yup.. happened just outside my house. it's in Taman Goodwood, Klang. seriously must consider gated compound nowadays cry.gif
keep yours inside all times bro and jaga with a shotgun  thumbup.gif
aye. I hear you bro, but no moolah for a good system. just replaced the rims, tyres, glass and re-tint..  sad.gif  cry.gif

but I was quite surprised when I found out our baby don't come with an alarm system  sweat.gif
Btw for bros who are changing/planning to change the glass for forte (unlikely), there're two hues of our glass in the market: a normal plain glass (transparent) and a greenish hue one. I'm not sure why there're two variants but my baby comes with the greenish hue glass and the latter is much darker after tinting. got me headache for one week starring at the very bright passenger window before switching them to the right one doh.gif

Hello Guys, i'm new forte owner here.. ^^
Need some advise, i want to do tint for my new babe. .hehe
VKool for front windscreen and solar guard for the rest. the price offered was RM1280. Is this price look normal ?

Yes, mine is like that sometimes. I suspect connection loose somewhere from camera to rear view mirror. Will ask SC to check the next service.

I have installed VS in my car & FC did not improve much. All it does is stabilize your air con & elec system so it uses less engine power but not worth the money to put in the VS. The effect would be greater for older cars since their system has deteriorated so the VS can shown great improvement compared to installing it into a new car.

It would be better to put in a K&N filter for more power & more mileage if you can control your right foot after you put the filter in.  biggrin.gif

just a filter can give more mileage????...sure?? shocking.gif shocking.gif

btw, i found that my front hood got some spot where the paint seemed to be off...asked the SC during the last service, he said that it is due to bird poo... shocking.gif ..no warranty for that..if wan to fix that need to repaint which will cost me 400-500.. shocking.gif

i am tinking of sticking 3M carbon fiber on my hood...but the color looked like not so match with my titanium silver...any suggestion?

If you drive it the same way before you put filter, mileage can increase but after you feel the power increase, then your right foot would want to press more so your mileage will decrease. Understand?  rclxub.gif

1. If you can afford it, get the 2.0. Sure no regrets.  biggrin.gif

2. If you can only afford 1.6 (like me), put in a K&N filter then you won't feel regret as you can feel better power & no more sluggish feeling. Even better if you can downgrade to 16" rims. This way you can save 10K compared to buying 2.0 including savings on road tax, insurance & interest over the years of ownership.

3. Don't get POLO sedan if you can afford Forte 2.0. Sure its a VW but small & performance same as Forte 1.6. If you want POLO, get the hatch with TSI engine then can really feel the power.

i see...sorry la..i really noob in this.. tongue.gif ..btw, i remember got a few kind of filter right?..this K&N filter is for which?..cabin or that engine one?..lol...confused.. laugh.gif

QUOTE(CyberKewl @ May 3 2012, 08:25 PM)
how much and where to buy the K&N filter? would putting it in void warranty?

i also wan to know..if not mistaken is around 200-300... rclxub.gif
