My dad's cousin got a used 2018 Toyota Camry for $32k. Its the top of the line variant. We're paying 8-9 million for the same car but with lesser options. We can never compare our car market with any international market. The KEI cars we get for millions here are actually less than half the price we're paying for them.

sad reality. Audi interior design is not good that center screen looks bad it looks like as of someone has glued a tablet on to the dash compared to other premium companies

The Audi that you're talking about is the same company that provides their chassis to Lamborghini. R8 shares its chassis with Huracan and Urus is based on the frame of a Q7. So if you're buying an Audi, you're basically getting a cheaper version of a Lamborghini.

Working on mien ae80 corolla from last 2 years
Actually i didn't make a seperate thread, i posted every update on 86 owners fan club and still posting.
Between it a stripped car. Totally restored. Having 5af which i converted to efi. Recently ported and polished the head. Also had made groves. From 2 years it's never being to any mechanic. Spend about 2 lac and alot more needed. Alot of work is still required. But now project is damn slow as my family is not supporting me . She's getting ready for drag.
You can see the car on that forum

Audi interior design recently is actually better than bmw. It was better than Merc too but the new gen cars from merc are pretty good. Bmw interior wise is pretty much behind audi and merc. I especially like audi's virtual cockpit. @abdulmunimqadri does your q7 have the virtual cockpit or is it not available in pk? Ive seen a lot of audis here but they seem to have older speedo designs it is it reserved for the audi rs models?

Btw I'll be following this thread as well as your rx8 one. It's just a shame that the guys from mactec are acting unprofessional.

No bro it doesn't have the virtual cockpit, its not available in Pakistan as a standard option but if you want one, you can build an Audi on their website and get a quote, Audi Pakistan will purchase that car for you as well as import it. Btw I never liked BMW for their interiors. Audi and Mercs design the sickest luxury interiors. I just love the new A8's interior.

Updates from today.
The car was at the workshop at 9:30am sharp because I wanted the car's denting work to be finished today no matter what. The first thing the denter did? He disassembled the driver's door for denting it. It took him the whole day to dent it as it was the roughest among the 4.

abdulmunimqadri (abdulmunimqadri) 2018-10-15 20:10:19 +0500 #91

Dented and bladed after a good wait of 5 hours. The kid worked really hard on the door.

The front bumper has been repaired for as cheap as PKR 600/-
The fitting was as per my expectations and looks neat, masha'Allah.

abdulmunimqadri (abdulmunimqadri) 2018-10-15 20:18:04 +0500 #93

The rusted area was replaced with a new piece, it took the denter 3 hours to complete the task.

Bought a new rear bumper as well today, the old one was too weak to be repaired or fitted again. The cost of the rear bumper was PKR 3700/-
Had to buy new clumps and washers for both the bumpers and they costed me PKR 180/-

What size tires have you installed?

abdulmunimqadri (abdulmunimqadri) 2018-10-15 21:57:35 +0500 #97

This is what the car is looking like with the new bumper. The fitting was easy and not much effort was required. It's made in Taiwan and my denter told me that the quality is better than the Taiwan made stuff sold in the market.

abdulmunimqadri (abdulmunimqadri) 2018-10-15 21:59:06 +0500 #98

The tyre size is 195/65/R15

My cousin bought a Taiwan made rear bumper for his Baleno for almost 5K (after bargaining). But the quality and fitment was literally shit.

abdulmunimqadri (abdulmunimqadri) 2018-10-15 23:47:27 +0500 #100

I've been researching a lot on which parts I'll be buying for the car, so expensive Taiwan made parts were never an option. Quality matters. That's the reason I got my genuine front bumper repaired.

abdulmunimqadri (abdulmunimqadri) 2018-10-15 23:49:19 +0500 #101

After removing the side skirt, the denter told me that I'll have to get half of this rusted panel replaced as well. Added an extra PKR 1200/- to the bill. Thank you, Rustie.
