Genuine Swift Parts!! Are they? - Team-BHP

D1ISTHE1 · 27th October 2007, 20:21

Guys
Unfortunately today a DTC bus got a lil more than friendly with my baby(Swift VXI) result a broken headlight and a smashed fender. Now my first priority was to get the paint job done of the highest order and luckily i know someone who excels in the paintjob. So obviously i had to get it done outside the dealership. What happened was when i gave my car for the job, the guy got the parts thru his own source (as far its genuine i have no issues). The fender he got was in some biege matt kinda finish n color instead of black what i ahd seen earlier in service dealerships when i had a zen.
Can anyone please advice on how to identify an ingenuine fender(body) pannel in its raw (unpainted) state. Secondly the head light, is it supposed to be of LUMAX ?

Plz advice

I think OEM headlights are Stanley. Check the one that is not broken for what make.

It could be Lumax, Since they are the Largest OEMs to Maruti, TATA and others, AFAIK I recall a case study on development of the SWIFT in which KBX ( Kalyani Brakes) and Lumax were discussed.

I have seen some body parts,including Panels,Bumpers in Offwhite state also,So Don't really suspect them to be fake.

You can watch for the Manufacturer Information Embossed on the Parts, Usually a Circular Date Code is also given.

The black bumpers were for cars which ciome with unpainted bumpers in the base model i think. The newer ones have the beige kindas material which is painted over. Still, this is my assumption
