Earlier today, local outfit TuneD announced the debut of its first range of aftermarket bodykits and styling enhancements for three Proton models, the tailored packages being designed specifically for the Saga, Preve and the Persona.
These add-ons aim to offer new styling options for the local aftermarket enthusiast, and introduce a number of exterior and interior revisions to the cars. Like that seen on the TuneD Saga and TuneD Persona, three tailored packages are available for the Preve.
The range starts with the Standard package, and the items are identical to those found on the other two cars. In the bag is a new bodykit (front/rear bumpers and side skirts), LED DRLs, a shark fin antenna and four TuneD emblems.
The car also gets the Fierce Red signature shade and the blacked-out pillar treatment, the latter presenting the vehicle with a ‘floating roof’ look.
As before, the Executive package dresses up the interior with quarter leather upholstery and new soft-touch door trim and inner boot covers. It also adds on LED lighting for the headlamps (high/low beam and pilot) as well as rear garnish lights. Going the Premium package route adds on one final piece of kit, in this case 17-inch multi-spoke alloys and tyres.
The company says that pricing of the TuneD packages for the Proton models starts from RM5,000, and order books are now open. Maybank credit card holders will be able to purchase the TuneD kit with a zero-interest, easy-payment instalment scheme.
