off topic. yesterday go to proton Sales Centre. The new proton exora, looks really impressive. got DVD player some more. is dat standard unit even with the medium line?

i'm planning to get solid white, how do i maintain so my paint will look as shiny as possible?

cant see what they did...i told the person the sound is coming from the door locking/handle parts....
then saw them drive my car with the door trim off...
the invoice wrote "adjust regulator"...

i'm interested in purchasing a BLM within the 2nd half of this year. I will be choosing the Metallic Auto version. This is because I have not driven for nearly 3 years and a manual would be a bit hard to familiarize again.

Is the Auto version severely underpowered and is there unusually high petrol consumpiton for it?

wax oftenly so that the shiny-ness won't fade, peotect the paint...otherwise it will become normal paint back

i think ur fc a bit better than me/ mine around rm45 goes only 290km.

try going 85KM/H...it's better
cuz 80 is the point where IAFM open and close....so recommended to go over abit to maintain open

Lets say i get a solid white paint, then i wanna change it to metallic colour in the future, how much will it normally cost?

because for MT metallic and solid paint differs about RM 2000

toobad
normally skin paint (only the outlook) around rm900-1200.if whole car..rm1800-2000...to maintain solid white, u need time and effort.wax it, wash it and keep it at a proper way.sound stupid and nonsense, but thats the way.

SerioseCat
it shud be a fast machine.lol.juz get used to it and manage the gear ratio properly, it wont fail u.

MR_alien
i dun really wax, unless its a scratch or blur surface.normally with shampoo wash, we wax.if only water wash, dun need kua..my 2 cent only.

where got bro solid and metalic diff only by RM450

brand new Saga BLM 1.3 M-Line AT Solid RM41 048, Metalic RM 41 498 : Diff 450
M-Line MT Solid RM38 498, Metallic RM 38 998 : Diff 500

thanks for the tip mate

from my opinion lah....if u want metallic paint in the future...i would recommend u just directly get metallic
it's very troublesome for u to find cheap paint and respray it is gonna cost almost the same also

Greetings SiuYi,
Does it mean that in order to maintain the Solid White car body, I will need to spend money on waxing it ? .. Once it is being waxed, will the effect shines something like a metallic car ? ..
I am currently planning to get Solid White, easier for Bodykit modification I presume.

ya....what i mean is shampoo wash...in those wash car shop...cuz i send to wash
my house doesn't allow to wash....haizzzz

waxing is to protect your paint from fading....make the paint look like the 1st time u take the car....shiny
cuz solid paint is normal paint....it's not suppose to shine...so u need to protect it

Currently I was thinking to choose in between Solid and Metallic paint. Which one to go for .. coz Metallic seems to easily get dirty as well if parked outside exposed to the weather.

i dn't think it's a matter of solid or metallic paint lah
it's the paint itself easy dirty.....i dn't why also car nowadays the paint really easy to get dirty
just look at vios black....very easy to get dirty...right?
so if dn't want to get dirty easy..get another colour...like silver or blue...not very easy to get dirty
black nowadays dust also can see clearly.....lol

Haha .. this one I agreed lar ~
Color does play its role in terms of cleanliness .. I guess I better stick back to my option for Silver color. White looks nice but need lots of care and attention.
