Proton Wira Project Car Upgrade Plan 2024

Have not updated this blog for a while. In many last post, I was seriously considering selling the old car. 

This is an update on my Proton Wira project car. For those who are wondering, it is still running fine - no problems at all. In fact, I use it as my daily runner. 

However, as most of you car guys are aware, a project car is never finished. 

The dilemma like always is whether I am spending too much on it. Or it might be better off just buy a new car or at least a newer used car.

Anyway, here are my upgrade plans for this year:

1. New central locking. The old one is showing signs of age. For example, when I press the unlock button, it works but the car door knob/ pin does not come up and I still have to use the keys.

2. New brakes for all wheels. They work fine but I can certainly feel the difference after I use our Preve.

3. New front turn signal lights (Left & Right). The bulbs are OK, just that the old ones are yellowing and chipped and look bad.

3. New paint job / or wrap. I am leaning towards the latter as it is cheaper and faster. I can see some rust on the front bonnet and left fender above the tyre.

I will try to do most of the jobs myself but will leave the more difficult ones to the experts.

Wish me luck.
