Kia Picanto... who else bought one?
-
A**hole. This bidder I think is a lousy and timid f**ker. Or very lousy in prediction.Originally posted by jazz3011:mine too...also $27,110
-
what ....these guys bidded $27,110 ?
only a few hundreds from the actual COE price of $27,769 (1st bid July) -
Have anyone consider spraying the black mirror bracket and the strip of black bumper along the doors to the same color of the car? I came across a few at Ang Mo Kio industrial area, where they do panel work for accident cars.Originally posted by mini-sized:Earlier msg said that color of white, black n cobalt blue would arrive this month...while other colors would come in Aug shipment.......
Anyone know of any high quality paintwork shop?
By the way, the first week when I DO get my car, these are the plans...
1. High quality spray paint for the mirror bracket and door bumper strips
2. Solar film for windscreen and windows (CoolnLite @ $600++)
3. UltraShield protection (pre-order at Ultrashield promo this month for discount) ($488 with 20%)
4. Remote car alarm with central locking + remote ignition controller (undecided - $250)
That's all for now, anyone has other bright plans for your car?

I have nothing. Just a $300 petrol voucher that they are suppose to give and a $300 petrol voucher from the lucky draw. All these on Roadshow at Century Square. And furthermore I took up the luxury package ($3000) which they still can 'Uentong' few hundred from there. And further furthermore I have a car( toyota Corolla) for them to scrape which I think they still can 'Uentong' some more.Originally posted by jazz3011:My SA jus called....he said the price they bidded dep on the freebies we r given....he said those who get a standard package already got the COE... -

Dear all brothers,
Sad 2 heard lots of u guys never get d COE. My SA called me up this morning saying that my shipment will b delay til early september instead of Aug (lucky i not in a hurry 4 d car). He told me there's only 10 pica available (mostly silver & black colour) in the July shipment. Another 100 Pican will be arrive around end aug. So dun worry, still got time to go. They'll surely bid 4 u 1, or they'll earn $0 fr u.

Tuff KoteOriginally posted by mini-sized:My priority will be your point 2 follow by point 3. Plus, considering doing tuff kote....Point 1 also interested but depends on the pricing....

Every time your car moves even the best galvanized protection, sealers and sealants at the joints may crack and get eroded away by the vibration.
The pollution and salt-air in Singapore make these areas rust faster.
Tuff-Kote can thoroughly rustproof the repaired areas especially at the tight corners as only Tuff-Kote unique material can penetrate 40mm upwards and kills existing rust at the same time. -
Yes, I heard of V-Shield. Well, they are quite different compared to Ultrashield. "V-Shield is a glossy, clear, self-adhesive polyurethane plastic film, laser-cut to fit your car's shape exactly, it goes on top of the critical impact surface areas of your car such as the front bumper, headlights, grille and bonnet. It is not a wax or polish."

Vin, heard of v-shield? dunno how much they charge?
The promo of ultrashield is till when?
However, V-shield only protect the "critical impact surface areas". That means, your top (roof), sides (doors) and back (boot door) will not be protected.
Ultrashield is wax and polish! They give you a package of one shield protection on your first polish (I suppose, it's a very strong layer of polish), and follow by five maintenance polishes. To do a job like this, proper wax, equipments and most importantly; the skills required will be critical. And remember, by buying a maintenance package, you have a period of up to 18 months to use your polishes. The rest of the time, you just need to rinse, shampoo then rinse your car again. Quick and easy.
In Singapore, time is money
The UltraShield promotion is on July 10(Sat) - July 11(Sun), as quoted from SGKIACLUB FOR SALE forum. I think I better not do any advertisement here; don't want this post to be moved anywhere

Sorry sifu an hour plus 33 min late to wish u happy birthday. It seem like they did not get your birthday present 4 u. Really sad to c our picanto gang did not get the coe again.Not a problem there always a tomorrow and there always a nex bidding hopfully this time all pica owner will get their coe
As wst i know abt the last coe bidding, di u all notice for last bidding most of the picanto gang who got the coe are those who book for auto cars.This is due to the price they paid for the car is higher than the estimated price of c&c. which means when c&c order the picanto from the kia company they had not receive an exect price of but auto and manual but when the car came the manal price is the same but the auto 1 was much lower that y they earn quite a lot from the quoted price.therefor they can bid for us at a much more higher price. But this is what i heard form my friend working there how true is it hee hee heee i dun know?????

then , u heard of system 6 by tuff clad?? Tuff kote also done by them.....
think the best would be having both tuff kote and system 6 or ultrashield...system 6 1st time is $150 ,sub is every 6 mths at $60 (this is based on 2003 px, dunno got increase a not) -
I've not tot of doing anything to the car yet. But now considering it after reading u ppl idea.
"the best paint protection and shine system* that money can buy. A British aviation newsletter reported that Amazing Glaze “Protects the paint, giving the aircraft a smarter appearance, while making washing easier and increasing the life span of the paintwork.” Findings also showed the product also preserved the glossiness of the paint." http://www.speed.com.sg/SpeedMag/features/truly_amazing.shtml
Have anyone heard about amazing glaze, wanted to try it out later but first any comments? -
Amazing glaze should be the same as vshield- car paint protection sheet...Originally posted by picapica:I've not tot of doing anything to the car yet. But now considering it after reading u ppl idea.

Juz received a quote from v-shield on pican, it costs $580 with full installation.
Under normal circumstances, it can last till 3 years.
Can wax but discourage hard polishing.
So which is better to choose? Choose v-shield and cleaning/waxing pkg or to get ultrashield (wax & polish)? -
U can ask Margaret ********Originally posted by mini-sized:Amazing glaze should be the same as vshield- car paint protection sheet...
Numbers deleted. Please use pte msg -
margaret is from amazing glaze?Originally posted by picapica:U can ask Margaret ******** -
yes, she's the lady boss.Originally posted by mini-sized:margaret is from amazing glaze?
Quoted at $350-$380 may have to add extra $80 if there is water mark when the car arrives.
Just need to wash and shampoo frequently to maintain the shine, no need waxing and will last for a year. -
You must understand, both of these products are really quite different. If i have to choose one, definitely will take up the Ultrashield. However, I understand Vshield will ultimately protects better in terms of pebbles when driving.Originally posted by mini-sized:Juz received a quote from v-shield on pican, it costs $580 with full installation.
