A little Malaysian gem: Japanese owner takes Daihatsu Mira, turns it into Perodua Kelisa, with a twist!

Once in a while, a car goes viral, and it's always refreshing when it's not some looney caught in a dashcam video. This is one such case – there's a Perodua Kelisa roaming the streets of Japan, with a little twist.

Uploaded on Facebook by who is presumeably its owner, Kenji Hoshino, this is Daihatsu Mira converted to look like a Kelisa. What makes it even more unique is that it's the three-door variant, and not the typical foor-door types that served as the base car for our Kelisa.

The car in Hoshino's photographs is certainly a faithful homage to the growing Kelisa subculture in Malaysia. Tastefully lowered on aftermarket five-spoke wheels, it also sports Malaysian numberplates contained within Perodua frames!

Nothing short of A for effort here, and we think this 'Kelisa' will be quite the sight to look out for amidst a sea of similar-looking Miras in Japan.
