Hello Everyone

Merce320 · 13th February 2011, 14:06

Hello everyone, I’ve been wanting to start posting actively for a long time, but never really got about doing so. Better late than never so, let me start by giving y'all a brief introduction of myself.

Name: Karan Veer Mody

Age: 23

Designation: Hotelier Businessman

Place: Surat, Gujarat

Hometown: Surat, Gujarat, India.

Past Rides as a part of our family Garage:
80's HM Ambassador -- Sold (a FEW through the 60's, 70's & 80's.)
1992 Premier Padmini Petrol -- Sold & updated to 1994 Maruti 1000 -- Sold
1990 Maruti 800 DX -- Sold & updated to 1993 Maruti Zen -- Sold
1993 Maruti Zen -- Sold & updated to 1999 Maruti Wagon R VXi -- Sold
1994 Maruti 1000 -- Sold & updated to 1997 Opel Astra --Sold
1996 Daewoo Cielo GLE -- Sold & updated to 2003 Toyota Corolla H4

Current Cars in the Garage:

1997 Opel Astra --Sold & updated to 2001 Mercedes Benz E320 Elegance (My Car)
2002 Toyota Qualis --Sold & updated to 2006 Toyota Innova V (Household)
2003 Toyota Corolla H4
1999 Maruti Wagon R VXi -- Sold & updated to 2005 Hyundai Santro XG (Household)
2005 Toyota Camry XLE(Mom's Car)
2010 Mercedes Benz GL450 4Matic (Dad's Car)

Upgrades on Vehicles:
My Daily ride used to be a Black Hyundai Santro XG. I had installed Aura 16" Alloys, Stanley Leather Seats and Alpine CDA-9886 system into my car. I was my first Car but eventually i upgraded to the Toyota Corolla from my Mom as she upgraded to a Toyota Camry in 2005. The Corolla is now used for the business clients. Now on a regular basis I use my Dad's old W210 Mercedes E320 as my daily car to commute to and from office as my Dad recently upgraded to a Mercedes GL450. I installed the Clear lens HID Headlights myself to replace the old faded stock headlights on the Mercedes E320. Also replaced the stock air filter to the K&N filter to enhance the cars performance. Also installed are 18" Staggered AMG Rims imported from Germany which sit on Continental Tires which change the look of the car completely. The Car came with stock premium upgrade options which included BOSE sound package, so i replaced the stock MB 12 CD changer unit to ALPINE CDA-9887 MP3 system.
Now she sits in the garage as one of my prized possessions.

I love cars. My parents say i am a natural car enthusiast. I have always loved cars and they have always fascinated me. Mercedes Benz being my favorite car i always wanted to ride in it and when my father bought one i cannot express the feeling i had as a child having a MBZ in the family.

Would really love to be a part of the Team BHP Community and share my ideas and opinions about Cars out there.

Cheers n God bless

Veer at 23 already with a Merc320 i am sure that we will see many more facinating add ons to your garage in the years to come. The clear lens lamp looks good with the white shade.

Looking forward to your mod & travel stories.
