What happened to my mudguard after 340km...

Nothing much visible at the rear mudguard...

The back portion was initially painted to test colors for the mudguard...

After 340km journey, you can see how important a mudguard is for protecting car from scratches.

Even PLUS highway also has lots of stones and chips laying around the road...

Basically some portion of the paint is stripped right off from the mudguard...

PS: I only drive according to speed limit through out the journey to and fro to Johor. Imagine if I don't, it'll be worse.

As promised... DRL for my Iswara...

Yea, that preview pic is actually this...

It is DRL (Daytime Running Light)

Some shots of DRL of RM9.90 from kedai abang...

If you still can't get it, it's a standard for European cars, like those Merc, BMW, Audi has...

Nice le...

The light will be on whenever the car has it's engine on...

On daytime, the lights are at highest brightness to create awareness of the car.

At night time, once the headlamps are turned on, the DRL are dimmed to a comfortable level to avoid blinding drivers ahead.

Uncle Wiki said that:

A daytime running lamp (DRL, also daylight running lamp or daytime running light) is an automotive lighting device on the front of a roadgoing motor vehicle, installed in pairs, automatically switched on when the vehicle is moving forward, emitting white, yellow, or amber light to increase the conspicuity of the vehicle during daylight conditions.

Depending on prevailing regulations and vehicle equipment, the daytime running light function may be implemented by functionally-specific lamps, by operating the low-beam headlamps or fog lamps at full or reduced intensity, by operating the high-beam headlamps at reduced intensity, or by steady-burning operation of the front turn signals. Compared to any mode of headlamp operation to create the daytime running light, functionally-dedicated DRLs maximize the potential benefits in safety performance and minimize fuel consumption, glare, motorcycle masking, and other potential drawbacks.^[1]

I then installed it to the car... Took like an hour.

I tap the radio fuse from driver's fusebox and pull a wire passing through door hinges straight to the bonnet.
And please PLEASE add a RM4 fuse holder (and fuse 10 Amp fuse inside lah) before wiring do your DRL...
Unless you really want your radio to blow up together with your DRL on your lucky day... (Time to change new radio, Yay!)

Result:

Installed

When the car is on acc mode or started, this is it...

When early morning/evening drive view

Night drive with headlamps on

If no DRL

On a sunny day, got install or not install also seem no difference...

Basically is cosmetic purpose only, not bright enough cause Audi and Merc DRL easily tapao me la...

But only RM9.90... Waliao eh cheap. Brighter ones can cost RM150 each set... I can buy 15 sets and put it onto my bumper dy lo...

Exterior mod continued...

So now I spray somemore for rear mudguard with paint...

 Now it's dried and ready to install!

But let's try the front first...

Left

Right

 Ok... this 2 took me an afternoon to install it... Why? Because i;m still sorting out with the clips of the mudguard... It also took some time to clean up some dirts, tars, soils and even plants inside my fender...

But the problem will never arise again with my mud "guard's" help.

So yeah, sunset orange with aluminium brown mudguard, not attention grabbing enough yet noticeable if parked along with other cars...

Let's go to the back...

 Without mudguard...

 With mudguard... but seemed senget a bit...

 Initially tried a lot of ways without drilling the bumper, but all somehow didn't work out...

My neighbour then suggested me to drill the bumper and pasang saje...

Turns out really gotta use his way... And it's more secured and nicer too...

Mudguard done... Before my Physics Paper 1...

Kedai Abang quoted me about Rm30-50 for installation... Luckily I did myself... Somemore can customize colour...

Only had sprayed the front... The rear one today gaotim and install all 4 together... Still thinking how to spray the "Proton" wordings with another colour...

Was going to install Daytime Running Lights RM9.90 from kedai abang and look at the bumper bottom to look for clues... But then saw...
