Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() whatcanthisbe; I do have tints but they happen to be of very light shade:( This was part of the dealer and I said I wanted light ones. Wanted light tints as I was new to a SUV and hence to keep a tag in traffic. I plan to get darker ones for the rear and last window glasses along with one for the front windscreen. |

| ![]() Stick to the most transparent ones for the frontscreen. Will save a lot of hassles from the cops too. |

| ![]() JK good to know that you don’t have any rattles in the truck. In one of the Pictures you posted earlier (the one below) bonnet alignment doesn’t seem to be right. There is a gap between the right headlight and the bonnet while its not there on the left. Any particular reason for this? |

Anyway if I go and check now it will be a tight fit now as I had one of my colleague lying on the bonnet for a photo shoot. The picture you quoted was taken just after I had opened the bonnet to see whats inside ![]() I went to TASS today morning. Maybe I spend 20min max to confirm that my Safaris clutch was alright. Jerish felt it had an issue, guess his driving style. Do you know: 1) You get free service/checkup if an issue that was supposed to be fixed popped back up within 3000kms or one month whichever is earlier. 2)On time delivery;else 10% off labour charge! 3) Call from Tata Call Center or so on the 4th day after you receive your car. These are some of the things TASS should follow. | |||

| ![]() Suman, I wouldnt say its due to the angle of Photograph. You can clearly see water droplets hanging there on the right , while its absent on the left side. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() An update about braking ![]() Back from a drive from Shertalla. I counted 22 merc plus a BMW in 2hrs 30min or less, the time I took to reach Trivandrum. If I can count 22 Merc imagine how the traffic was. Brakes are good. Did lot of crazy last minute braking as I had to teach an Innova driver a lesson or twice . And then with an Endeavor. I felt damn confident with the braking style. Never ever felt it drift to any side. It was pretty stable and maintained a straight line. I did hear tyres making the noise when you do hard braking, maybe I should have upgraded the tyres. but hei, I am doing it soon. Engine. Awesome. Went till 4k in 3rd gear or so. I dont remember. I did 140kmph when I could just for fun on clear roads(read 4 way road to Cochin fom Shertala). On my ride back to Trivandrum, I had fun with the Innova and later an Endeavour. It was fun seeing the Endeavour getting tiny every time I intend it to! This guy didnt want to overtake me after once I showed him what a 2.2L can do, braking/handling and in gear acceleration. I also do zigzag in my Safari coz I know how she handles now. Maybe I have said this earlier, I zig zag it the way I used to do it with my Xing. Xing with those Pontenza G111 rocked. Braking handling on turns were excellent in Xing with those tyres. Maybe I can do turns at more higher speeds than what I can currently do now. This doesnt mean Safari cant take turns at high speeds,it can. It can (and will) do it. People, dont under estimate the 2.2L; maybe its the driver maybe its way we trust each other , me and my 2.2L . Pray and hope Tata done fail me. Mileage 11.5kmpl on 4th tank fill. And, still no funny rattles @ 3000Kms . I will have 4 tyres for sale as I will be upgrading. Anyone interested?

![]() On a serious note, its good that you're getting the hang on the beast and are enjoying it to the fullest. I pray too that Tata does not fail you and the best does not fail on you. Keep it coming. | |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() I would personally advise you to show some restrain. No, the safari cannot handle like a Santro due to its size, weight and GC therefore dont let it fail you to prove that. Quote:
