SUBANG JAYA: "My Proton Makeover” competition ended with the announcement that an IT expert and a home maker will be the final recipients of cars that will be given a new lease of life.
IT consultant Amirul Azim Mohd Hussain, 36, and home maker Lee Koon Gaik, 54, submitted their old cars recently to Proton, the fifth and sixth cars to undergo the refurbishment programme.
Satria owner Amirul Azim said his car had served him well for 11 years from his bachelor days and even now when he has become a father.

He revelaed that he was a toy car collector, and have accumulated a sizeable cache of Hot Wheels die-cast cars.
Lee's husband bought her a Saga 20 years ago. The car had been a reliable workhorse over the years, allowing her to send her sons to school, college and early working life.
Lee said she had grown attached to the Saga and had even declined to give up the car for a new Proton under the government’s voluntary scrapping incentive in 2009.
“Even with the common wear and tear over the past 20 years, I am still able to rely on it to get me around - and I’m happy to be able to treat it to a little pampering with this makeover."
Proton Motorsports R3 engineering chief Tengku Djan Ley Tengku Mahaleel said on Friday that the company would ensure the cars perform with greater reliability, efficiency and safety after the makeover.
