Oh Boy!

SP has been running fine and I am struggling to find time to drive it. On one occassion after tuning, I took it to work and decided to see how fast can it go. So gently coaxed it on 5th gear to about 225 km/h and suddenly heard a noise, looked at the rear view mirror and the driver side roof weather strip got ripped out by the wind force. Darn it! Slowed down and maintained a steady 120 -130km/h and got to work. Called Proton to ask for replacement weather strip and was quote RM 544.00 per side! Oh boy, apparently its MMC item so thats why its a lot more expensive. So will only have time to collect the weather strip next week, meanwhile this is how SP looks currently.


Clips exposed, looks unsightly without the weather strip

Some of you may spot the new addition to SP as well. Will cover that on my next posting!
