Artist’s impression of new Proton Sedan bodykit
Usually the fan art of modified cars only surface AFTER a car is launched, but thanks to nearly a month’s teaser period that Proton has given us with the upcoming new Proton Sedan, some have started modifying the look of whatever they have available.
Blog reader and forumer Chaku (aka Maru) has whipped up this nice artist’s impression of the new Proton Sedan with a bodykit based on the 3D renderings posted here back in March this year. He has added a small bootlid spoiler, subtle side skirts and a front lip, but the rear bumper gets a new diffuser-like design.
Of course, no sporty look is complete without larger sports alloy wheels and a reduced wheel arch gap. What do you think? The LED brake lamps available as a third party aftermarket accessory would complement this design well.
I think the new Proton Sedan like all modern Protons have tremendous potential for aesthetics enhancement.

good looking… especially the rear bumper diffuser and the closed-gap wheel arch
July 27, 2007 @ 3:25 am
looks freakin cool!!!!

Ah Beng’s Persona. Do you notice this sedan getting clearer in the TV commercial?
July 27, 2007 @ 7:39 am
yes, twin spoke rims can be seen now
July 27, 2007 @ 8:01 am
if the rear door spots a hoffmeister kink, people surely think it is a bimmer on their first look. quite cool.
July 27, 2007 @ 8:05 am
hv not seen yet the clearer tv commercial..
were the rims look great or not?
or still got the “bulat-bulat” design?
July 27, 2007 @ 8:08 am
wow… the doors side look like BMW 3 series.
This one will sell fast
Nice work !
July 27, 2007 @ 8:26 am
Look decent, Nice!
July 27, 2007 @ 8:29 am
Please stop giving artist impression.
Although it is look the same or maybe same as the original but it will just destroy the fun to wait for the annoucement.
If spyshots, it is better.
July 27, 2007 @ 8:45 am
overall ok..
for me i dont like head and tail light
i got 2 pics new sedan.. how to post here?
July 27, 2007 @ 8:46 am
But seriously i really hope the rear light is not exactly like gen2, not sure how others feel, but i feel that if it goes this way this is just like a gen2 potong.
July 27, 2007 @ 9:31 am
rexis,
yeah.. agreed.. they should at least do something diff with the rear rear light…
July 27, 2007 @ 9:31 am
Hey Paul. mind you ask this CHAKU mod this drawing of the spoiler to 2008 Honda Civic MUGEN Si Sedan’s spoiler (your previous topic) ?
It would be nice for such a long boot with Evo’s spoiler style.
Came out in sucks quality…HAHA..doofus me!
Im a photoshop maniac too but just a freshie though.. I mod the Skyline GT300 from what i took it by my camera while driving
July 27, 2007 @ 10:14 am
This is what we call a sporty nice car
July 27, 2007 @ 10:16 am
nicely done…
July 27, 2007 @ 10:16 am
Rear light “triangular” shape is popular by Mercs car, but now the market trend is back to “rectangular”. Hope this Sedan not merely put in “buttock” only to please customer!
July 27, 2007 @ 10:25 am
Yes True, Why cant those designers in proton just change the design of the light? A 5 year old boy could do better….
July 27, 2007 @ 10:35 am
gotta have the led… damn nice! and the black projector headlight as well..
July 27, 2007 @ 1:00 pm
anyone knows if the new model will have a cps engine?
July 27, 2007 @ 1:09 pm
If it turns out like this, I may just buy one as daily driven car. But, tail lights must be LEDs and front will be HIDs, two of the best lighting technologies in the world.
July 27, 2007 @ 1:37 pm
Smart & simple. The twin spokes rims really match to the overall theme, though i personally thinks it will looks even bigger in other colour, like gold or champange..
As for the rear spoiler, I would go for the ‘duck-tail’ type.. ala EG9.
July 27, 2007 @ 2:42 pm
im struggling with the rear spoiler. dunno which design fit best. but im staying away from humunguos sized spoiler.
July 27, 2007 @ 2:52 pm
Agreed with gtmaniac, try fit EG9 style spoiler… anyway keep up the good work..
July 27, 2007 @ 2:55 pm
Oh … one other thing… how would it looks like with Gen2 MME edition front bumper…hehe.. wicked
July 27, 2007 @ 3:37 pm
Nice, clean and cool!!!! What else? YEAH!!!!!
July 27, 2007 @ 3:50 pm
THat A Nice car man! it seems like proton has done a great job this time
July 27, 2007 @ 4:36 pm
sick ride baby…ahahahaha
July 27, 2007 @ 4:43 pm
good design..
hope it is good as it is seen larr..
July 27, 2007 @ 4:57 pm
hope the engine and all parts work well especially servise center, live to their promise on proton’s latest ads.
July 27, 2007 @ 5:06 pm
Hope this… hope that… its hopeless…
July 27, 2007 @ 5:06 pm
the ‘ufo-missing-crops ‘ rear light (or any bling-bling parts) must go.
a simple design will do a lot better as ufo design look ‘cheap’ and out of place in conventional sedan. look at vios.. its sell..
the front headlamp also seems too small compared with overall car dimension. feel not so ‘integrated’, besides nowaday most new car got larger-than-life headlamp. larger-than-life headlamp look ‘bold’ and ’sharp’ but still within the sphere of ‘conventional’ feel that acceptable to sedan. just look at civic, accord, 407 (to name a few) headlamp design for example.
unfortunately, these two seems like staying - parts sharing = cost saving and change of headlamp will result in change in many body parts design and dimension (to fit the new headlamp).
what a shame… as the borderline between being good design and GREAT design (by proton standard…) look like is within sight. (Most people, minus potong staunch supporter are praising this car even when it is not officially out yet…. when is the last time that happened? or when does that ever happened? )
now… where is 4-doors / 5-doors satria neo?
many people are asking for this when neo was launched. Were you listening? Drop the mindset that satria is limited to 2-doors h/b. Give what people want. That is the only path for your salvation.
last but not least, value this phrase, proton… if you can’t convince them, confuse them.. (with abundant of choices, good choices).
btw, the BLM design look like crap, unfinished, aged / misguided design. do something about it, ok?
July 27, 2007 @ 6:25 pm
Please someone design Bodykit with rear diffuser for G2
July 27, 2007 @ 6:42 pm
the Gen 2 wing mirror is a bit failure….the visibility angle is poor compared to Waja…..how come & it is really funny….they able to design Waja (1st product) with wide angle side mirror but failed it with their 2nd product…..which is Gen 2. Therotically it should able to improve or retain the same viewing angle.
Hope this new sedan doesn’t carry the Gen 2 wing mirror gen…..the mirror just viewing angle just so poor….
btw…the computer graphic design looks pretty cool…..
July 27, 2007 @ 7:46 pm
Nice body kit design, but i personally prefer the current gen2 with bodykits. Look more ‘garang’..
July 27, 2007 @ 8:14 pm
gen2 already nice for modders, so no suprise this too is one will be a success too
July 28, 2007 @ 1:15 am
i really do hope this latest model will do proton good and elevent them to another level of competition, as in the long run if they profit our whole country and all its people in it will benefit too.
July 28, 2007 @ 1:40 am
A potential successor to the Wira. This car looks aggressive with full body kit. I’m sure the R3 division will come out with their own R3 designed bodykits a few months after the launch of this stunning sedan!
July 28, 2007 @ 5:31 pm
hmm..look like proton want to makes profit with this model…but..they still copy from the old gen.2…the front grill is totally same but ’serabut’ chrome lines remind me to the honda city..(thats what my mum use now)..the rear design..still the same…sigh..but maybe there is a huge different for interior?? anyone have the ideas how interior look like..or still copy from the same design..(no glovebox..rectanglish air-cond vent..sucky creamy colour..n..tiny radio controller???)
July 28, 2007 @ 9:02 pm
its nice a may say, simple yet good…..nice job chaku!
July 28, 2007 @ 9:25 pm
look decent enough!
but those crop-circle light definately had to go!
same as to Waja dog-bone light!
July 29, 2007 @ 1:59 am

