This set of photoshopped images confirm that our resident graphic artist Theophilus Chin is a crackhead :P I suppose if Nissan and Mitsubishi can create drop top versions of their tall-ish B-segment hatchbacks (the Micra C+C and the Colt CZC respectively), it’s probably not too insane for Theophilus to dream of a drop top Perodua Myvi… or not!
But seriously, Theo had nothing to do so he whipped up these photoshopped images just for fun. But what do you think? Would anyone buy something like this?
Two more images can be found after the jump.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I’m not a crackhead, i only smoke crack!
well done theo.
i like the amount of bootspace available too. ample space to stash a bunch of coke and pot in. XD
theo,super clean chop man!you use mouse or tablet pen?
i really fell in love with ur uber-clean style…
give some tips la!
The rear passenger headroom could’ve to low or to cramp for an adult. And with our dusty, hot environment, it will not sell well i guess.
These small convertibles are all 2+2 anyway, like the 207CC. Only the 308CC fits 4 adults properly.
if P2 can do this by themselves in real life, gonna really respect them.
slice and dice. lol.
wats next , proton mpv losses its roof as well ?!!
or a kancil pickup?!!
nice, but usually rear seats have little or no space in drop top cars. Yours has a healthy space there:P
e-nabilll.. skrg pun dh ade kancil pikap beb.. if im not mistaken laa, kat midvalley ade..
chaku/maru, I use mouse, but would love to use tablet pen, if can afford one, or if company thinks I do well (appraisal soon).
If I remember correctly, the cabriolet version of Punto generation one, (seen mostly in yellow in Malaysia in late 90s), was not that tight in the rear for Asian adults. But true, other supermini cabriolets are mostly 2+2.
Now, the only spacious supermini cabriolet, though not available in Malaysia, would have to be Citroen Pluriel.
Having fabric roof helps too in terms of storage.
Certainly interesting but definately not nuts. I suppose KL (or M’sia) is not very conducive to be exposed to the weather, hence the lack of any serious manufacturer (or P1 or P2) to consider this segment.
To me this concept is akin to the 206 cc or 207 cc. I can see the folding roof idea is taken from either a mini or a beetle cab, whilst the back seat reminds me of a Z4’s, which is funny because the back seats actually looks better than the front.
Nonetheless, very cohesive redesigning for which this particular model was never meant to be. Good job.
Theo, if u dun mind me asking, where r working and as what?
the 2nd pic really looks like savvy….
Nice man! I wish I had your eye for detail and talents!
si-fu, I’m an Aesthetic Engineer in Singapore…
Kidding, i’m a Cheras beng, working as a graphic designer with a welfare association in Singapore.
hmmm… nice output there.
but it sure need a more power as a heavier body on a cab.
BTW, a 2 door MyVi also look nice.
Interesting! I want to give suggestions (since my photoshop skills are crappy!).
Longer doors – to give more coupe-like profile.
The window between B and C pillar (usually small, triangular, in cabriolets) can usually be lowered. In this case it’s a little too big to be lowered because there’s not enough space to accommodate it.
The rear taillights looked abit chopped – redesign and streamline it with the cabrio profile (especially with the absence of C-pillar).
And… I want folding hard-top, boleh ka? *GRINS*
Btw, have always loved your work.
Nice. Will consider buying one if priced below 80k with current Myvi 1.3 DVVT automatic.
Nice job Theo….. keep it up !!!! Theo, can u come up with more graphics with proton cars…..
theo, how about making a 2 door hard top coupe, much like the copen, haha
cabriolet with 1.3 engine?
what a joke.. lol!
I like it xD

Haha! Lucky you Theo!
Si-Fu is trying to recommend you as car designer at Proton!

