QUOTE(llhm87 @ Jun 13 2016, 06:24 PM) No rush la. As long the car is in good condition and everything done such as tinting, coating and etc before collection. I did not rush my SA coz I want to ensure a good workmanship for my tinting. Tinting coating all not done, because I'm going outside to do my own coating and tinting~ And my car is parked outside of the showroom since Friday~ Feel like a bit heartache for my beloved new car parking there almost a week. Can say its only this long because waiting cheque to clear, then go jpj register

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 13 2016, 07:16 PM) here is the 4 different version that i mentioned, if you want to buy from taobao, better choose unpainted or gloss/matte black, other color might have color mismatch https://world.tmall.com/item/41400433044.ht...0714.0.0.6YLUUehttps://world.tmall.com/item/40229101045.ht...0714.0.0.6YLUUehttps://world.tmall.com/item/42566712004.ht...0714.0.0.6YLUUehttps://world.taobao.com/item/40510738389.h...9832.0.0.KH7rwvcan go register an account in this mazda 3 international forum, inside a lot of DIY tips http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/some tips for you when you get your new car since you upgrade from myvi the bonnet is twice length of your myvi, and the seating position of the driver seat is situated slightly to the center of the car, so you have to really be careful when you park head in, reverse park should be no problem since the boot is not that long when you navigate in shopping mall car park also have to be careful, especially paradigm mall and 1U old wing rooftop ramp, the first day i done my coating then i scratched the rims in 1U car park  and the car body is also wider, so it might take you sometime to get used to the side mirror and the wider body Thanks for your advice, I also know M3 is much longer than my old car, I also worried the same, that I will scratched my car especially in indoor carpark or at the ramp going up or down, especially spiral type of ramp. But driving bigger cars, I think I'm still not too bad though, as my parents have a SUV at home, which I drive every weekend fetching them out~ I think I just needed sometime to adjust my judgement and becareful only

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 13 2016, 07:18 PM) sg. besi SC very nice lor, maybe that time dont have a lot of cars to deliver, my car is parked inside and at the middle of the showroom so when walk in through the main door can see my car greet me already  I bought my car at federal Highway, all cars inside showroom are for display only, as you can see the number plate written the model name front and back. I think its their practice that all new cars will wait outside until deliver, they have one delivery place which can only fit a car, cars will be there right before you collect

QUOTE(MNet @ Jun 13 2016, 08:11 PM) Why dont u take the package 3M tint + coating from khiso ? Khiso is? QUOTE(MNet @ Jun 13 2016, 08:20 PM) Any side effect of coating? If kene bird dropping, when notice it already dry, what will happen to the coating? That's advice from sierra glow, if you kena any acidic or alkaline substances, better clear it soon. As far as I see from my car, kena 1,2 times doesn't see what difference, probably long term maintenance wise, better clean off these?

QUOTE(Ginny88 @ Jun 13 2016, 09:39 PM) Try not to waste your money on coating and body kits. The Mazda 3 body lines are beautiful already without bodykit. Coating doesn't protect your paint against bird poo, tree sap, watermark, UV light or scratches. Just wax your car every 2-3 months. Spend your money on more useful items like tyre pressure monitoring system, front sensors and autobrake lock/auto folding side mirror instead of cosmetics. Just my 2 cents. It depends, for coating i think worth doing, as i had 2 cars in my house with Sierra glow coating, really shiny, of course more shiny than a brand new car paint. And not so easy to get dirty compared to cars without coating. And RM 950 you get 5 years warranty, even if you involved in accident, they can free do coating again for max 3 panels of your car. Coating is still extra protection and your car look even nicer. And if do coating, u save more money on polishing. Just my opinion.

QUOTE(eugenet88 @ Jun 14 2016, 10:12 AM) 950 is cheap tho, which coating? in kuantan its around 2k+ for the branded, and i calculated for my own reference and feel, better not to. rm2500 (tint) / RM20 (wash car) = 125 times i can wash the car 1 week wash once, i can wash for like 2 years plus. and the coating i heard is not fully covered if accident. every 2 months i pay extra rm30 for wax coating 2 years only rm400+- 950 is from Sierra Glow, they have quite good review also~ you can do some research online. Basically you also save some hassle, because easier to take care or wash.

QUOTE(eugenet88 @ Jun 14 2016, 04:07 PM) hopefully tmr can get car then try is the noise so unbearable. maybe i used to potong which is worse lehh. see first. but thanks for info. btw kuantan maybe got good workmanship, need to survey. i blif in kuantan kia QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 14 2016, 04:11 PM) tomorrow collect car? even if m3 has lesser noise compare to proton, you will still not like it, why? because you are spending 124k on a japanese C segment yet you get issue that a proton has is sort of a natural behavior that when we are spending more on something we expect better quality from it I also hope i dun have that problem when i collect my car on thursday~ touchwood if really got, also hope that the problem can be solved permanently by replacing parts.

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 14 2016, 04:30 PM) NVH is definitely bad compare to other C segment, just enjoy your ride, go redline it once in a while, you sure will love it  If for NVH, during test drive i find it actually ok for me, but test drive is just a short period of time though. Might need some further testings.
