They say you can tell the way a man treats or will treat his woman by the way he treats his car. I give it to you man you really turned that old lady into a Complete sweet sixteen. Am sure the car will always turn head

The tires what year did you get...

I am thinking of changing my tires to new ones because I believe tokunbo Tires are mostly expired or close to expiring. Because of road safety.

Tyre Production year is 2017

Thanks sir so it means one can get almost new tokunbo tires, in year of expiration.

How long does it take before a Tyre expires, I mean road safety standard.

I don't really know much about that.
But I try not to buy tyres beyond 4 years after manufacture.

Interior wasn't left out. The ambience light comes "ON" when any door is opened and gets "OFF" when doors are closed. It came in different colors and can be changed with it's remote control (The green color is my favorite) grin grin

My reverse lights shines really well and gives a better view at night (if you wanna reverse). I ordered the bulbs too and changed the usual yellow bulb cheesy wink
Where did you buy the ambience light I need it too.. I can fix it manually but I need the one with remote...

Everybody with what fascinates him. Personally i hate ricing. Nothing beats having a car in its original state clean and neat. Nothing beats it. Maybe just an addition of decent looking rims. You love your car, no doubt. But since we all love honesty, I just think it has this "omata" look all over. Then again, I think you are using detergent or some kind of soap to wash the car. Stop. My personal cars have never visited any car wash. Those guys kill car paint. Never seen an exception. Either they use detergent or sandy rags on your paint. Well done

We share something in common. Dislike for ricing.

Mike is allergic to ricing.

Rim at 95k
I used a uniform Grade A Tokunbor Tyres at 10k each
I must commend you, great job, but why didn't you buy brand new michelin tyres plus i hope your car has some form of security like a car tracker or you use steering lock at all times or you did comprehensive insurance, because it would be sad if men of the underworld put an eye on this car.

Different personalities, different opinions Sir.

This is a 2005 car, quite old one may say and obviously have this bland look, that's more reason I wanted to give it a new look, probably make it look a bit eye catchy.

My car doesn't go to car wash. I wash it myself, and I use high quality car wash liquid. Not detergent. And I have a microfiber towel for it, not sandy rags. Two years gone and my paint still looks shiny. It shows I'm doing the right thing.

I got some real good Grade A Tokunbor tyres, mostly because I hardly do a long distant travel with this car.

Men of the underworld will never put eye on it by God's Grace.

Thanks for the advice Sir.

This is a 2005 car with its original bland look. More reason for the upgrades to give it a more appealing look.

When I get a luxury car, definitely there won't be any need for the "ricing" as they called it.... Lol

Same September 2018, I swapped out the car sterio to a DVD Sterio with Reverse Camera. I can't be driving around with such a boring sterio and be buying music plates up and down (I love music a lot) Lol grin

I won't even advice the so called high quality car wash liquid. Just water will do. Believe me. Then wax it at least once a year

If you check through the write up, you'll see where I posted a wax/ceramic coating liquid I normally use on my car every 3 months.