—————————-
no need to get all serious bro.. its only a ‘concept’ styling drawing done by theo. the engine can be anything you want.
I would love to buy this car if it’s really available. Nice. Couple it with the 600cc TC engine will be lovely.
the first pix looks like mini..theo, u work in international ad agency ar?
Nope, just a humble welfare association, doing their funraising events’ publicity materials, the association’s bi-monthly newsletter, annual report and such…
Hey reader, Theo here is looking to work with a car magazine as a Graphic Designer! Help look out!
Heeyyy…not bad!! It turns out to look very nice. This is way better concept than their silly latest SE version. Berapa banyak mau SE lar P2….
finally a tortoise without a shell…hey I like Theo’s drawing, but not the car..
bmpower,
whats so suprise abt 1.3 cabrio? smart roadster only got 600+ cc engine. thts aint a joke.
nway, i prefer if theo did a 3 door myvi.
hehe…begitu banyak bahan yang membuktikan anak malaysia boleh pergi jauh kalau d beri peluang…mana tahu, satu hari nanti akan ada seorang anak malaysia yang merintis untuk mereka kereta sendiri seperti esne venere…
Nuts enough.

tortoise? with a soft shell? haha..
hey i like it…. cause the existing myvi is tinggggi!!!!! ugly!!!! hehehe….
put the `.5 engine la like in JAPAN..but quite nice.. i would buy if it is 1.5 VVT engine :)… i heard myvi 1.5vvt turbo is coming..any news paultan?
I did chop a 3-door Perodua MyVi before. Don’t remember where I saved the file.
i like hardtop..if possible, maybe can utilise the Merz SLK type, with automatic roof top.
msmar_453, i think by now, most of u all know where i am working already…which is in P1. Current Dept i cant tell…but definetely in RND. Huhuhuhuhuhu!
Theo, i suggest, that u submit ur resume to Proton, request for the styling dept. And if they call for an interview bring all ur chops, drawings n designs. They are using a software called ‘a***s’ as their styling software and u will definetely get a tablet pen’. And they are many other gadgets and technologies for u to play with. So u can improve ur skills and contribute ur idea to ur nation….just my thought, if u r interested that is!
Cheers!
oit theo…u better send ur resume dude. got strong recommendation from sifu…aiya, syoknya!
in a myvi..i don wanna be seen….
si-fu, but I’m not a car designer, I’m only digitally altering existing cars. This “skill” I have, if it’s any skill at all, doesn’t get recognise.
Theo, i have been browsing a lot and i found that your photo chop skills are very clean and precise (almost Look real) especially the high resolution one in the forum.
Anyway, if Proton or Perodua now want to move on further, it is a good options to get some talented Malaysian to design their future model based on Malaysian/Asian Taste.
Anyway, just go acording to Si-Fu suggestion. Give it a try. Take the chellenge of life to learn new technologies or gadgets.
I my self also Got a different Job than what my skills and education background. I took it as a motivation chellenge at work at first.
I work in Manufacturing Line (electronics) while my background education = Computer field and my interest/skills is in Analysing things (As most of the things i learn is through analysing or looking and listening and some research).
Hello Theo.. Nice photoshop bro.. try take the challenge from Si-Fu. Maybe your luck is there…
howdy theo…great skills dude…
if have Myvi cabriolet, it may sell well here…
I like it. Perhaps Myvi should have a limited edition for this.
Theo, go la. Azlano (ur potential new boss) is looking for talented ppl, hehehe.
Apply here: http://siva-my.jobstreet.com/_ads/my/jobs/2008/5/p/10/630284.htm
Anyway, another job well done, except that I dun like the car itself at all ahahahah
si-fu: it’s Autodesk AliasStudio rite?
theo, i know where u got the interior, its the audi a3 cabrio rite?
Hey Theo
Good work with the Myvi. Lets see you so a cabriolet version of the Persona. Something looking like the VW eos
nice imagination..this car if u drive along kampung road with trees shed would be wonderful..no need powerful engine..
try designing a toyota avanza cabrio
quite a pointless car…since one of the main reason in a convertible is look cool and show off…
but over here you need to wear a full face helmet to hide your face…for looking like a clown in this pathetic car.
imagine an avanza convertible and u know what i mean…i am ashamed to be seen riding in that van.
lol…too true, the goverment should allow us to tint our car windows as dark as possible, so that people cannot see us in a car like the toyota avanza
Love your work man! Excellent!!!
Proton should hire you as their chief designer!
I’ve always thought that the new Proton Saga has a lot of latent potential. It could potentially be a 2 door roadster model.
a) Lower the roof line, give it a sloped look
b) widen the body, give the wheel some solid arches.
c) Oversize the grill to give it an angrier look
d) Slap on M3 skirtings
e) Make the lamps ala civic or 350z.
Can you give it a shot kah?
Maybe this is a sportcar maybe the MyVi can beat up Ferrari LOL :) ;)
