The Proton Persona and Saga have been offered with optional bodykits for some time now, with the former available since its launch and the latter as of May last year. Now, the national carmaker is offering SS (meaning Special Skirting) versions for both kitted-up models as part of a limited time promotion.
In terms of design, the kits are largely identical to what we’ve seen before, where both cars gain an under spoiler fitted to the front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper enhancer. The only difference here is they are finished in a gunmetal colour instead of their default colours.
As part of the promotion, the kit is provided free for the Persona 1.6L Premium CVT variant, while all 1.3 CVT variants of the Saga – Standard, Executive and Premium – get the styling package as well.
However, the offer is available for a limited time only – until the end of May 2018. After that, the bodykit for the Persona will cost RM1,900 and RM1,800 for the Saga. Another thing to note is the gunmetal colour for certain parts of the kit are only available during the promotion and will revert to their original colour scheme after then.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mostly focus on the Proton Persona and Saga limited edition SS versions, with some skepticism about their actual significance and value. Some commenters praise the new bodykits and design features, especially on the Saga, while others criticize the models as "limited" with low sales and suggest they are just cosmetic upgrades. Many express disappointment over Proton's lack of major updates post-GEELY acquisition, questioning the engine choices like VVT instead of proven engines like Campro, and lament limited features on lower variants. There’s also critique about Proton copying terms like VVT and the use of "SS," which in local context is seen as "Sendiri Syok" (self-pleasure). Overall, sentiments are mixed but generally skeptical about the true value and innovation of these limited editions.
