Fixing mechanical and rust issues by installing exterior accessories.
Yeah the priority. Its, its definitely gone.
Much as I regret it and will regret it in the long run, instead of keeping the money for other, more "purposeful" reasons like fixing the mechanicals and body rot:
Accessories 👌
Granted, not "a lot", just installing some Shopee front lip, licence plates front and rear and non-Stanley reproduced front foglights.
Looking at it, I can't say I'm not happy with it, because I definitely am - the foglights and some form of front lip be it the original SiR item or an aftermarket one was fine for me. Unpainted as such, I feel it works and doesn't look as similar as other units - the only gripe I have is the front bumper looks quite like a Proton Satria as the inner part of the front bumper was painted by the previous owner.
The front lip did not have any mounting points which is frustrating. The foglights were installed by another workshop, which used the provided foglight switch. My car has the factory switches, which I find disappointing it is done that way. The aftermarket switch replaces the coin holder oin the right.
For fellow Ferio / sedan owners, if you're also interested with a set of either, they're okay but I personally would say that these are only a choice if you cannot find the original Stanley foglights or are okay with an offbrand front lip.

The licence plates were something I really wanted to change, as I'm not yet a fan of owning sticker, or in this case an acrylic board for a licence plate.
Given my nationality I was quite interested in getting a Singaporean-esque number plate, and have seen many examples over the years that somewhat resemble those.
In a way, they were also somewhat of a 2000s commodity for some builds back in those days, so I feel it to be somewhat fitting for what I'm wanting to go for.
Rest of the photos were part of gathering more photos for a magazine writeup of the car that hopefully will be better in production than the previous one.
