Hi guys, wonder if anyone have their headlamp protected by film? Am thinking since cerato headlamp is one of the stylish mark of cerato (with DRL), would want to survey where to get the headlamp protected by small little stones on the road.

If anyone could have some information on this with a price, please do kindly share.

By the way i am thinking to remove the "CERATO" logo on my car, to make it looks nicer and slick (No logos behind, except the KIA on the boot trunk)

Thanks for the reply, very good point you have there. I do agree in perspective of logic thinking, i would think kia sc have a better chance of better service in terms of minor issues complain/questions compare to dealers sc, as dealer sc might need time to get feedback from HQ plus they hopefully want to charge you (this is how they earn extra) as you know we definately like the car we bought, so minor flaws in the new car makes us want to seek for a solution to perfect the car (at least that is what we hope).

Any recommendation for SC? Is RED CUBE PJ good enough?
I wish to state few of my 1st service question/compains here to sifus and wise owner to seek guidence. 

1)My hand brake needs to pulls up to 4 levels (4 "tik-tak" sound on the release button when i pull) to be able to have a firm grip, do i need to tighten it ? 

2)Does KX have a cigi lighter on the 12V?

3)Does the center compartment (where the 12V is place) chrome button have a locking function? As i notice it doesn't have any "click" sound when i pull all the way down to close it.

4)The pasenger SRS airbag ON signal stays on for quite a long time (around 1 min plus) when i start the car, is this normal?

5)Does KX have passenger seat belt warning?

6) What is complimentation on the 1st service?

Hope sifus here don't mind my newbie questions as i just got the car for 1 week plus and previously driving an older version car (nissan sentra 1.6), many functions are new to me

Do the cerato 2.0 comes with 8" LCD screen as well ?

I installed a PPF on the entire front portion of the car. Worth every penny considering how many scratches there are on it now.

For the headlamp, you can get it done for about RM200/side if not wrong. Forgot the breakdown already. You can check out GGuard. They use xPel eXtreme or Ultimate PPF (the latter is sort of self healing).

Thanks perror for this info, and yup definately the headlamp needs protection as with kl/sel road nowdays are pot holes and construction works everywhere (the lrt project), i am forseeing without protection, the headlamp will have strach marks soon.

I'll try the SC u mentioned as well, as most important is what you mentioned. SOLUTION  , if not why we bring our car to a service centre if without any problem ?

It is possible to do a layer of glass coating on the headlamp to protect it from dirt /grease and from minor scratches. Not sure about any tinting technology for head lamp though as it is external and unlike on the windows where the tint is being done from the inside.

Heard of owners taking out the KX emblem, but hardly heard of anybody wanting to get rid of the Cerato emblem.... But it's your car, do what pleases you of course, by all means. For removal of any emblem, you can use those fishing line to do the job to prevent any untoward scratches. Good luck!

Hi guys, going to get my cerato 2.0 this week.
There is a thing that need to seek advise from members here.
Any member here installed the suspension buffer rubber?
Does it help?
Need to install 4 unit or just two unit at the rear?

Hmmm.. I'm interested to get the 1.6kx. What's the discount/offer package for 2014 and 2015 stock?

With regards to problems, it's also sometimes good to do some homework with regards to the issues. Some of the problems can be best sorted with some collaborative troubleshooting.

I recently had some issues after changing my ATF. They offered to keep the car for a day to check the problem when the engine and gearbox is cold. I suggested to them to do a adaptive values reset on the gearbox, engine and brakes., something that can be found in various online sites. Problem went away.

It's probably quite useful to read up on these bits and the ownership experience will certainly be better especially when we face problems.

Hmm, agreed. Trying to pick up these technical knowledge as i was drving a manual nissan 1.6 for so many years. And u can imagine my nissan is totally without much advance driving technologies except those not affecting driving like auto side mirror, hence only do engine oil, filter, spark plug, radiator add water etc .  (Basically add in /change and it'll work. No reset issues )

Here's a good place to start

By the way, I know of a guy who could help you with your bumper if you've not found any. Feel free to drop me a PM if you need the contact.

As to whether our bumper have pearls, that's the first time I heard about it. That normally refers to the Prius with the blizzard white paint, which can be a real pain to get right once something happens. Our's is just standard metallic paint.
