Car Modification Reference for Sigra to Look Even Cooler
Sales of the Daihatsu Sigra continue to soar thanks to its affordable price and capacity to accommodate up to seven passengers. This car is perfect for friends who often travel with family. However, to give it a different look, friends need to modify the Sigra so that it doesn't look ordinary. To make modifications, friends may need references that will be explained below.
Sigra Car Modification Replace Antenna with Shark Fin Model
Although the original antenna that comes with the Sigra is quite good, its design may still be lacking for friends who are automotive enthusiasts and may be part of the Sigra community. Besides changing the appearance, another reason to modify the antenna is that this part is easy to remove and prone to theft, so it needs to be replaced with a shark fin model.
It's called a shark fin model because it resembles a shark fin, with a budget of IDR 200,000 – IDR 300,000. The installation is also quite easy and comes with double tape. Additionally, to ensure good signal reception quality, bolts that are the same as the original place are used.
Sigra Car Modification Replace Wheels with Jazz, Yaris, or Mobilio
Replacing the wheels with variants from Yaris or Honda Jazz makes the Sigra's design look even stronger. The installation is relatively easy because it is Plug n Play (PNP) and the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is the same. Moreover, OEM wheels have proven durability compared to buying aftermarket wheels.
The price for this wheel modification is also very affordable, around IDR 3 million and more depending on the condition. However, friends must still buy new tires that have the same size as the wheels. Besides Yaris or Jazz, friends can also use another variant, namely Mobilio RS wheels size Ring 15 at a price of around IDR 2.8 million with easy installation.
Sigra Car Modification Add Dampers
Dampers function to hold the springs so they do not hit the ground at the top of the car. The purpose of adding dampers to the Sigra is to prevent it from sinking, as modifying the Sigra to be lower as a family car that usually accommodates many passengers must also consider comfort, not just aesthetics. The use is also quite easy by adding them to each rear part measuring 3-4 cm. The price of these dampers varies from IDR 400,000 to IDR 700,000 depending on the brand.
Sigra Car Modification Install Leather Seat Covers
The original seats of the Sigra use fabric material which is certainly more difficult to clean compared to other seats made of leather. Therefore, to achieve a more practical and classy seat condition, friends can replace them with leather seats at a price that is quite expensive, around IDR 2 – 4 million depending on the material used.
Sigra Car Modification Install Electric Mirrors
Installing elegant mirrors certainly makes friends more confident when maneuvering, especially when driving on narrow roads to facilitate vehicle movement. Friends only need to prepare a budget of around IDR 2 – 3 million to install automatic folding mirrors consisting of a motor module, cables, and a switch.
Sigra Car Modification Replace Logo with Toyota or Lexus
The original logo of the Sigra car is in the shape of a garuda, which seems less classy. Therefore, friends can replace it with a Toyota or Lexus logo to look more classy. This logo can be purchased at official dealers or online at a relatively cheap price of IDR 125,000. The installation method is also quite easy; friends can do it themselves or with the help of a mechanic at a car accessory shop or official workshop.
If friends want to replace the logo themselves, there are a few tools that need to be prepared, namely a small flat screwdriver, double tape, scissors, and a soft cloth. To replace it, the first step friends need to take is to remove the corners of the original garuda logo with a flat screwdriver wrapped in the prepared cloth.
After everything is removed, that part needs to be cleaned first with a dry cloth. Then attach the Toyota or Lexus logo using double tape for a stronger bond and a tighter position. If friends do not use double tape for attachment, there may be gaps or looseness on the sides.
Modification by Adding Local Production Calya Body Kit
If friends have a fairly large budget of around IDR 2.5 – 3 million, perhaps friends can try buying a set of body kits from Calya. This body kit is already equipped with LED light technology on the front bumper and has reflective lights on the back. However, the price of IDR 2.5 – 3 million does not include painting costs. Friends need to prepare a larger additional budget of around IDR 800,000 – 1 million if they want to paint it according to the body color.
Sigra Modification Replace Tires with GT Radial Champiro Eco
One of the common concerns for buyers is the tires. The tires on the Daihatsu Sigra are known for their noise, which could potentially cause damage. Although the manufacturer claims that damage occurs due to improper use, such as not being well-maintained.
However, for friends who do not want to take risks, they can modify this part by replacing it with other tire brands such as GT Radial Champiro Eco and Achilles Platinum sized 175/65 R14 at a price range of IDR 400,000 – 500,000, including installation, balancing, and nitrogen filling.
There are many ways friends can modify their beloved Sigra to make it look more attractive in terms of beauty and comfort when friends travel with family.
