Thanks. Bau kedai is nice


lol i wish i can say RM12k is small diff amount too



I don't really know what type of steering that Proton used for previous production but from your word, i think that's a good thing for me

bro poadster, from what i heard,ABS after paint is more near original car paint, and abs weight lighter than PU material,but you said ABS is harder, i press my LGT spoiler , kinda soft leh...... while PP material is different story, that is more expensive material, if got option i will chose PP too. in my opinion , i installing skirt that shop not bad.... he screw in the screw that beside tires there got take out your tires first, not just hard screw in without remove the tires.

dont know about my dad, he said more xx to 1xx per month only. why dont wan take the premium one.

btw bro, congrat of getting new car, good choice on MT time to change your tires to bigger size , hahahaha.

ABS for spoilers and skirts are ok, not as much risk of kena hit by stones... as compared to bumpers...

As for paint, its up to the skill of the paint shop to mix and spray the part, as per how its supposed to be done. Base coat, let it dry, color coat, let it dry, then top coat. Most paint shops skips the first and last, and also paints too thin, thus the reason why the color is different. Yes, color difference is also due to the material, but the skill of the paintshop is more crucial, some fibre bumpers and spoilers look exactly the same as the original body color.

All being said, as long as you are happy, you are free to get any material, any design and any color... its your car, your money and your choice...

Glad that you are happy with the car, can tell from the "proudness" in your sentences...

ya, i really proud to "drive" this car (as this car belong to my dad not me), every times i look at it , every times i love it more. now every 2 to 3 day also wash car 1 time , like addiction , want to make the car shiny and lengzai

LOL.. i think we all had that feeling too.... after awhile.. it becomes 2 to 3 months once ....

no la, even my 9 years old waja ,i also 2 week wash 1 times, but drives to car wash shop let people wash, just now back from there only rm6, but new car first 2 years self wash first.

very dedicated.. haha sadly i not like tat.. think i wanna go wash car d..

how to differentiate between ABS or fibre for spoiler material?
most of shop selling Fibre cheap compare to ABS..
but i just curious how to check if the material is original ABS not fibre, scared if will get cheat by shop later...

Haahh! I suppose I will be getting my Inspira within the next 2 weeks. I am loving it already. I've just read the V2 thread from pg 1 till pg 100 and I can understand the miserable long wait for the car delivery. I am fortunate that mine would be delivered within 2 weeks. I don't have a long list of what I am gonna enhanced. The rim isn't the best looking but it moves the car and serves that purpose. The body represent the larger look of the car and I just want to ensure the paint look good for a long time. So automatically something like PPS is in my list. Next would be the autofoam for the door. Those are just the two items in my list and that's all about it. Hence my question:

1) Can anyone who has done PPS share with me with your feedback - it is effective and serve the purpose well? Is it a one-time payment or there are some periodical maintenance that we have to pay to ensure effectiveness? Any negative side-efffect in the long run?

2) For the foam, which part of Inspira do you apply it? What are the desirable benefits that you feel you are getting from this exercise? Any negative side-effect in the long run?

I ask because I have never done the above two items for my previous cars so appreciate this sharing of information from lovely and helpful LYN Inspira community.

Many thanks.

Any cars here interested to have a ride together go up Hill GENTING tonight?

Happy that this thread has reached V7! Congrats!

7 months with my Inspira and it still feel like "First Love".

You got that right! Still feels like that...

PPS still need maintenance every 6 nmonths or so...i think cost around RM180 or so each time..

As for the autofoam, it is best you ask klautofoam....but frankly, i dun like the guy.....PM and SMS him also never reply...look at his youtube video talk also quiet lanci...calling Malaysians stupid...

6 months interval return with a slap of RM 180 approximately? Remind me of termite treatment like a contract. Have fellow Inspirians (Inspira owners) tried other alternatives? SG? Any positive feedback?

Oh. Oh. Calling Malaysians stupid is a no go. I hope he is not Malaysian himself. Thanks Matrix for the pointers. Really appreciate that. Anybody else with other alternatives and feedback?

