Out of Surgery

My ride is finally out of the delicate procedure of installing all the audio systems and alarm, plus fog lamps. Wow! An amazing 3 weeks of intensive planning and setting up of the system to create an absolutely minimalist interior.

Now i’m preparing it for a fresh new coat of black paints before going for the logo installation.

How’s this?

And this?

Nice isn’t it?

Sports Rims

I’ve found a great shop, Southern Tyre Co., willing to go to the distance searching for the ideal rims for my ride. Since my PCD is 98 which is the uncommon dimensions as compared to 100 and 114.3, Raymond, the shopkeeper of the shop, assisted in hunting for the rims that could fit this ride of mine

He came up with this following model:

Borbet CB 65×15 98-4H ET35

Not the 5 hole version as shown above since Fiat comes with only 4 holes steel rims. It makes things even difficult and costly to get. One dilemma in getting these rims is that we had to make it look subtle that the authorities cannot detect right away, while enjoying a ride that has sports rims.

This is somewhere close to how it’s going to look like

Carplate Holder Designs

Just came up with this design for the carplate holders. I’ll try it with the one on top first and see if it works. Once done, I’ll probably mass produce it for my fellow forumers

Registration Day!

Hey I’ve got my registration number already! So excited… Not entirely fantastic number combination but it does save a little money especially when doing system bets 12 permutations

It’s been 2 weeks in the “grooming centre” doing up its audio and interior decorations. Security has been installed, while they are still doing the audio and video component of the system

Rear Design for My Ride

Here’s the prototype for the rear design
