Proton Exora FL uncovered front - on LHD test car

Paultan has a new photo of the allegedly Proton Exora facelift with LHD steering location. From the photo, seems that the front end zero camouflaged. Perhaps because this is black car and hence the tape can't be seen. But anyway, the front end of Exora FL/turbo looks miles better than the current one. Full-width chrome hood garnish gives an impression of flatter front end to displace current bulbous look. Taller outer bumper air intake give the impression of width, together with horizontal inner section with inward foglamp mount.

The rear end is however still camouflaged. The rear combi and lower bumper valence is still taped up. Anyway, things are looking good. Good to hear too that Exora is due to exported to left hand drive market too as current domestic sales of circa 2500 units permonth is far from excellent.
