Artist gone nuts: Perodua Myvi Cabriolet
Click to enlarge
This set of photoshopped images confirm that our resident graphic artist Theophilus Chin is a crackhead 
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.

I’m not a crackhead, i only smoke crack!
November 17, 2008 @ 11:43 pm
well done theo.
i like the amount of bootspace available too. ample space to stash a bunch of coke and pot in. XD
November 17, 2008 @ 11:44 pm
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.
November 18, 2008 @ 12:08 am
These small convertibles are all 2+2 anyway, like the 207CC. Only the 308CC fits 4 adults properly.
November 18, 2008 @ 12:31 am
if P2 can do this by themselves in real life, gonna really respect them.
November 18, 2008 @ 12:57 am
slice and dice. lol.
November 18, 2008 @ 2:42 am
wats next , proton mpv losses its roof as well ?!!
or a kancil pickup?!!
November 18, 2008 @ 6:26 am
nice, but usually rear seats have little or no space in drop top cars. Yours has a healthy space there:P
November 18, 2008 @ 7:20 am
e-nabilll.. skrg pun dh ade kancil pikap beb.. if im not mistaken laa, kat midvalley ade..
November 18, 2008 @ 8:26 am
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?
November 18, 2008 @ 9:06 am
the 2nd pic really looks like savvy….
November 18, 2008 @ 9:16 am
Nice man! I wish I had your eye for detail and talents!
November 18, 2008 @ 10:09 am
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.
November 18, 2008 @ 10:37 am
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.
November 18, 2008 @ 10:43 am
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*
November 18, 2008 @ 10:44 am
Btw, have always loved your work.
November 18, 2008 @ 10:50 am
Nice. Will consider buying one if priced below 80k with current Myvi 1.3 DVVT automatic.
November 18, 2008 @ 10:57 am
Nice job Theo….. keep it up !!!! Theo, can u come up with more graphics with proton cars…..
November 18, 2008 @ 10:59 am

November 18, 2008 @ 12:37 pm

November 18, 2008 @ 12:54 pm
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!
November 18, 2008 @ 1:09 pm
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….
November 18, 2008 @ 2:40 pm

November 18, 2008 @ 4:03 pm
I did chop a 3-door Perodua MyVi before. Don’t remember where I saved the file.
November 18, 2008 @ 4:47 pm
i like hardtop..if possible, maybe can utilise the Merz SLK type, with automatic roof top.
November 18, 2008 @ 5:47 pm
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!
November 18, 2008 @ 6:21 pm
oit theo…u better send ur resume dude. got strong recommendation from sifu…aiya, syoknya!
November 18, 2008 @ 6:44 pm
in a myvi..i don wanna be seen….
November 18, 2008 @ 7:47 pm
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.
November 18, 2008 @ 11:36 pm
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).
November 19, 2008 @ 12:49 am
Hello Theo.. Nice photoshop bro.. try take the challenge from Si-Fu. Maybe your luck is there…
November 19, 2008 @ 1:32 am
howdy theo…great skills dude…
November 19, 2008 @ 8:23 am
if have Myvi cabriolet, it may sell well here…
November 19, 2008 @ 9:01 am
I like it. Perhaps Myvi should have a limited edition for this.
November 19, 2008 @ 9:47 am
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?
November 19, 2008 @ 9:59 am
theo, i know where u got the interior, its the audi a3 cabrio rite?
November 19, 2008 @ 10:28 pm
Hey Theo
Good work with the Myvi. Lets see you so a cabriolet version of the Persona. Something looking like the VW eos
November 20, 2008 @ 9:11 am
nice imagination..this car if u drive along kampung road with trees shed would be wonderful..no need powerful engine..
November 21, 2008 @ 9:07 am
try designing a toyota avanza cabrio
November 21, 2008 @ 9:07 am
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.
November 22, 2008 @ 10:38 am
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
November 23, 2008 @ 5:34 pm
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?
December 12, 2008 @ 2:58 pm
Maybe this is a sportcar maybe the MyVi can beat up Ferrari LOL
