stock black

some photos to share.

Nice. Looks like all new rides comes with push-start.

this is a SX model, i assume.
how many remote keys were you given?

yup when i bought mine was given the option to top up for keyless since it was available. would have gotten the key one if they had the colour i wanted.

2 keys given.

Nice shots. Keeping stock all the way???

thanks, well i ordered and armrest from terrier, and i got these from autobacs...



but tt's about it i guess. v v happy with the way the car looks. wanna change stuff i got another hobby hehe

personally i think the stock black looks good already. some pple chose to tarnish this look with excessive modding. well, one man's meat is another man's poison...
but i think your stock black is really nice. now wondering why i didnt choose it earlier.

Thanks alot. When it comes to aesthetics its alot about preferences I suppose.

How about maintaining this colour?

very nice photography... care to share how u took those photos?

swee!!! welcome to our black forte gang!!!

@greatgazoo: maintainence so far ok. wash once a week because don't really drive much. covered up most of the time.

did some paint sealant recommended by my SE so just have to use water spray. then use cloth dry and that's it. immediately after wash, can see 'dust' settling on the car. also the hairline scratches if you scrutinize the paintwork. but unless u are looking from a distance of about half arm's length to the car you probably wont notice anything.

@corgel: thank you very much. images taken with a DSLR, interior photos mostly shot on manual.

@dark knight: any tips on how to maintain?

welcome to the club and congrats on ur new ride.. about maintenance, well, all i can say is tat black is very hard to keep clean.. must be discipline and have lots of patience.. go do ur pps if u have not and after it rains, wipe off the water on the car body, if not got water mark once the water evaporates.. and since urs is black like mine, good luck with scratches and road hazards like stones, dry leaves and sand as it may scratch ur ride.. and its obvious since the colour is black.. nonetheless, i still love my ride and i love the way it looks.. congrats once again man!!

Nice photos and editing

Cool a BLACK Forte MU.... I can join too...

Hi guys,

Don't leave me out. Just collected my ride 2 days ago. Yes, it's a Black Forte too. Will try to put up pics the next time. Just added the door pocket, really blend in very well with the panel (silver colour). Thought of changing the rims, but realized the trade-in value is very low. Decided to leave with it.

Nice ride, bros.

Cheers

teryau.. welcome!! well, we can arrange something la.. and hope that people turn up.. lol.. many last minute cannot make it..

btw, i wonder how many black forte we have in this forum.. anyone wanna find out?

awesome work with the photos!

Dont know if I miscounted but there are about 50 on the registry.

I am black too....
Hey TERYAU, u can consider spray painting your rims black if u wanna keep it stock, haha. I would have done it if my ride was an SX.

hehe i saw some nice rims.... but got lobang for spray paint to glossy black like the car colour?

eh, i dont know if his services are cheap or not la, ADSM, @ Tai Seng industrial. I think his prices are slightly high, but quality, i think quite good.
