As far as the OEM HU is concerned you can try looking for stock pocket fitment (LXi / VXi). If that is not possible than look for the Dash Kit. |
Thanks, JB!
They had (or could arrange) Lenso Dash, SHU, Maxis, NX, STA, Light and a few 5-spoke models (which I did not pay attention to). I do prefer 5-spokes generally, but IMHO the Swift looks better in multispokes (more the merrier).
The MW is an eight-spoke model with a chrome lip. The "dish" look with the lip does look pretty good, and I think it will look great when moving/spinning slowly. But the wheels may look smaller, almost like 15" ones. I've ordered the alloys in HyperSilver. I never did like the painted look, or hyper-black. the most I'm ok with is the Hyper-Titanium finish.
I almost got a 16" HRS replica of the OZ Grand Turismo (which is what I really wanted) but then it was out of stock when my dealer ordered it :(
Getting 16" models of most designs is a huge issue. Most models are not available in 16". It took me 3 visits to the dealer and a few hours of mulling over catalogs and quite a few calls to his distributor/s (I drove him crazy) to finalise on this.
The Dashboard kits for the new Zxi/dZire HU are not available here yet. But considering how common the Swift is, I think they should be here soon. (The dZire also comes with the same integrated HU, so a lot of people should be wanting a clean switch-over option soon). The Maruti guys say they cannot swap the OE HU with the Lxi/Vxi center pocket, as the dashes are built differently, but I think that is BS. In fact I almost finalised on a VXi with ABS just because of the HU issue. Anyway I did not push it as I have to survive with some kind of music for the next 2-3 months till I set up the ICE again. |
