One among a lot of things I plan for my zen. Next time I'm down there, need to take her to a reliable workshop to look on her mileage as well. Its around 10 now. Shall PM you then.

it can be retrofitted. Could not get cost details though.

Searched in my old photo albums. Could get only 2 decent photos. Both are not great in quality as they are by the mobile phone camera as I was not into DSLR photography then. First one was somewhere in forests near Jog falls on way from Bangalore to Honnavar and second one was near Om beach in Gokarna.

Have been a bit occupied with work off-late. Will take some time this weekend and provide a quick update.

Also, got some body repair work done at Sai Colorium, details in next post.

Nice review of a cute car vasanth. "Planning to sell it to a worthy owner" shows how much love you have got for this car.

My uncle had the same lxi variant, but it was a 2006 version I think. I used to drive it pretty often as my uncle doesn't know to drive and his son was a relative beginner(lucky me). It is a very nimble car and used to give 17+kmpl regularly.

The zen still looks cute and a lot better compared to the later iterations IMHO.
