We’ve seen the Proton Iriz wearing an SD Aerodynamics bodykit before – the full look is striking, to say the least, so can you imagine what it would look like dressed in chrome? Well, you don’t have to imagine any longer, as someone has wrapped an example in a mirror finish and posted the results on Facebook!
The end result is spectacular, if extremely polarising – it’s made all the more divisive by the deep front bumper with gaping front air intakes, side skirts, reworked rear diffuser insert, twin centre-exit exhausts and tailgate spoiler add-on by SD Aerodynamics. It does look really garang, however, particularly when lowered on the 17-inch seven-spoke wheels.

It should be noted that although it’s white underneath, like the kitted-out Iriz we shot earlier this year, it doesn’t appear to the same car. This particular unit has been fitted with a sunroof, and also features the usual Proton badge on the tailgate instead of “Iriz” script. The interior also features a “My Iriz 2020” plaque on the dashboard as well as the signature of Proton chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad – how cool is that?
So, what do you guys think? Does the Proton Iriz’ funky styling go well with an extra dollop of bling and sportiness, or is it all just a bit much? Sound off in the comments section after the jump.
