Expand These full-face wheel covers are good at covering up the rims so prima facie they look pristine but I wonder if they would curtail the heat dissipation from the brakes and adversely affect braking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it is rare but seldom see this model anymore especially not many renewed COE. Expand Nice catch. This 1st Generation Toyota bB (XP30) should be almost 20 years old by now. On 5/29/2022 at 12:20 PM, inlinesix said: I think Daihatsu Materia Expand There is no Daihatsu version of this 1st gen bB. The only other badge-engineered model is Scion xB On 5/29/2022 at 11:17 PM, Ody_2004 said: Think oso call toyota BB.. not a volume seller back then Expand 1st gen bB was not formally introduced in Singapore, and those units on our road were all brought in by PI. The 2nd generation was better received because Sin Tien Seng brought in the Daihatsu variant, and then PI joined in the fun by introducing various variants of the bB to local buyer.
