I don't like that chrome caps on the side mirrors, but overall the car is very nice

Don't have at the moment more (if you want to check a seat cover it's made by user from polish team). I have also others pic, but not from my car : not a velour and leather

They fit very good, because they was made special for Matiz, not like some parts that we can buy and install on many cars.

Here's a photo of emblem that i want to install :
Rear (already bought and waiting for a better weather)

Front (problem is that shops in Poland doesnt have it, so I must seach for it: with vetical pin)

Im also looking fot caps like this :

btw Don't remember when I was using english last time...

I like that you really care for details. Like those emblems. I like the seat covers, i've been looking for some for my nexia, but i found only crapy ones

I also like the clear tail lights... when i had a matiz, i tried to find something like that, but without any result

Andutu TZH · 06-02-10, 20:52

I did not know there are clear tail lights for Matiz, pretty car, there more or less common Daewoo in Poland?I apologize for my english English i better speak than written

Clear tail lights are very hard to get because they are not in production (you can buy them only from second hand and a few people have it) in Matiz club they call it white raven

Daewoo is very popular in Poland and most of the model that you can see on streets is Matiz if you asking about this (but many people is joking thats not a car

) .

If you asking about teams/clubs I think that Honda, Bmw and VW is most popular... Daewoo not, but "Internet Club of Matiz = IKM" is really nice... just like a small familly

Very nice car! Keep up the good work !

Robert_MNW · 07-02-10, 10:53

Welcome! Nice car. If you ever want to sell the tail lights and clear lens indicators let me know

How much did you pay for the wheels?

Bujakashi · 07-02-10, 12:00

Wheels with tires are from second hand and I pay for them a funny price, so it was luck

Clear tail lights was on Allegro abouth month ago (its something like ebay), but people rarely ships to other coutry (price 300 zł = ~ 300 ron ?) LINK.

By the way theres also tail lights without orange they are like 1/2 or even 1/3 price of clear = 100 - 150 zł

Welcome to our community !
You have a good looking Matiz , the wheels are very nice and the tail lights.
I don't like the chrome mirrors.

Can you find in Poland, tuning parts for your engine performance ?!?!

There was maybe 2 turbo Matiz, heres article about one (translate from polish by google) : Matiz Turbo made by Grabowski

We can buy some parts also here:
Świątek
Heinrich
Magsport

- Sport camshaft ~ 650 zł
- Flywheel ? ~ 350 zł
- Sport Air filter
- Exhaust

If you want to tuning engine it cost to much (better change car)

Check this on ebay : Daewoo-Matiz-T3T4-Turbo-Charger-Kit - and even if you buy this, thats only starts of changes that you must make

Problem is now even with geting good - orginal parts, because they are bad quality... like balance lever / walking beam (some names I must get from dictionary).

Hello and welcome!
Nice Matiz you got there... I like it all, except for the chrome plated mirrors. My opinion is that chrome is only appropriate for large, luxury cars, not for small, sport-wannabe cars.
I wonder how does your intake work... because I see that the first air filter (closest to the radiator) receives air from the top, not from the side like it was supposed to. So it practically doesn't filter the air... is it just for sound?
Your car interior is nice too, very clean.
I've seen a lot of beautiful Daewoo's in Poland, on some forums... and Daewoo Matiz is pretty common in Romania also, too bad that not very many are nicely modified...
Here are some Matiz'es from Romania that I like, and the last one is my ex Daewoo Tico (if you mind the pictures, I'll ask someone to remove them):

In opinion many ppl tuning is not for Matiz

Its getting cold air from left (from the orginal part) i have also small "air hole" in hood/bumper :

The carbon shield can be rotated (the "opened" side will be more on the front side - I must change this, but its not so bad now - why you think that its not getting air from sides ?)

Filtr is working good, the second one have "3 layers" :
1. Filtering material
2. Metal with many hole
3. Spotlight metal inside (air is spinning/whirling)
