisiest i ever heard from my engine (even with radio on and playing some clubbing hits i can still hear my engine roar, normally can nvr hear anything with volume 28).. Max speed also barely can touch 170kmh. (Remember in my youtube video I reached 190kmh and the engine was super smooth and quiet even with the radio off)
On return journey, I pour Esso ron97. Engine was super quiet.. Poorer pickup than normal but on high speed the power came smoothly.. Touch 200+kmh effortlessly..
Then today morning i pour rm10 Esso95 at SS14, go to ampang hilir.. Rm20 tank just finish like that.. Not even terrible jam (4pm). Engine no pickup.. Heavy and keep on changing gear as i had to press harder to accelerate.. On the way back from ampang hilir i pour RM50 Esso95. Was rushing back cos have to reach SS15 by 8pm.. 7.20pm leave from ampang hilir.. 2fast2furious i drive like mad.. Pickup was smooth.. Can feel the engine more responsive and FC was very good.. I travelled back and went to USJ19 and back to SS15 a few times.. Total 64km use less than half of 1gap..
So i think the SS14 station there must have campur something else into the petrol.. Cos i have been using Esso for so many fill-ups ady and i can feel the difference..

do you mind telling us here where to find the shops/places that provides this kind of services? Have you done it to your car before? when you say 'prevent scratch' do you really mean TOTAL PREVENTION? sounds too good to be true lah.

Yeah it prevent scratches.. PPS have been in malaysia for more than 10yrs.. U can go to the Forte Club in LYN and see their reviews and comments.. They all pakat do groups to get group discount over there... It prevent swirls and scratches from wiping and can prevent stone chips to a certain extend.. Its due to they coat a thick and hard polymer coating onto your paint. Covering it 100%.. The good thing about polymer coating is it seals and provide another layer of protection above the original paint yet its not organic in nature so it doesnt turn yellow or degrade.. The bad thing is IT MUST BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL, cos if u dont clean ur car properly and u just coat it like that then all the imperfections and impurities will be sealed under the polymer.. Then u can nvr remove it unless u wet sand ur paint..

wow it's like a double-edged sword... so if you just bought a new car is it better to get it 'coated' (is it the correct term?) and regularly wash the car?

ummmm when persona club will pakat and to the same thing forte club did haha

Well it depends on how much u sayang ur car.. Some ppl buy and dont bother taking care cos its a Proton.. But for me I would do my best that i can afford cos the car is serving me a purpose regardless of what badge it carries. I have asked SierraGlow for a quote and they gave me RM600.. So shd be cheaper if a few ppl can do it together.. I hvnt asked PPS yet.. See when im free one of the days i will go ask lah..

Why i said it must be donw by a professional is cos last time when PPS first came out they were offering packages for around RM1.5k.. But they also sold their products outside to DIY.. What happened is a lot of ppl dont have a dust free environment and dont know how to clay and prep their car for coating.. Causing a lot of dust and dirt to be locked in (obvious in white color cars) after coating and becoming unremovable.

Wasn't me driving, my dad said his car got vandalised or something like that. It's at the driver side on d outside of the car. It was ok all this while and it's a 1st batch persona btw, so I don't think this normally happens to Persona. Anyway, thanks for your help!

aiyo car exterior better not spend too much..coz accident happens anytime..imagin one door kena langgar...change new door...new door no coating..den haf to waste money do again.

10k km bcos i use full synt oil...been using fully since 20k km till now..i send for service oso they didnt check anything..in the service booklet,they have to check this,perform that...and what i notice is they just change engine oil...change spark plug..just the changing part no checking..what to do??

um, i just wanna know is it possible to respray persona b-line into color that matches saga blm se red?

Surely can.. You can do it in any workshop also.. Just go and get the exact color code from Proton there.. Then go to the workshop and they can get the color for you.

thanks, um, how much? black rooftop, brilliant red body, the persona i ordered is black by default, so no need respray black lo?

Since black ady of cos no need to respray.. Unless there are a lot of flaw or what.. Just wax the car the moment u get it to protect it lah..

How much i dunno lah.. But i know to respray a car is around RM1.5k in JB.. Mb u can look in automotive garage for shops with good customer review.

Just go to a shop that is reputable. Cos some new shops are able to offer you very cheap price, but they use cheapo paint and lousy clear coat.. My family car kena like that also.. After respray the boot 3mths later clearcoat failure(the color mati like a 20year old car like that). And make sure the paintshop has an oven to bake ur car paint.. There is no such thing as no need to bake the paint..

you mean the esso is next to bhp right?. and the esso got car wash?.... that day i pump there ss14 esso.... paid RM50 to fill up and once i walk to my car...i saw the worker pouring some kind of water/thinner in a pail into the tank....i don't know that is for toilet wastage or the oil tank..but he just pour the whole pail and just close it.... .....so i suspect they add thinner or other oil to add on existing petrol..... but driving time, i think no much issues....didnt really pay much attention on the engine...la....

YES!!! Exactly.. The Esso beside the BHP there along the bak kut teh shop row there... Damn wei... Couldnt be toilet wastage lah.. If open means super smelly ady.. The hatch into the underground tank will be located somewhere near the front there.. Got like 4 hatches in total in a row. Nvr going to go there to fill petrol again..

add me to the list
switch_133 = brilliant red H/L

sent my car to Juru SC yesterday. complained about the engine felt heavier after 1st service. the foreman tuned the ECU. he said something like changing the offset from 125 to 98. I dunno what exactly he tuned now engine felt smoother. no more 'roaring' when overtaking other cars at highway. gonna test further to see the fuel consumption.

btw, i got 2300 rpm at 80km/h. when accelerating, the engine revs up to 4k rpm a while before going down to 2.5k rpm. Is that normal?
