Any tips for the potential new owner?

Your SA should have gone through all items in a checklist WITH YOU when you are collecting your car from the sales office.
That one should be quite sufficient.

The remaining things/items that should be checked, you can find them in this thread. Just go through them.

I'll purchasing mine from vincent818. Hopefully it will be 0% problem within this earliest time.

Looking at vincent818 reputation here, I hope I'd made the right call.

You did. I got my SS from him. Highly recommended.

thanks bro, received your whatsapp today

May I know the estimation I'll received my Suprima? Can't wait!

Hi you bought suprima s ? what color ? you are the boss of illlegear ?



Anyone know does suprima s come with coil mat now or you can buy from proton ?

^ A red one.

Eh guys, red or blue is more gooding?

the reason why other member reply like that is because the answer is clearly stated in manual... go read the manual first... I strongly believe that every buyer got the manual together with the car...

as for me, atlantic blue, coz it's uniquely identified as SS... plus preve and SS share some design, and preve didn't come with this colour, so, people know it's SS. but red look fierce... hehe...

I believe Preve coil mat can fit SS... do correct me if im wrong...

Going with red

Welcome doc!

Don't have this problem.

Go through the checklist with dealer. Make sure you get the microSD card with the maps. Also make sure radio RDS is working. Buttons working.

Same colour here

Now, on to the mods:
First, ICE.

Here are the ICE I found which can replace that 7" screen:
Kenwood:

http://www.kenwood.com/my/car/visual_navig...33bt/index.html
http://www.kenwood.com/my/car/visual_navig...0wbt/index.html

Has some sort of mirrorlink for android and iphone use.
Does not work with any of the car rear and front sensors.


Same with Sony:
http://www.sony.com.my/product/xav-742

Pioneer has more choices:
http://www.pioneer.my/productList/default....logId=28&Page=1

This is the best one I think:
http://www.pioneer.my/ProductDetail/defaul...7&CatId=2,23,28

Tons of connectivity options
However, does not have front sensor or rear sensor support. Does support rear view camera.

Any more ICE I missed?

So, no ICE system that can truly replicate all the functions of the stock screen yet

As for exterior mods:

I think the one from Theophilus Chin is ok: http://paultan.org/2013/08/19/proton-supri...cial-rendering/

The R3 version is ok, but abit overkill for me: http://paultan.org/2014/02/07/proton-suprima-s-mss-race-car/

From the standard SS:


Going for either option above may add more weight to the car, which is kind of hopeless.

Does anyone know what are the functions of the left and right grey angular bits (left and right of the rear fog lamp at the end) Does closing it improve airflow or FC? If I'm not mistaken, Myvi had some sort of cut out at that region for improving FC, however perodua decided to "plug" the holes because the bumper was not structurally strong IMO. Correct if I'm wrong.

I quite like the 8th gen civic rear mod which I think is quite popular. Seen quite a few cars which have this mod. The one where the brake light is at the bottom centre (where the current fog light on the SS is). Then flanked by two exhaust. Does anyone have a picture of that mod? I think if you are serious on modding the car, that is the way to go. I saw one SS picture, I forgot where the person has two rear exhaust but it is below the grey bumper bit. That kind of mod does not look streamline with the body like the 8th gen civic mod. Anyone has that SS picture. However, I do like the rims of that car. If my stock rims are damaged, that is the next rim for me.

Also, need to remember that it is not as simple as just adding dual exhaust without checking properly. That is why most cars with dual exhaust have dummy exhaust sytem anyway.

For those who want to have proper dual exhaust, then this may be a good read:
http://www.exhaustvideos.com/faq/how-to-ca...-diameter/#easy

I think we need to wait for R3 to come out with proper mods. Though if possible I would like a dual exhaust exterior like the civic 8th gen.

I think that is about it. Though if Proton comes out with a better HUD display, something like the Inspira or Cerato, I would not mind changing the stock unit.

Hopefully someone at R3 is reading this post

^ Finally, a reply I been looking for! Thanks mystvearn for your post!

ICE would be the LAST on my list. The stock and interior is relatively hideous, I know - but its Proton for God sake. I would opt Jazz or Picanto if wanting a better interior

However, regarding the exterior, what's your opinion about this design. Be mind that its only consist of front, left and right, no rear bumper.







I was quoted about RM 1.2k for those. Unfortunately it doesn't come with rear bumper which is a big deal for me.

Happy to join the family soon! Thanks for the warm wish!

Front not that big deal. Looks just slightly different. For rm 1.2k a bit too much.
