A Myvi transformed

KUALA LUMPUR: Nasir Zulkifli, 39, has a Myvi. But it's not just any Myvi.

This is one Perodua you won't find rolling out of the factory floor.

It has hydraulic suspension to lower or raise the car; scissor doors and chromed engine.  And all the bling-bling in the cabin to make its owner proud.

Nasir with his Myvi showcar.

You see, the black Myvi is rather special. It's a showcar that uses a Myvi as a base and has been modified to the max.

Nasir said he took a year to bring the Myvi to showcar specs and has already spent RM50,000 on the mods.

Looking at the amount of money spent, his wife disapproves of it, of course, but Nasir rationalised that he was spending only disposable cash that he has earned to indulge in his passion.

So that's that!

The most expensive part of the car is the hydraulic system fitted on both axles that cost RM9,000 to install.

But to Nasir, a property negotiator, all the changes have been money well spent, as the Myvi has won a number of local showcar contests.

Although the car didn't win at the Auto Salon Night held at the just ended Star Motor Carnival, Nasir is not disheartened.

The trophies the car has garnered so far is a reminder to him that the Myvi may still have its day in the sun another day. click
