1000Horses · 20th January 2008, 14:55

HI All,
Well enough has been said and discussed about this car. I fell for it the day I saw it, around 1.5 yrs back. Finally got mine delivered on 30th oct 2007.

I am not going to write up regular review as it has been talked out too much in recent times. I am just putting few pics I took yesterday. detailed shoot out is still pending. Anyway posting 3-4 for the time being. Thanks to Vishal for helping me out.

Dealer: Metro Motors
Delivery Date: 30th oct 2007, Cedia Sports, pearl black.
Km done: 4516 kms as of today

Amazing car, amazing pics! Enjoy this black beauty mate.
One question. Is the tail light cluster stock?

toiingg · 20th January 2008, 19:39

Beautiful pics mate. She's a beauty, take good care of her.

Hi 1000Horses,

Nice job with the black beauty there. Cedia does have the curves that makes it very photogenic. Congrats on your car.

Having previously owned a photogenic black car, I can offer some shooting tips if you don't mind.

1) It is hard to properly expose a black car, especially in the sun. It is therefore preferable to shoot in overcast weather or late evening around sunset or after. There are exception to this rule, if you are trying to get some special effect.
2) Choose a breath taking background.
3) Don't use flash like in the first shot. And no people around the car, I can see somebody in the reflection.

Black Beauty Cedia looks awesome!

Take good care of her!

OT: Wow, small things, but if taken care, will produce admirable results. Thanks Samurai, yet again, simple but very valuable advice!

Beautiful. Drove a black sports a last month. Lovely car. Interior too.
@shuvd, yes those are stock tail lamps. Available only with the sports version.