IF U ALL SEE CLEARLY..THE INTERIOR DESIGN IS STILL USING THE SAME PLATFORM..(DOUBLE LAYER DESGN)..HMM..SEEMS LIKE PROTON DESIGNER NEED TO DO MORE EFFORTS HERE…LACK OF IDEAS…
——————————————————————-
i think proton people are not stupid as u think..
if there are stupid, they cant work for proton..
u said they lack ideas..
i think they hv a lot of ideas..but dont have time to make them into reality…
if they change everything, maybe this model will not come out this august..
MAYBE NEXT TWO YEARS..see? how many years proton hv not introduce new its new models till that time?
i think that time, p2 also has many new models and p1 still have a lot of lambakan kereta…
in my opinion, proton must act quickly and i think the interior in less priority than “size of car, look (exterior), handling and also safety (they put airbag as standard)”…
i’m not so intelligent to speak about proton, but i’m also not stupid to realize that proton is now doing everything they can to survive..
July 29, 2007 @ 10:53 am
from information that i have..the length of this car is longer than WAJA…NISSAN LATIO.. TOYOTA COROLLA ALTIS AND CHEVROLET OPTRA…hmm..sounds like very comfortable and convenience..but the width…no change…if the interior come with the black scheme colour with striking silver..THATS COOL..IS THIS NEW SEDAN COME WITH CPS ENGINE??….

July 29, 2007 @ 12:34 pm
so..it just come with the old campro engine?? hurm…how that be??some said that this car will be name ‘persona’…??is it kinda name of wira that been exported 2 uk 12years ago??
July 29, 2007 @ 3:05 pm
Yup.. harga kereta Proton yg paling mahal tidak sepatutnya melebihi RM50k supaya org yang bergaji sederhana mampu membelinya! Plus, dengan harga yang lebih rendah rakyat tidak akan terpaksa membayar hutang kereta hingga ke7-9 tahun. Adalah tidak munasabah kita perlu membayar sedemikian lama hanya untuk sebuah kereta.

Apa2 pun kini saya ucap tahniah kpd Proton, anda syarikat yg berdiri sendiri. Bukan ambil ‘BARANG’ orang,lekatkan nama sendiri dan jual. Saya mempunyai Wira 1.6 dan masih ‘GAH’ hingga sekarang. Teringin hendak memiliki PERSONA yg menarik. Tutup mulut org M’sia yg suka mencacai barangan sendiri. Rakan saya yg membeli kereta keluaran Korea menghadapi berbagai masalah tp tak berani nak cerita takut malu kerana terlalu mengagungkan barangan dari luar.TAHNIAH, MALAYSIA BOLEH.
