Anyone of you replace the with stiffer coil spring and shocks? I dislike the body roll, not really confidence to tackle corner sad.gif

Why bodykit only? I prefer Proton release SE editon with bodykit + sports suspension... lowered ground clearance, stiffer coil tongue.gif

i wondering since our blm paint is said to be very thin, so izzit we cant do much polishing lo, cos everytime polish will reduce the thickness of the paint?
roughly how many times?

By hand or machine to polish? By hand, you hardly remove any paint.

Normal vehicle there's 30-50microns of clear coat(transparant layer).

Depends on the skilled person and paint condition, how much paint should they removed? I sent my PerSoNa for detailing to celebrate 1st year anniversary, the job took more than 5hours in total but abit costly..
Some detailing have paint thickness eletronic gauge, ask them to show how much paint your car left.. brows.gif icon_idea.gif

PROTON, they used KANSAI brand paint. The clear coat is very soft, more prone to scratches..

CBU Mercedes, Volkswagen with hard clearcoat...the paint really shine..

SE waste money only

You make sense.Let's do a simple calculation. Base(N-Line) Saga around rm32k, MLine rm40k.

Assume SE selling at rm43k, it is rm11k(= 34%) difference over n-line. They have got it wrong, the 34% additional price means plenty of accesories being Rip off from the standard car, you are force to purchase the so-called "High spec" version..

Persona SE also something like the case you mention

Yeap, correct.

this is what i recall from AutoCar Asean review, by Mr.Faisal.

"With the list price that's nearly 33percent higher than the base model, you could be forgiven for thinking Proton is looking at cashing in by charging a premium for what is basically an accesories package" laugh.gif doh.gif sweat.gif

Worth it or not, the money is yours..think twice *wink wink*...
