Heyo peeps! As you know, I used to own a 2003 Proton Waja 1.6 previously. It was actually my sister's car but I took over the ownership of the car when I first got my licence. Back then, my sister was in Vancouver, Canada. She furthered her studies in the animation lines. Well, now, she is working at Silver Ant, a rather well known Malaysian Animation Company. Anyway, when I took over the car, I decided to modify my new baby. Named her Baby Angel partially because she is pearl white in color and she looks really simple, decent and elegant I must say.
Beautiful isnt she? I was one of the first few Waja owners who own this bodykit. This bodykit is really rare and unique. I had to custom make the front bumper in order to fit Baby Angel. It was worth while. However, I got into an accident 7 months later. It was heartbreaking. I was really torn apart. I know! To some people, she is just a piece of scrap metal but to me, she is like my wifey. She never betrays or hurt me like most girls do.
Ouch! Bye bye Ings+1. Right after the accident, I thought of getting the same bumper because it was really unique and my car was quite well known among teams. They all call my car and I "The White Waja". Yup! Funny name but its alright. Heehee. Anyway, I wanted to get the same bumper but my mum gave me only two options which was to either revert my car to stock or get the R3 bumper. R3 is actually a tuning company which tunes Protons just like Nismo for Nissans and STI for Subarus. The R3 bumper is really common on the road nowadays but it looks good. So I decided to get the R3 bumper.
During the accident, the headlamps broke and I decided to get her a new set with Smoked Angel Eyes CCFL Projector. Angel needs Angel Eyes! Heehee! Besides that, I got her a real carbon fiber number plate holder with adjustable clips. She looks pretty clean and new.
Unfortunately, I had to let her go. Sometimes, we just have to learn to let go of something/someone even if it is against our will to do so. I sold her because she was already old and she will continue to depreciate. I wont be able to sell her in future because there isnt any resale value. However, I'm glad that I've sold her to a good friend of mine who happens to be on the same team as me, The Zuz Society. ChanYee (new owner) collected the car on the day I left Malaysia for Melbourne. When he drove Baby Angel away, tears rolled down my cheeks. It was just so hard to say goodbye. Nevertheless, I managed to convince myself that it is in good hands. Afterall, I'll still be able to see her again when I meet up with ChanYee. =)
This blog post is dedicated to my Baby Angel! <3
Till then, cheers!
