Safari 2.2 - A face lift - Team-BHP

Schnellster · 13th April 2008, 22:38

Having some time over the weekend I have pondered on what I can do to make safari look all the more better. I have noticed that the eyes of the safari sometimes makes it look timid (in my opinion) I did some cntrl + C cntrl + V and came up with the following mock ups.

Things I changed for the face lift ( pictures in the attachment)
1. Replaced one headlight with the headlights of 2007 Volvo XC90 - left the other one stock for comparison
2. Extended the tail lights by a notch
3. Replaced the front grill.

What do you think?

Cyrus43 · 13th April 2008, 22:48

Do this and your car goes into the wierd and whacky mods thead for sure bro!!

the grille change has made the safari look like another rodent.... aka hyundai type !
you forgot to add horns on the rook like in the turbojet diesel advt!

Empty mind(read-free weekend time) is a devils workshop!!

Thank you very much,
The safari is best by itself.......

Those fronts will make the Safari look like an impotent Ssangyong.

the safari can get better, but not like it is portrayed above

@theMag: impotent ssangyong? The mahindra axe has a 2.7 L 170 BHP beast. specs seemed naish. why you say so?

I liked the first pic with the 'new' headlight.

You never know, Tata might come out with a 'different' (I dare not say 'better'

) looking Safari in another two years from now.

the pic with the 'new' headlight isn't bad. it does give a different look to the beast. and the pic with the tail lights increased by a notch, that too makes practical sense.

madan80 · 15th April 2008, 12:35

the lights were subtle..and nice... however the grill however was screaming...and tragic... the present grille looks good..

i feel spending money on improving the looks of a safari...is a complete waste! it looks good the way it is! instead spend on the diesel and do lots of traveling
