Re: PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India

The humble Maruti 800. Who would have imagined that simple mods could make the car look so good. Of course it goes without saying that the mods are done in Kerala.

All photos taken from the club Facebook pages.

Re: PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India

Hoping that these machines qualify to be here, contributing my project cars in the past few years to this thread. Sorry about the picture quality as some of these were randomly clicked in the past with mobile phone cams.

After the Yeti build (My work horse)

PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-1a.jpeg
PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-2a.jpg

and the F30 build (My highway cruiser)

PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-4.jpg
PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-3a.jpg
PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-4a.jpg

my current build - Mini Cooper S (My go Kart, hope to do track days)

PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-5a.jpg
PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-6a.jpg
PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-7a.jpg
PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India-8a.jpg

GruppeM cold air intake - Super cleaner induction kit with K&N filter
Remus Valvetronic cat back sport exhaust with resonator delete and Carbon Fibre tips
Miltek High flow cat down pipe
Wagner Tuning Competetion Intercooler
Stage 2 Pete's custom remap
KW street performance coil overs
OZ racing Leggera HLT 18x8 wheels wrapped with 225 sections
Customized spacers and wheel arch trim
JCW Brembo Big Brake Kit
JCW rear spoiler with JCW pro extensions
Navdy HUD
Chrome delete (except for brushed finish belt line)
Custom Racing stripes, custom decals and other cosmetic bits
Coding bits

With this build, as you can see, the focus is mainly on performance improvements. Some components like the JCW steering wheel with paddles, JCW shifter with SAT, etc. were part of the car already. Quite some research has gone into choosing each component and fine tuning through each part of the build. It goes to this detail that JCW body kit was opted out because it has 10% more air drag than the Cooper S body, the racing number on the side is not some random font but designed from scratch with curves, edges and angles all worked out multiple times till it seemed perfect for the car's design, Eibach spacers at rear machined precisely by the mm to achieve the perfect stance. These are a few examples of the attention to detail.

Some more build pics are in Pete's Automotive FB page and Instagram. Noticed that STI and EISK have shared some of it too. Thanks.

Damn, these pics show that you've one hell of a garage man! Yeti looks damn sweet and you've shown how neatly it can be presented on road besides its humble appearance in stock avatar

Mini tho no words - the orange shade and the way its parked in your driveway attracts more eyes alongside the enthusiasts hearts! I'm sure they have a following in your vicinity! Way to go buddy

One thing in common across all the 3 hoots here is that you've gone ahead and gave them good set of wheels that makes them look unique.

WHY WOULDN’T THEY?

Thank you, good sir, for letting us peasants salivate over your tastefully modified beauties.
Will surely like to see them in person if I ever come your way.

Wow doesn't look 5 years old at all.
What was the cost for ceramic coating ?

At first, I found the headlights to be TOO tinted, but fell in love with them the next second after seeing the text below it.

On a serious note, the car looks really stanced out. Doesn’t the car bottom out on Delhi/GoodGaon roads with this setup?

P.S - Would be awesome if you could tell me where your friend got that sticker from.

Haha, the left headlight broke due to a small accident, so we decided not to get it.
The car's lowered, and needs to be carefully driven otherwise it will bottom out a little.
We got it custom made, I designed it for him!
