Caution: I heard those electri power steering on sales are for left hand drive vehicles only. I completely overlooked the fact that theirs are left hand drive. I just ordered this: item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=5126909540 End up it couldn't fit because its for left hand drive vehicles! What a waste! It almost fits. Will see if it can be made to fit. So guys before ordering stuff do take note if the part can be used by our right hand drive vehicles. On the other hand found an improved inside door handle. The plastic pull-handle which my sis broke from pulling overly hard has been improved by replacing it with one made of metal. Minor but important improvement here. I ordered it from this guy: item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=3490110645

Hi [glow=red,2,300]Dash Board Tray/Internal Door Handle[/glow] That taobao 'baby' item webpage is missing from the link ? [glow=red,2,300]One more caution[/glow] It is 'risky' to put too many things especially white color items on dash board, it will reflect lights onto windscreen that in turn will affect driver front view when negotiating a tight corner or narrow turn. [glow=red,2,300]Dash Board Tray[/glow] I did try in the past, to look for some tray to replace the air-bag cover infront of the front passenger seat, like those tray used in Zotye or other cars without air bag. Will check with Dongfeng parts dept when I next visit Exklusiv for servicing (on Zotye). Not sure any shop can make or customise one (with black or grey soft metal or plastic). [glow=red,2,300]Odometer[/glow] Fit/Sadiq - Is combination meter (speedometer,odometer/trip meter, fuel gauge, temp gauge and etc) also LHD and RHD oriented ?

Really tempted to try buying hafei parts online shop57271521.taobao.com Our air filter (cotton type) cost only 10yuan! which is only SGD $2 .. vertex sells it at $25 .. a gross profit of $23 ... Other parts that i saw on this shop would be spoilers for 185 yuan, arm-rest for the gear area at only 80 yuan .. it might be pricey for the chinese.. but still cheaper for us .. Problem is .. i dont know if they are willing to ship out of china A word of caution. 1-2 months ago, I read about the user feedbacks from some Chinese online sites regarding those non-genuine air-filter being sold for only few yuans, and is made of low quality paper, and the fine air dust particles are able to filter thru and get into the combustion chamber. The filters were made in backlane factory and the label printing are not so clear and the total filter size is slightly smaller. I did not copy down the website address. Will try to find out and share. Did you heard about this also ?

I found the website regarding non-genuine air filter: Genuine air filter is selling at Y9 yuans and non-genuine air filter is selling at around Y2.50 to Y4 Yuans. Please refer to the remarks at the bottom of the following web page. item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=2818623475

Thats good info there. Will look out for original parts and if the picture shows the hafei packaging then the better.
BTW, what does "non-genius" means?

Here's the correct link to the dashboard console: item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=5126798882I managed to reform the console to more or less fit. Its far from perfect but its functional. Just need a proper heat gun for the final touches to make it fit better.

item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=6369610617I am eyeing on these shocks if i were to change the old ones out. Complete assembly with more comfortable springs and replaceable shock absorber catridge. So next time if the dampers are worned out, can just replace with a new absorber of your choice and brand. 780RMB is about $200.
