The New Face....

I told you before that actually I was not really happy with the front bumper design, right?
Ok, after about two years since I started to transform my old Karimun to be The Retro, in August 2009 I drove The Retro to other body shop. It's around Meruya. I forgot the workshop's name, but it's completely not important since now the workshop has been closed... hahahaha....

Remember the first design which inspired me to change my Karimun look in to a retro style? The white-blue Wagon-R? This time I write down the precised design. Not only for the front bumper, but also the rear one.

The third day after I brought The Retro in, they successfully managed to build the mocking. Like these ones :

The front mocking

The rear mocking
I totally replaced the rear lamps. I ordered the whole LED lamp design from a lamp specialist at Duta Mas Fatmawati for 600k rupiah a pair. It was based on a 5" head lamp, had the reflector replaced by a PCB contained of about 70 LEDs. It provides a night lamp, turn signal lamp, brake lamp, and reverse lamp, all at one. It was finished by smoke layer. Cool, eh..??

On the front bumper I used the chromed stripes from motorcycles accessories. So after a week, The Retro has a new face...



I also replaced the oval-shaped muffler tip into rounded tip...

And here's the handsome one..... hehehehe....


Alright... enough for exterior and interior works... *planning other projects for it....*
