3 days ago - it was kind of a mix feeling - I used to see her in spick & span . Now she looked so beaten up ! :eek: but as the saying goes , it will get worse before it gets better !

Will go & she again maybe on Tue . More transformation pixs to come...BTW , the workshop promised me to have her ready by this Sat . It was a loooong 2 weeks !
 
aiyoo...shit do happen one way or the other bro megatniza...it takes more than sheer guts and determination to hand ur pride n joy to a paint shop...trust me bro megatniza...haha welcome to the color fraternity bro *cheers* :)
 
Wow! What looks like a perfect car weeks ago are now been patched at more than 100 spots to make it an even more "perfect" car.. :eek:

Do they do the engine bay and boot internal color too?
 
Ves ,
Yes , next week we should line up our cars together with Karim's white cabriolet for a photo shoot !

Astroboy ,
The 1st photo is kind of deceiving . It looks "perfect" in the sunlight but the car
had been panel sprayed here & there since I got it 3 years ago - so there are some
panels that are glossy than others . I intend to keep the car for at least another 2-3
years - sounds like a good idea to have it whitewash !
Yes , the engine bay & boot internal will be painted too .

Cheers !
 
bro mienoz ,

the workshop owner must be thinking that i am a freaking lunatic & do
not trust him...so many visits , some more take photos ...
no laar - he knows me well & my antics as all my previous cars ( 4? 5? kinda of lost track - he he he ) were also "maintained" by him .

cannot laar ..not up to spec ( yet ! ) he he he ...

anyway , the workshop called me at about lunch time today ...
while trying fix back the front windscreen
( yes , he took it out to fix new rubber linings & some rustproofing along the frame edges ) it CRACKED !
But to be fair , he did forewarned me on the chances of this happening .
After a few phone calls , managed to get a NEW one for RM300 .
Malaysia made ( believe it's from MSG ), double layer . Not too bad as
the old screen had lots of scratches & chips anyway ..
BTW , Tian Siang Ipoh quote me RM700 together with workmanship ..
siao aaar ???? :stupid:

I have some new pixs from today visitation but photobucket seems to be having some glitches . Had been trying to upload for the last 30 mins
-will try again tomorow .
 
the windscreen was insured...rite bro megatniza? haha
pls upload all the images...cant wait to see the finish product :)

nice...

i would prefer the front bumper grille to be black instead of white. Same goes for the rear skirting. Got some contrast.
 
Aiks.... did u change the kidkey grill to facelift smaller type? Seem u are keeping the old big nose... :eek:
