Admittedly the topic has strayed, then again so do most forums' threads. There is, however, always the option to NOT read the thread in it's entirety. DUH. Sarcasm begets sarcasm. Touche.

Re: Proton Wira Limited Edition Replica....

Finally, after numerous of sanding and putty filling, i manage to primer and sprayed it glossy black.
the things i add are
1) front lip
2) gas lid tank cover (thanks to kaho for the tip )
3) conversion from the 1st generation lamps to the newer tail lamps.
4) new front grill
5) triangle mirrors







there are some orange peels but can be fix....

Re: Proton Wira Limited Edition Replica....

Nice touch adding the front lip, post up pics of the tail-lamps when you're done.
