Local outfit TuneD has announced the debut of its first range of aftermarket bodykits and exclusive packages designed specifically to fit three Proton models – the Saga, Preve and the Persona.
Aimed at providing new options for the local aftermarket enthusiast, the add-ons bring about a new look to the exterior, led by design changes to the front/rear bumpers and side skirting.
Like the TuneD Saga and TuneD Preve, three tailored packages are available for the Persona, and these are the Standard, Executive and Premium (coincidentally, the same trim level naming convention as seen on the regulation offering).
Equipment specification is identical to the two other TuneD cars at the Standard level, the Persona getting a bodykit (front/rear bumper and side skirts), LED DRLs, a shark fin antenna and four TuneD emblems. The Persona is also finished in the Fierce Red signature shade, and a blacked-out pillar treatment lends the car a ‘floating roof’ look.
The Executive package adds on partial leather upholstery all around, soft-touch door trim covers and a new inner boot cover. Also on, LED lighting for the headlamps (high/low beam and pilot) as well as rear garnish lights. Finally, the Premium package introduces 16-inch multi-spoke alloys and tyres.
Pricing of the TuneD packages start from RM5,000 for a Standard kit, and the company says that that Maybank credit card holders have the option of going with a zero-interest, easy-payment instalment scheme for their purchase. The TuneD packages for the Persona, along with that for the Saga and Preve, are now available for booking.