I chose SG due to the fact it does not need the regular 6 months "maintenance" back to the shop like PPS, its too much hassle and time consuming for me personally. And SG's upfront cost is slightly cheaper than PPS and minus the regular 6 month maintenance cost, I find SG being more cost effective and less hassle in the long run. The owner of SG is very friendly and their workers are very professional. They even explain to you what they are doing and show you where are the defects in your paint that needs correction.

There are cases where those returned to SG for touch up at accident area (due to re-spray), changed bumpers or even with water marks issues are given FREE follow up service and it takes the SG team about 1-2 hours (depending on complexity of the issue) to do the free service for you.

Please note that SG is not the way to no more car wash, or just spray water and wipe, from my experience you will still need to apply mild shampoo and wash regularly to be truly clean. SG just offer an additional layer of protection so that you do not need to apply wax or polish your car in 5 years. But those have done SG can attest the fact washing is much easier, dirt comes off easier and the shine is superb (if properly maintained).

hope this will help you decide, for I am one happy SG customer.

Errr...may I ask what's SG and PPS ? And where do I get them ?
Since I booked a Plum Red Inspira, it'll be good to keep it shinny

Your satisfaction does show in your post. Just what I am looking for I believe. So with that layer of protection, SG suppose to keep the shine for the next 5 years if properly maintained? I suppose we must wash the car ourselves then since the car wash usually work out the car treating metal as metal. But I like the idea that if the wash is easy then we would have better quality time with our Inspira bathing together. sounds like it. Sothy, pal, I believe your Inspira might have been part of your family for about 6 months by now (I read v2 thread) and the SG effect must still be there doing its job. How about Road Tar or stubborn dirt? Do we need to use Tar Remover (impact on SG?) or that tar would still be easily removed with mild soap? Do you have a website link to SG? Many thanks for your quality sharing. Really appreciate that.

SierraGlow "SG" http://www.sierraglow.com/ or PPS www.shinenshield.com


Washing the car yourself is a must if you wanna take care of your car properly - no short cuts. Outside car wash do not and will not dedicate much effort to ensure its "correctly" washed. Why do I say this, is because they use the same old/worn cloths from 1 car to another, so imagine how many dirt, sand and dust particles they carry from one car and to another and another and then to yours? This in the long run will scratch the paint, and you see plenty of swirl marks/"spider webs" under proper lighting. It will surely spoil the shine after SG.

So by applying proper washing technique, regular maintenance and use correct tools will ensure your car is well taken care off, and you know it is because its washed by yourself.

So if you are really into doing the wash by yourself after SG, I would recommend that you try

1. Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine (ONR) - Just rinse your car properly, wash 1 section of the car each time (top 1st then to bottom) with this ONR and then wipe dry, no need to do any rinsing. Its surprisingly cleaner than normal shampooing products, slightly pricier than conventional car shampoo but its well worth it for me. If you want to buy this please PM the seller KC http://forum.lowyat.net/user/344336 for more info.

2. Use 3 Microfiber towels, 1 to wash and 2 to dry, whole car can be washed & dried within 20mins. Towels should be replaced after 3 months of usage.

3. Wash with 2 bucket system, 1 with ONR/shampoo and the other bucket normal water to rinse the towel after washing each section to remove any potential dirt/sand/dust from the towel before proceeding to the next section of your car.

For me using ONR saves time and effort, so with SG and ONR is doubly easy to wash and maintain your car regularly.

As for the tar question, it is a tricky situation to handle, it does stick to the surface on the car even with SG, what you can do is to clay the tar spots and it will come out, if the tar is like a big patch/splash then use the Tar Remover or Optimum Power Clean straight or if you have the time go back to SG, let them handle it for you if you worry about damaging the SG layer, which means probably you have to leave the tar stains there for some time before they have slot to help you, so either DIY or go back to SG. That's why its tricky...
