  Real brand is Perodua, Kelisa. Some people painted it like a MINI. o_O Frankly, it's a lot cheaper too.

  Actually about half the kelisa in Singapore have 2 tone colour. White-blue, black-white, black-gold are the common ones. More rare ones are black-silver and black-yellow (super rare).
  
  There are also other mod that people do to make it more mini-like.

  That is because there is only about 700 (2 tone, 1 tone, whatever!) of them in Singapore. Compared to the number of cars in Singapore, it is very hard to spot them.
  
  I have being trying to spot them for the last 2 months, only managed to see 1. It overtook my taxi near the ECP and AYE linking point. The rest I see is in the showroom, or below my block. Someone who live near me have it.
  
  Keep your eye open, you are going to see more. Just don't mistook them for the old March. The single tone ones really look similar.

  Hmm...My house the mscp downstairs have one black-yellow one kelisa. Also thought it was a mini when I first saw it. Didn't know it was "super-rare"
  
  As compared to blue-white and black-white kelisa that I saw, the black-yellow one look so much better and convincing. You can try to spot it around Jurong East and Clementi area, saw it a couple of time on the roads in these areas
  
  Suppose this one can go into the sighting of rare car too...

  Very rare? I see about one or two everyday...

  Although I see the black-yellow one almost everyday at my mscp, I am not able to spot another black-yellow kelisa elsewhere...so I guess YES.
  Not that Kelisa are rare, but the color tone on kelisa that is rare.

  Why I said that black-yellow is rare because the 2 tone comes in limited edition. The common colour for Kelisa is White, Blue and Gold. So the 2 tone with these colours are relatively more, at an additional price. Where as for the black-yellow one, unless it is the limited edition one, you have to re-spray the whole car for it. More costly.

  I would like to have one actually...but I want to fit a roll-cage so that it doesn't become blue-and-white Apom-Apom easily in a prang.

  looking @ the picture again, the back + side looks rather like the mini, but the front is real different.

  This is the one...yellow-black Kelisa... Quite convincing as mini with its alloys rims and two tone colour. This one is the closest than any other colour.
  Anyone seen this before anywhere???

  its the limited kelissa edition la, not owners go paint themselves...but they probably did some mods to make it look even convincing, but with closer look, you should be able to differentiate...

  That's hogwash. The Kelissa is based on the Daihatsu Cuore.
