Insead of 15" will be slightly heavy on pick up time.
The 15" rims with complete tyre on 195/55/15" should be match and a bit slower than original 14" rims pick up and more stable on corner handle.

Sure even on 1.3L in highway at 150-160km to be cut off limited.

FC slightly bad on 15" rims the rest all perfect.

the girl is driving. all ur point of more stable in corner or pickup etc etc juz wont cut it.
besides, how much can u improved from already quite good handling car? samore have to waste unnecessarily. nowadays money so easy to come by ke?

+1

In fact, just get a 1.3 FLX should suffice, since you both don't dig the SE's design. I don't think your GF will mind the difference, since 1.3 CVT is plenty powerful for regular driving.

Unless, you plan to "borrow" her car more often after she got it tongue.gif biggrin.gif Besides, 1.3 FLX can go 175km/h no problem, just ask V12k brows.gif

if for me, i would paint the skirting and front lip white and paint black the b-pillar

also IF want to change the rims, then go for official Proton R3 performance wheel for RM 2199

Imo, the saga se already cun bro..Maybe in time both of u can accept the design?

Anyway if u still have xtra budget left i would suggest send your gf saga for waxing/detailing 1st.


Added on January 8, 2012, 10:02 pmActually i also really like the saga flx 1.6 se & i planning to get it for my wife..but since i ady have a sedan so it will be unlikely.

for me it's ugly compare to saga 1.6 fl,the performance is good,but the looks...
skirting wif unpainted black colour,the sport rim and the tail light also...

anyway to improve the look?
btw not a saga flx se user,but my gf maybe going for it(the white colour)...and i was like meh,but the peformance realli nice after test drive smile.gif

Bro, are u real see the car yourself? it's not unpainted, it's painted in brownish dark color. want to see real unpainted go see 3siries bellow bumper.
and yes the color did not match with white color, but it match with red color. no need to buy, go swap with current FL who want that bumper biggrin.gif

Black skirting, front and rear lip also black...why can't they just put real carbon....personally i hate the bodykit also.

The rims for me it doesn't suit well for the car, that rim is so hard to wash with all those spokes. Get a 15" SSR 6 spoke in black or gunmetal.

But that's me, i am not your gf.

erm,actually,the skirting,front lips n rear apron are metalic grey colored. It is metalic grey. So,its up to u to decide to change metalic to non-metalic colors,up to ur preference.

fyi there's a fxcking good reason that they make the lips and skirts dark color, because they will get dirty super easily if it's in light color. my LE has white lips and skirts, and they always stays dirty no matter how many times i wash my car, once it's out in the road after a wash they will become dirty IMMEDIATELY, so there is NO POINT WHATSOEVER TO PAINT THEM IN LIGHT COLORS SUCH AS WHITE. if your car is white color, black lips and skirting is good looking and it won't be disgusting ALL THE TIME!
