What a beautiful car and colour MashAllah! IMC introduced this colour just a week after I got delivery of my GLi, otherwise I would have gone for this colour for sure

Just a friendly bit of advice, the chromey bit on the front grill looks really cheap. I would remove it if I were you to reveal the enhanced feline front look of the car.

Other than that, please tell which tyres you have installed in your car and what profile?

This regd plate is not looking good bro.

I hate the fancy regd plates....simple is better I guess...

Thanks bro, the chrome as per my liking looks good on this color. The tyres are Yokohama AVS DB V550, 205/60/15. Simply the best tyres for smooth, quite and grippy drive

Brother, royal shield treatment almost destroys the clear coat of the paint. It makes the car more vulnerable to scratches. Your car is Masha ALLAH brand new with a beautiful shade. You can conserve this paint and finish for a long time by yourself.

What you need to do this ?

Never wipe the car with a dry cloth. (always use a damp one as it won't make scratches)
Always use a microfiber cloth (normal cloth is harsh for the car, the car's body need a soft cloth like microfiber or terry towel if it is 100% cotton)
Use a good shampoo (turtle, mothers or megs) to wash the car, then dry it using a microfiber, then apply a good quality wax (turtle, mothers or megs) on your car and that is it. You will have to apply wax just once a week.
During the week, when your car gathers dust, dont just wipe it, use a detailer spray (turtle, mothers, megs or armour all) to wipe the dust. It will make the car shine.

ill agree with above members that get of the front chrome pati... instead get the chrome stripes on the grill. they look more decent and stylish too. the rear chrome pati is good though

Undoubtly the colour and outlook is very impressive in this model,MashaAllah...........but the interior and dash board (knobs etc) is not very impressive in new models......old and same design of XLI is seen except lil wood panels in it.....your car looks very nice with new additions..keep it up

lodhi7 (lodhi7) 2012-01-30 12:38:23 +0500 #116

I completely endorse your comments...

Lodhi bhai try this shop: New Dubai Autos, I-8, Markaz, Islamabad. Although i think it will be a bit expensive, but do tell him that you are a PakWheeler and you can get some discount.
