Paint Touchup & Rims

After my 1K servicing on the car, the next day a friend wanted to meet me for lunch and suggested we head out to Taman Jurong for Fish Beehoon.

And so, in the process of parking, I don't know if its Pandan Crescent jinxed or it's my luck, I scratched my left back body of my car.

21 days into the ownership and driving and I had my first accident.

The sway thing is Sunday morning, I was driving up to Republic Plaza Carpark (which I was there twice including on Friday evening even!) and I mounted the kerb and damaged my rims and the front bodykit. Which at this point of time, I believe Pandan Crescent is a jinxed workshop over me being the jinx.

23 days into the ownership and driving and my 2nd accident.

So fast forward a week later after I came back from BKK (work trip, not transformers visiting trip), I consulted some online community friends from the VOGS - Vios Owner Group Singapore.

One of them recommended me this 'Ah Tee' which mended his Belta earlier. So I gave it a try, and for S$150 he sprayed back my rims, body nicely to a point that you can't see anything unless you go really close and purposely scrutinize the areas that were damaged before.

Location is a bit out, but his spray works are very good, and I'm very happy with it. He was confident in the job and only bothered to ask me where he needs to patch and he mixed the correct colour with the colour code on my car door for patching.

His contact is:





As for my rims, I'm kinda lucky, a friend from VOGS is dekitting his rims for upgrades into 17" and he's going to let me swap with one of his good rims.

My car is now 98% back to the way it was when I collected from warehouse.

Anyway, was also playing with photoshop earlier and edited some images of my existing car to fit in a dream rim. How? Looks nice?
