Was I die hard fan back in those days, unfortunately they don't know how to sell
Wanted to get an satria neo R3 bodykit from R3 the moment they launched it, the person in charge like wasn't interested to sell.
In the end, a friend working in proton manage to get just a spoiler for me, he said the rest not ready yet doh.gif
by the time the entire kit is available I've already lost interest

Kesian tengku djan

I remember reading about him being offered to work somewhere else but he turned all down. Guess his loyalty was put to waste. But im sure he has no problem finding other job.

Nothing. Just a syiok sendiri dept for Tengku Djan and friends to tinker around with aftermarket products & install to the existing cars... add some spot welds.. etc, done.

This car almost never seen available on secondary market. Official was 150 Last i heard was 200 units. The last 50 units has less things. These are the legends. Not that green lotus inspired shit.
