Our resident photo-manipulation wizard Theophilus Chin has whipped up this lightly kitted sporty Proton Exora for the benefit of our imagination. Kudos to Theo for managing to churn this out in such a short time. This should provide some inspiration to early adopters of the Proton Exora who want to make their new MPV look a little more different. Of course certain things like the different headlamps are not very feasible to do. Then of course there are the show cars that Proton themselves prepared for the launch, that’s coming up next. For now, what do you think of this design?

Look after the jump for a rear view.

    Theo Chin new wraparound bumper design clearly better for pedestrian during collision as Exora original bumper TOO SHARP. BTW, it made Exora too Accord-ish.

    Rear lights cluster TOO VAN-like design.

    Maybe Proton should come out with a la Alphard-Velfire design; same design but unique front-rear features to cater some segment.

    Thats a good thing u know, current nose design makes pedestrian die faster so that it will lessen the time victim in agonizing pain. hehe just kidding.
    I like the chrome at the back though, seems to complement the metal plate at front of mpv.

    hardly any mpv rear design look stuning anyway , thats y mpvs kinda defined by their front design…

    guess u cant do much modification to this mpv coz d car bit high
    & body profile too simple not much of flowing lines.

    think d p2 mpv would hv more customized parts from jp to
    play around than this mpv.

    THE FACELIFT VERSION IS QUITE AMAZED so called…but still puzzled with the engine outcome whether it can cope the heavy metal of this vehicle or not…will it be under power? only 1.6ltr to move this object? eventhough its another so called powered by campro cps…there’s a question mark in between all of us…wait till the test drive to prove my justification wrong…let’s wait and see…

    we can’t expect too much from these guys man…heard some of you guys commented the rear lights ugly, looks like wish, innova, viva, subaru… for me its more to mitsubishi grandis…now these guys already wake up from their own sweet dreams and packed up this mpv with alot of gadgets like nowadays everybody necessities…GPS…the rear lights is LED bulks man… driver position more to wish…quite spacious…and the gear liver position… can say it really follow the trend of the market…

    i dislike the back lights and the rear wiper….the rear wiper is just too big…they should model toyota/volkswagen/peugeot rear wipers…

    its a nice job… but can Theo chop its taillight and remove that chrome lining… please?

    a butt-lift Exora is required soon… can’t really understand why R&D chief select this rear for Exora… The taillight are its main culprit and 2nd are that chrome line…

    Also heard some uncle and a teacher(kopitiam talk) pronouce Exora similar to “iswara”…
