Well done and awesome looks! *thumbs up* thanks for sharing too. Any idea how much it cost for the spacer for all fours?

a bit expensive as i request to use T7 alloy materials..it cost me RM800 for all 4/pc

Custom made spacer? So we definitely cant look for it outside those normal tyre shop? What happen to your original rims then? You trade in?

Peugeot wheel hub different from other car..even our OEM rim tighten with screw not from nut...so need to custom it..sure u can purchase the spacer from tyre shop..but they will get engineering company do that for them. I keep back my original rims since they just only pay RM1k for it..when i think it back..it not worth it..so i decided to keep it.

I was walking inside a shopping mall's car park last night and a white 408T drove past me at low speed. Is this car's engine supposed to be that noisy? If I didn't look at it I'd have thought it was an old Proton Saga or something. Or maybe that particular car has some faults.

peugeot engines have been loud all this while. as far as i can remember from the 405 and 306 till today's models. the fan is particularly loud.

Loud from the outside, not on the inside

1k for original price is sucks, good that u keep it with u. U can sell it on Peugeot Club Malaysia if you wish to, should can get a better price.

It's the air con fan, not the engine sound. Well, it's loud, but hardly hear inside.

yup. agreed. best is, you can hardly hear it from inside. and that is what counts for more right?

Hi,
Anyone know where can we custom made this. Pressed material.

Sorry noob here, anything special? Normal accessories shop can't get?

Need to look, not all accesories can do it coz need to order and send to factory/workshop to press.

I know one place which also do it, quick-save auto boutique. Checkout their facebook, they do rims n tyres, a lil bit accessories, also do a lot of contis especially veedubs. Havent been there myself tho, in usj if im not mistaken

I think better i keep it..as maybe future need to use it back..btw..future if wanna buy back..had 2k also couldn't buy..huhuhu

Can share where did you purchase from? Quite interested too

Yup. Its pressed aluminium. I think. Some bought from overseas which I worried may lost parcel n for sure may damage during transportation.

Owh. Quick-save auto botique. Thanks for that info. May visit there.

Nothing to do with special. Hehehehe.
Just wanted the finest workmanship on the custom made.

For a indirect comparison:
I have a 1.6L Elantra and 1.6 408T sit in my car porch and the noticeable difference is :

Elantra
Pros
Really Light steering wheel and easy to drive around town
Nice sound system (heard that 1.8 HU is not ori and suck big time)
spacious cabin
Very sporty and sexy looking car
Fast cooling air con

Cons
Handling suck big time.. woobling left and right when hit on uneven road.. Even Mazda 3 is better than Elantra
Engine sound suck big time when pedal to metal.. the engine like screaming for help above 4K RPM..
Although on paper the power figure is highest in it's class.. but I can really feel it..felt under power on stand still and pickup
I have try to be gentle on the pedal.. max I get is 20cent/KM town driving


408T
Pros
Nice engine note when accelerate
Needless to say.. Powerfull!!
Handling are top notch
more spacious than Elantra
Steering feedback is precise and confident when maneuver at corner.. but prolong drive I feel kinda a fatigue with the constant uneven road feel transfer to the steering

Cons:
Air con not than cool in the afternoon.. even you turn to "LO"
Sound system suck big time
Higher fuel consumption
Very very addictive..every time I drive alone without CFO beside me.. I tend to pedal to metal.. just to hear the faint sound of "pssshhtt"
Boring back side look
really really loud engine fan noise
Dusty brake pad and with this kind of multi spoke rim.. wash me die!


Overall.. Elantra is like Korea Kpop singer.. heavily disguise in cosmetic sugery.. just for the look.. while 408T is like truffles.. looks is not that appealing but wait till you taste it
