Uncle Ben, side protector can protect cars parking beside from knocking their doors on your door?

Think that's the idea. But then you know how good we Sporeans are. Sure will find a way pass the protector and leave a dimple or a scratch despite all the protection we put in place.

Haha, good things got to share. Me wanted to get the bodyside moulding but it gives a sporty look but not necessary better look.

Going back for 5k servicing soon.. looking for window visor, mudguard, alsothe legacy B4 grille looks amazing  :that-dood-is-up-to-something:

 

Any Bro here have lobang for after market rather than buy for MI?

 

Maybe can arrange a GB?

(3) sound insulation ... Good

(4) bumpy - think tyre pressure too high

(5) new car smell .. Not nice. Maybe coz local leather or mats..

(7) met a red outback on Braddell viaduct and a white outback at sunset way/Clementi road

(8) now hunting for bumper guards

4. I adjust the tyre pressure the day after collection, set as recommended near driver's door and it feel so much comfortable. Mine at front 230/ back 220 and so far steady 11km+ or 8.7 ltr/100km.

Now the question is :

 

(1) side protector ($180) vs bodyside molding $360)?

 

ðððð

I would go with the $180 rubber side protector.. its thicker than the $350 painted type...if your car is grey or black.. fits perfectly. If its white.. just plastidip

 

And once it has a chip.. can always redo the plastidip. The expensive type will have a paint chips

Good view. The plastic painted type on my last car has lots of unsightly dents and chips over the years. Maybe this time I shall try the rubber type instead.

 

Sometime it's the elders or little kids in the other car opening their car doors without due care for cars parked beside them (witnessed a few times). I'm also wary of lorry or vans. But usually no choice have to park...so limited parking lots everywhere.

Hi Guys,

1. Any idea where to fit the Anti-theft Fuel Cut off Switch? I had a rental car which has a remote switch to toggle on/off the fuel supply. The Insurance company has also got this remote cut off function if the car exit Singapore. (think through GPS signal, just like phone remote shutdown)

 

2. Any one stop shop to get the accessories. Are these from MI? Have been following the sharing here and will like to get these:

- Bumper guard.

- Rubber Side Protector (shared as above at $180).

- Wheel lock

-Solar Film

 

Is this Subaru official website?

if u want a manual on/off switch, any decent workshop can install a switch in-line with the fuel pump electrical power supply.

 

if u want remote one, I hv no idea.

 

either way, I am sure MI will not like the fiddling with the electrical wiring. If they find it, they will likely void the car's warranty

Hi Bro,

You buying a new outback or you have a second hand beauty?

 

If your current ride its out of warranty then it ok to fiddle. The fuel thingy linked to GPS looks a bit weird unless u r in the car rental biz.

 

If you are looking for a one stop shop can try autobacs. They are in Bukit Batok and in Ubi.

 

As for the site, definitely not from Motorimage.n not sure whether it's official
