My Attitude Black GLI 2015

[fouadbakht]

Its all about looks the projector headlamps is same as Toyota Thai Esports model. I have a friend in Thailand on visit these days, he got me the price for those Projectors which is equivalent to Rs. 40k roughly but I guess SHeikh traders and Sarmad is asking insane price.

I will defenitely go for those Projectors if I get a chance to avail them directly from Thai.

Not insane. They just politely ask for a kidney. That's all.

Just received TOYOTA logo door guards today, will put them on very next sunny day. Its raining here in Isloo....

[fawadakbarkhan]

Yeah , he is a nice guy.

I realized that most of the goodies you purchased were from Sarmad, so I just called him and may pay him a visit soon.

Do pay him a visit as yiu wish, but beware, do NOT get ripped off by him. He asks insane price tags very often.

Even if he doesn't, and you sort of feel like getting something installed from him, finalise ALL the charges. Like sill plates, he will install them for you for 3000 Rs and will ask for 500 Rs installation charges when you're leaving with your work done.

And do not pay him nore than 50% advance. My two pieces of advice when dealing with this guy.

^^^ I heard the same about him. It's just that I was also told that he has a good variety. Speaking of variety, does someone here know what's the OEM spoiler like and where and for how much I could get it here for in high quality ABS plastic? Door sills or scuff plates ( Non-LED: 6500/-, LED: 16,700/-) ex Toyota 3S. I mean there are times and places where you know well but you don't have any choice but to get ripped off (in order to make sure that you are getting the real stuff)

Well guys for me, he was acceptable becuase i did a trick with him. I got final quotes from Sheikh f-10, Automart saddar and dubai autos since i have been purchasing stuff from them lately but i never tried Sarmad before.
When I got my GLI. I went straight to sarmad and gave him the written quotes and asked him to tell me what prices you are going to offer. And he goes... leave the quotes, First take whatever you want for your GLI and in the end we will decide the prices. I sais NO Way. we will decide the price first and then install things one by one. He said ok fine. So he had to give me discount on top of the discounted prices which i already got from Sheikh f-10, Automart and dubai autos.

And one more thing guys. You have to pay labour separately whenever you buy something from any autoshop. This is how it is here in PK.

^^^ Good to know you did your homework before hand. The guy at Sarmad, he's "Haroon" I suppose? A very shrewd man.

I had exactly the same situation, I tried to find a handy reborn 2010 model for like 2 months but unfortunately could not find a decent clean ride in isloo so in the end I went for GLI and again just like you I won't regret my decision Alhamdullilah.

This is my first ever Black vehicle that I own, and I can now understand that it is hard to maintain that is why I got it LAMINATED from Carbographics. and now All i need to do is to get it polish once in a month. or after couple of weeks or so.

More imported upgrades are on its way, I will post the pics once I get them.

Polishing or waxing?
Polishing every month is a hectic process. Also polish is a little abrasive so I think car shouldn't be polished that frequently.
Twice a year is good.

Had a trip to isb-Lhr on Motorway last weekend and this is the fuel average I got. Pretty much satisfied,

The speed varies in between from 80km/hr to 160km/hr.

The Final Average ended up at 18.5 km/l when I reached Lahore.
