Can i get some help just like powerwoot above,

1) Where to buy front lights ( brand new ) and the round lights at front bumper
2) Sport rims - (it comes with plastic cover now) I want 5 spoke stainless steel vossen type rims
3) Engine mounting - (proton glenmarie said they only have bottom pce only, the left and right no more selling )
4) HU - what is the best android Hu you guys are using - and where to buy the bracket
5) Raytech cs series quote today rm1200 front windscreen 85% heat rejection and rest 75% or (is cannycool ok for half the price?)

6) where do you guys buy spare parts for persona in subang or usj

wow, you got a huge budget over there. But I would recommend to give priority to any engine parts first rather than any comestics. I believe 2009 is a gen2 version am I right?

umm not sure, its a full sized sedan gray color. Not gen 2.

I only have rm2500 to spend the rest will have to wait until September.

So i want to do the mounting, lights and Hu first, i cant take to see the bit of yellowish on lights biggrin.gif

oh yes the aircon blower too, its cold but a bit weak in blowing air out - Proton Glen said its Rm444 for the blower.

When i drove it today slight vibration going on the engine and dash. But very very solid sturdy car, reminds me of the polo sedan feel when driving.

is this car "'iafm"? and must i do anything in the engine area...like change something?

I would suggest you made an improvement to your engine drivability first

1) Check whether you need to do top overhaul which this can be done at either Proton SC (price on the high side) or Zordaq (at Subang area)
2) Replace engine mountings (EA Autoworks, Puncak Jalil or Zordaq)
3) Replace IAFM
4) Headlights and foglamps, Proton original and third party also can (the third party have many designs to choose from, can look for it at Lazada)
My humble opinion based on 9 years ownership hehe biggrin.gif

1) will take it to Proton to run diagnostics and see if it needs overhaul... its below 90k in km"age"
2) yes sure doing it
3) not sure what this thing is - will ask Proton
4) yes doing it

Thanks ask dino thumbsup.gif

I got a feel the vibration is due to rubber engine mounting when at low rpm or idling. The infamous noise of our persona usually  came from any of this either iafm, purge canister or belt retention. The mechanic can tell you which of it need to be care of. Good luck.

Osram H4 night breaker not lasting and usually burnt within 1 year. Suggest to get GE Megalight Ultra 130% which is lasting. Bought mine on early year 2017 and still ok, been night drive outstation few times.
