| BHPian | Well I got my car back from the shop...took so long that i even forgot i had a car ... Total costs....Side view mirror set - Rs 12000 Left side door and fender paint - Rs 9600 Reliance Claim charge- Rs 1000 Total paid after Claim= Rs 7500. which i thought was pretty neat, else I would have ended up shelling out 22k just because of a stupid his driver who couldnt stay in his lane...! Arrrggg! Feels good to be riding again. They oiled n greased some stuff so now the car is running smooth as a babys bootehh!! Love the new lights. I just go wow everytime I look at it... hehe. Gonna get back on the Rim search soon. |

| BHPian | How about White Lenso Samurai SC02? I had a few minutes to browse by a shop today to check on some alloys.. they had 17" White Lenso Samurai SC02. It was definitely worth the thought... would white alloys on Black be overkill? Heres a quick Photoshop Mockup. I think it looks cool. But the f-in things cost around 9k a piece! Thats 45k (5 pieces) for the alloys alone! |

| BHPian | I have been to around 3 shops now, and the general scenario is they will have ONE 17" piece that has been shelved for years now, and they try to push that out. They will not even nudge for an alternate option or order from a catalogue, which is what they usually do. Annoying!! The funny part about this is, First I asked them for a price and they said 11.3K per piece...then I asked another guy in the same shop and he said 9.2k Dont these things ever have legit price tags?!?!?I think "This happens only in India" says it all  |

 I had the same experience when I checked alloys for my car. I think this looks good. (Although am not a great fan of white alloys especially on a black car.). Lenso is expensive, but 45k is way toooo much. For my car they quoted 25k for 4 (15"). I thought that was expensive  .Why dont you try some other brands? I really like "AC Schnitzer". Why dont you have a look at the pic. I know this is very common and outdated. But I really like these. I think AC Schnitzer wheels are expensive. But there are many replicas nowadays. Add a low profile tyre to it and it will be awesome.! | |

| BHPian | Yep gonna try out other stores and brands. Most likely I will have to make a trip to EKM and check out my options there. Beginning to think TVM does not have enough options for my taste . |

| Side view mirror for 12 K? that sounds expensive.I will be better off without using them in the city Tried placing a Sony Portable DVD player just like your panasonic to my altis .But the anti-skip pad is not doing a good job.Bough it from shop or through ebay? I hope you have gone to most of the shops in trivandrum for the accessories.So which one do you recommend? |

I hear ya. I just wish there will be a day in Kerala (Or India for that matter) where one can drive with the mirrors wide open and not worry about them being hit by some random moron! Or park it out in a lot and not worry about some dodo bending the side mirrors the opposite way (backwards)! Annoying! On a positive side, the side view mirrors are motorized, even if they are bent backwards, it snaps back into place once the key is turned on. I dont have any complaints about the anti-skid pads I have got. You put this thing on any glossy surface, and it wont move an inch. THe player sites comfortably and does not slide arround during a drive. Ofcourse you can hear a tiny vibrating sound of the base bouncing against the dash board, but that depends on how bumpy the road is. On highways it just sits there as if its glued to the dash. I am attaching a picture of the one I use. Not sure where I got it from, but I remember it was from a very common store. From the top of my head the names that pop out are either Spencers or Car Palace at Keshwdspm. Last edited by jocreative : 11th September 2010 at 14:43. | |

| BHPian | Also make sure the top of your LCD does not touch the wind sheild. That could cause some annoying rattling. My player has tiltable screen (not sure if yours does, if it does, then its awesome!) so I can manipulate the angle of the LCD screen. Its pretty slim and handy. Long journeys would become boring without this now! Battery life is around 4-6 hours on full charge. Haven't had the chance to try it longer than that |
