I finally can relax after dragging my car makeover for near to 1 year. Reason being? I never parted with my car, I cannot bear to part with my car. Initial workshop told me 3 days. Even that 3 days I couldn’t bear. So I drag the time. Some uncivilized people actually said this to my face “you’re so stingy, small money also not willing to spend for new paint”. What do they know. Money is never a problem to me. I have allocated 3k for new paint since last year. Some stupid fella even ask me to change car. Just because I need a new paint doesn’t mean I need to change the whole car??!! Not that I cannot afford but I love my Jazz so why do I need to change? Why now? Well, I finally gotten a few spare cars to drive around thanks to my job in automotive publishing. The contacts me and my bosses have really helps in getting cars to drive around.
Ok so. Here’s the summary of what I have spent on my car.
1) New original colour paint including mudguard knocking, bodykit dismantle and spray separately & new rubber – RM1,700
2) Rims restoration including knocking with new Hyper Black paint – RM320 (deducted RM30 for bad workmanship)
3) New front tyres 205/40/R17 from Falken – RM203 each. Total RM406 (media special price)
4) New front and back nuts – RM80 per set
5) Wheel alignment & camber adjustment – RM55
6) Car cover – RM38
7) Dog & Cat Repellent Spray – RM23
8) New front plate number – price unknown yet
Total spent – RM2,622!
I collected my car on last Thursday. Drove for a few days then I wash my car on Sunday at my bro’s house. My bro’s car is in my house porch and I have to go to HIS house to wash my car. Weird I know. Anyway, here’s the picture I snapped after washing the car. Sorry for the bad lighting. The car look much better in real though.

| Baby Jazz is all shining after a quick bath! My neighbour said she can spot my car from far =.=” |

| Left rear light which was damaged by a hit & run fker in the parking lot is now fixed. Unfortunately I’m still considering if I should spend RM600 for rear light. Wouldn’t wanna take the risk again. |

| New paint. I still prefer my original paint though. This Hyper Black (with extra black) is not even black! It’s more silver than my original Hyper Silver laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
New tyre from Falken! ZE912 205/40/R17 Changed all nuts to a smaller version as well. I always like to polish my tyres. |
