My Perodua Kancil : Chromaworks Sidewinder

[infinity.melvin]

nice ride bro! may i know what rims are those? im really interested bout it. mind sharing some specs and price? would want to get a similar one :p

 

[JC-20]

Nice work bro! This is the most outstanding car I ever seen before. Moreover you personally design it all by urself...good job.

saw this lil white pie in usj6 this evening.....i was at the other end while jogging my dog.
going to pass by soon again to have a look see....

but seriously its nice bro...honest comment...cos ive seen alot of kancil's
on the road wid L2/L2s L5/L5s bodykits......so its abit common...for yours its
something unique....

hey thanks man, appreciate such compliments from a fellow motorhead.. 2 reason for the uniqueness
,the front bumper is considered very rare. RV4. and a custom version of that bumper is ultra rare then.. hheheh

yea...i hippari~~~~

same here. but only if its a cruiser, do not do it on a racer... kinda a dangerous stunt driving fast on stretched tyres

i agree with Danz...the BK suits the car and the rims suits everything...if i never seen a kancil b4...i'd think it's a proto for a new car.

how much did u spent in total for the whole makeover?

how did u convey yr BK concept to the bodyshop?

wow, now up to proto car.. wah flattered like hell man... anyway the makeover totalled at almost 10K, paint is expensive as hell.. i showed them the above concept drawing, explained thoroughly on want i was looking for, supervised and hands on at some parts. the chief fabricator luckily was a very patient man.. if you r serious about building a kit you have in mind then probably you could hit up to GT Proshop (monster garage) and look for Vincent, price is very much fair ...and his hard work is now all sweet compliments to me now..thanks!

nice ride bro! may i know what rims are those? im really interested bout it. mind sharing some specs and price? would want to get a similar one :p

its actually kinda cheap rims ler, Lenso Project D1 16"x7J pcd 100 / Kumho Ecsta SPT 165/45 R16
Please do understand the rims looks damn good on hippari style, strecthing the tyres makes the outer lip stand out. a wider / higher profile tyre might not looks as good, the selection i made was based on oversizing the rim on a compact car, so it gives maximum effect. price with tyre was if not mistake 2.2K for all corners.. hope this helps

Nice work bro! This is the most outstanding car I ever seen before. Moreover you personally design it all by urself...good job.

Hey JC, thanks on the compliments... like i said earlier, dun dare say it the most outstanding, hehhe i love it for sure and appreciating the comps i get from ZTHians.... as for the design, yup im kinda proud on that side, Chromaworks is my label for Auto designs, so if you see parts label with these then its from me... and its very rare and hard to spot,most on headlamp designs...

anyway here's a clearer pic of my rims

thanks all!

One of the best kancils every running out there, I saw your car when the fenders were all cut off and only on spacers haha!

Kenny if I may make a suggestion, how bout painting the lip of your rims the same color as the body and the spokes black?

i just googled the rim and found several selling in zth and lowyat forum for 17 inch bro. looks good!

 

[TitanRev]

Not a word in the dictionary could describe my expression when I see this car...

4 thumbs up....very clean and organized kit. Clean & poised lines. Originality at its best. Fresh feeling, every parts on the car compliments each other very well. If I were a foreigner and I see this, I would thought that it came as a limited edition car which is so good to be true. Good choice of wheels and nothing fancy and bling on the car. My vote would be definitely on this ride if it was in a car show.

I won't mind getting this car if it's up for sale....

salute to you kenny, for your effort on trying something different and fresh. Very creative indeed. Malaysia could use more creative minds like yours in the automotive industry.

Oh wow, Titan...... .................... .................... ............... You left me speechless with you comments.

well like my explanation earlier, i wanted to keep the OEM look, like it was factory built to such.. it was such a ridiculous dream of wanting to make a desirable machine from the cheapest car in our shores. im halfway thru the journey to that dream. the 2nd part is so much more harder as it requires so much more detail than the exterior.

I Thank You for the compliments above, i do hope that one day the Malaysia auto industry goes the way many successful countries is now in. be it Jap Euro or the US. As for me im just a little guy wanting to make my mark in the game and you guys have made my days much better to come...


THANKS ALL!

lol, its not a car if your thinking so, yeah next time if i see lights i'm just going to ring your bell...

let's have a tea tarik soon for the love of being in usj.....

 

[MacBoy]

It would be an honor to just touch your car =D Of all the Kancil-Mira I see on the roads, this is the most smartest looking, clean and stylish yet simple Kancil yet. 1 in a 10000 Kancils on the road. May I know what software you use to do the designs like the picture posted earlier?

wah bro.. dun lar like that... that be called molesting...hehhehe anyway thanx for the compliments again.. im hoping to get some good shots very soon... hopefully tonight... car still kinda clean...

as for the designing software... im using plain old illustrator to get the job done, take a photo, trace it out (manually) then add on the parts you wanna custom... easy

can bro.. but i dont teh tarik anymore.... chatting no problem... come by...

 

[kennyyeoh]

Okay ppl,

Here's the new set of pictures i took yesterday night... although location was kinda lousy, but at least this is the very first preliminary shoot with this car...

thanks for viewing.. Have a nice day

 

[infinity.melvin]

omg.. nice shots kenny! awesome pearl white paintjob! something from kansai i suppose?
a nice spoiler would be a great addition to match its big butt haha. something like suzuki swift hikari spoiler!

btw, if u dont mind me asking, where did u mod the led for the rear lights and also smoked? i would love to do that as well


i would definitely be watching this space for more pics and some inspiration perhaps

 

[MacBoy]

If one day you see your can having lots of fingerprints......its me XD If and ONLY if I managed to find the car. Manual tracing takes alot of time, no auto trace? My guess was Adobe Illustrator too. Hey if you had to go through muddy roads mai damn cha? =/

bro.. my car is protected with "anti finger technology" and "anti find the car technology" hahhahah
well manual tracing in adobe illustrator is not that hard.. needs a bit of practise to speed up your time.. i did the drawing i posted in no more than 1 hour.. but hey, ive been using illus since ver.6, more than 12yrs now...

Mai Damn Cha??? whats that??

well anyway today was kinda a productive day, thought i would use this space also as my journal as i update the stuff in my car...didnt post this in DIY as it wouldnt be fit to be there.. doesnt apply to other kancils...

anyway heres the project.

Front mudguard project. (not really a mod, more of replacing)
The sidewinder kit required for me to cut out a major portion of my fender, with in turn has resulted with the losing my mudguard (banana leaf) or what ever they call it...i had major problems on wet roads, having water eject out from every single gap, between the headlamp and bumper, door and side skirt... dammit.. it made the car look ugly... and also i could see the bumper from the wheel well and that i cannot stomach..so i went looking around and i got to know that the Proton Waja leafs were only like rm28 a pop... a major deal then...

so i ran down the spare parts shop.. did some minor measurements and it came quite close to what my fenders were running.

anyway today i had sometime and so i did the custom fit, installing the leafs.

dismantling my wheels....

heres where the ugly part lies

here's where i had major water splashing issue..

these for RM56 ...dammit its worth every dime spent

here's the basic tools...

well here's after the installation

rear section... but still not too happy, probably run a rubber mudguard to finish off the gapping

this part looks quite good..

had a roadtest, was raining good this afternoon and sue enough 90% of my water problem has been solved...

feeling good with the OE look.. looks so much

thanks for reading ... cheers...
