Pink Hello Kitty Jazz

Writing this page is really difficult.
It brought back many fond memories of my previous car.
In a way, this car brought a lot of traffic to my blog.
The changes done to the car might not be written in a right order..
I am writing it based on memory and also my multiply blog..

Period of ownership:- Dec 05 to Dec 07
The car came in a light blue colour when we bought it at AML.

Dealer offered to respray it FOC and so, I settled on pink.
My favourite car then was the Fast and Furious S2K in pink.
The stuff that was changed on Day 1 was:-
rims, headlamps, tail lamps, visors & spoiler!

It was never meant to be a Hello Kitty Car.
The car stayed stock for a while until i was offered a good deal for a bodykit.
And so, we installed the kit and changed the rims again.

In the past, my hubby and I love to make our cars interior beautiful & comfortable..
That’s why you can see I have lots of things inside the car in the above photos.

My hubby was driving the airtrek then. It was a car I missed too.
Initally, hubby and i were arguing on a theme for the car.
Pink Panther? No. Strawberry Shortcake? No. Hello Kitty? Maybe.
Frankly, I am not a fan of Hello Kitty. We just wanted a theme.

And we started our search for Hello Kitty car accessories & toys.
Everywhere we go, we looked and grabbed whatever we think is nice.
The fur on the dashboard is like a MUST for me, as I missed his blue fit.
So, we went to Spotlight to buy that expensive fur for $49.90 per meter.
this was how the jazz’s dashboard looked like initially…

and finally in September 06, we put on stickers for the car…
i think the reason why we finally added stickers was for the Big Boyz Toyz event.

and so, that ends the story of my hello kitty honda jazz..
it’s a pity nobody offered a price when i was selling the car as it is..
it was a 4 yr old car, totally accident free and mileage of 65k..
when i got the car, it’s mileage was about 44k.. i only travelled 21k in 2 yrs!
