Thnks a gazillion. I'm guessing since "change car alarm" is in that list, there is something wrong with the current one? If so, then I would recommend changing your car alarm first. No point doing everything else if one day the car goes missing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thnks a gazillion. MY view Respray whole car (first, as it need to disassemble most part of your ride) Leather seat upholsery (last as it may get dirty, scratch during install of ICE and other stuffs.) The rest are independent of each other. Usually, ICE and alarm are done at the same shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samlimlp 2nd Gear December 25, 2012 Share December 25, 2012 Hi guys..need ur expert opinion here Im doing this few things to my 6 year old ride -Respray whole car -Leather seat upholsery -In car entertainment (Current cd player kapoot) -Sound proofing -Chnge car alarm So which one do I do First??? Thnks a gazillion. Mine is a 6 year old car. I did in the following order : 1. Change alarm 2. Respray whole car (same colour) 3. Change CD player to an DVD+GPS system. For leather upholsery, I had mine done one a year when send my car for waxing, as that same shop (in Punggol Plaza basement 2 carpark) also do leather cleaning.......

Thnks a gazillion. I wud do mechanicals then electrical then interior n last paint. I paint last in case e other works end up damage yr shiny new paint. But like what others hv said....since yr car already 6 yrs old...dun spend too much doing it up cos very soon u wil scrap. Just do those really necessary n keep yr cash fr yr next car. Unless u confirm going to renew coe in 6 yrs time. Edited December 26, 2012 by Pisces69 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvingoh45 Clutched December 26, 2012 Share December 26, 2012 (edited) Do alarm,sound proofing and radio first as most likely they will be from the same shop.After that do painting.

He kept them on the seats When i was younger many pple wud leave the plastic covers on their seats to protect them n keep them looking new till ty became e butt of jokes cos u pay extra fr nice comfortable seats n cover wh hot sticky plastic to keep them new. So sua ku. Then ty prob felt shy when pple used to laugh at them n e practice stopped. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
