Re: PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India

Must be one of the cleanest E 350 facelift conversions around. I've seen this particular example on road and the quality looks top-notch.

Can't say the same about the selection of rims on the finished product

Not sure whether my car is eligible to stay in this thread.

Happened to see this car in a Ford ASC, must have come for servicing or repairs, during the time when I went to drop my car for the same.

No offence, but those ‘mods’ aren’t well executed, but improper fitments and paint. And frankly, the tyres are definitely an overkill, along with the fake exhaust.

I mean, function over form, please. P.S. The Fake spoiler.

I quite like it.

The tyre letters could have been done without though.

Re: PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India

Thank you for your candid feedback. Yes I agree on not so good execution as most of the "Mods" have been carried out by myself as DIY projects. Since I am no professional, there has to be some gaps and misses. Still learning from those misses and gaps though.

About this modified Ford Figo:
The Exhaust: I wanted to go for remap due to its under powered engine however unfortunately there is no remap available for Figo Petrol. Checked with multiple modifiers in India. I checked with few people who are into this business and according to their experience and feedback, I got K&N Stock Replacement Air Filter along with Free Flow Exhaust System (not just the end can or rainbow tip but its end to end). I could have got an original HKS or Borla but considering my budget, I opted for Silencer Garage. But not sure whether that should be considered as Fake Exhaust barring HKS tip.

The Spoiler: As we know there is not much options available for Figo in the market in terms of exteriors especially for first gen, I had to source these spoilers and it works well for me. Drag is lesser and traction is maintained very well.

Tires: Not sure how these tires are overkill as the up-size is within +/-2% of stock tires and I guess this is what recommended. Only the width has been upgraded to 185 as compare to stock 175. Rest Aspect Ratio and Radius has been maintained at 65 and 14" respectively.

But yes, thank you once again for the feedback and will try to make it more neat and classy. Truly appreciate it.

I atleast dont think the upsizing the tyres is an overkill. I would have liked it if it was even fatter. But the white letters does not go with smaller tyres. It looks better in an off roader or race spec car, not on a street car. My personal opinion though.

Re: PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India

This is what I have. 1st pic is taken in the basement (dark enough) to check the precision and 2nd pic is of DRL. It is actually a switchback shroud.

I cannot comment on the "improper alignment and fittings" but I can surely tell you that your car deserves to be in this thread. Modifications are very personal and I believe they are reflective of one's personality. Nowhere is it written that only subtle mods look good. Your Figo sure looks loud but definitely not weird or wacky. In fact, it will not look out of place in our own version of The Fast and the Furious movie, if anyone made one.

Quite like your mods, first pic seems to be taken with a fisheye lens/mode, which makes the car look weird, other pics too seem to have grains due to low light!

Better pics would surely help. Any links for that strap thing on the bonnet? Need few mods for my 5 year old swift, small things like that will keep the car interesting I guess.

While so much is being talked about pollution and it's effects, isn't it counterproductive for the environment to have the catcon removed? One may argue that their contribution to polluting the environment is minimal, it does contribute to the issue.

On the spoiler, I am confused on how drag would be reduced and traction maintained/increased at the same time?

Re: PICS : Tastefully Modified Cars in India

Here is a Jeep Compass that visited my neighbourhood today. IMO, the wrap is neat but the rims seem wacky(should I post in that thread?) Also, I can see some significant paint scheme inspiration from the DC Polo
Here is the Compass (and the Polo for comparison),
