Thank you all for liking it

@42Street. Thanks for the offer bro but even at the current height, with a couple of people sitting at the back the car sometimes touches its belly at speed bumps. And since its a daily driven car, I wont be able to lower it any more so coilovers wont do me much good.

AoA Sir! This is no doubt one of the nicest charade i've ever seen. Okay here is the thing sir, i'm also planning to buy a charade 87 or 88 aka (Anda Shape) and then do the whole swapping process, but the problem is i have limited budget (around 3,25,000) plus i'm a newbie to the swaps thing and there are a lot of other questions that i have in mind. So i really need your help in this regard. Kindly give me your number so that i can talk to you.

Haris Sent you a PM.

@Hamza91. Thanks mate The tail lights are the same ones that came with the car. I've opened them, cleaned them and buffed the lens. As far as I remember, the garnish was somewhere around 1500.

@HarisNaveed. Thanks bro. Skullbox is my brother he has pmed you his number. Though I would like to add here that nowadays, you would need a budget little higher than you currently have because the prices of cars in good nick have really gone up and so have the prices of spares. Your best bet would be to find a diesel charade (G101 or a G100 that currently has a diesel engine in it) because that would be cheaper and the money that you'll save, you can spend that on the swap and gradually keep spending on it as and when you have more budget to spend.

bro did u heat up the lights to open them or not????? and till the same shine as in the pics.......?????

hamza91 (hamza91) 2011-12-01 14:44:31 +0500 #149

and any idea about the london model lights an garnish?????

OwaisYunus1 (Owais_Yunus) 2011-12-01 23:11:25 +0500 #150

@Hamza91. There are screws at the back of the lights which need to be opened and then I dipped the lights in boiling water to release the glue holding the lens. You'll see that in the old pics, the reverse lights are very yellowish. I sanded them and buffed them with cutting creme along with the rest of the light. The lights still look good as new.
I dont have much idea about the London model lights and chances are that you wont be able to find them new and would have to get them used.

thnx bro for telling me how to open them up thats what i was asking u well any screw driver needed to get the lens out or it will come out by hands after the boiling water phase??????

OwaisYunus1 (Owais_Yunus) 2011-12-02 13:14:18 +0500 #152

You will need a couple of flat head screwdrivers to pry open the light. But be careful not to apply too much pressure at a time because once you've taken the lights out of boiling water, the plastic of the housing would have become soft because of heat so excess amount of pressure can cause the plastic to deform.

Can you post any pic of lower brace?

OwaisYunus1 (Owais_Yunus) 2014-06-08 06:06:55 +0500 #157

Unfortunately, I dont have any pic of the lower brace installed. It wasnt a good design anyway since it had to be routed below the exhaust pipe which meant it was hanging too low and it got bent after it hit a rock on the road. Now however, if I were to get a brace with the 2nz, it would be a different story because the exhaust starts after the area where the brace is installed and it would not need to hang too low.

hmm so bro what difference did you note before and after the brace?
and overall which setup would you prefer?
the old efe series or these new nz series?

The chassis starts to feel more taut after installing the braces. The major difference would be visible to people who race around corners though.
Since of late I'm more inclined towards fuel economy and smoothness so I'd prefer nz over the efe. And for some reason, the more complex the engine is, the more I like it However, if I were to choose based on performance only, then the efe takes the cake because of its low end torque.
