Actually y not...no matter wat rim size u use, the diameter of the tyres and rims are abt the same...usually not more than 1-2% difference...the spare tyre can be used to last till the nearest workshop...

tempted to change rims...cant decide btw 185/55/14 (dun have black w red ring design) or 195/45/15 (worried full turn and full load might hit wheel wall)
Which will be advisable?

My FIL worked in C&C...he mentioned the new alarm in the key is from KIA, not contractor...those with separate alarm is installed locally in sg... The new ones were done up in Korea and imported together with the car. When i got my keys...they gave me 4 keys..2 with remote 2 without...thats the difference..

U can demand for boot light..go to the workshop and keep ur SE notified...demand for it...they shld have standard quality checks and similar models shld come with same items. If every vehicle differs, there is no QC at all!
But i dun tink picanto has glove compartment light...

Actually above 80-90kmh effect of spoiler can be felt for a normal salon More aerodynamic, lower FC. The effect of a spoiler (get a GT wing instead) can be felt at 100km/h above, especially for a small car.

Btw im using shell 95
If u guys realise...for auto rides, if u step constant pressure on the accelerator, more power comes in when rev hits around 2.2-2.4krpm...anything above 3krpm not much torque felt...

Does it mean responsiveness or transmission?

Yup...most spoilers r for aethestic purposes oni...
Real spoilers for stability will oni be effective oni at high speed, and of coz pressing ur vehicle down and increasing fc ultimately...but den again...if u have a racing car...y bother abt fc?
