The car is putting down the power well on roads. I am also running with similar mods in my S-Cross .

How bad is the torque steer? Ever feel the car want to rip the steering from you?

That look fantastic . Is it that easy to change the front to facelifted model ?

The facelifted model front end is certainly the one keeps growing on to you . I initially hated it , but now I love it

Yes, it can be done. Headlights are the most expensive part, approx 1 lakh for "face-lifting" .

Damn - a perfect fit to this thread honestly. A well executed front fascia and I always wondered if MSIL could plonk in 1.6 on facelift model, which would look a lot better mechanically and as well as to the eyes

This car has a lot of potential for mods and exterior enhancements honestly

Pure enthusiasts car for sure - Scross.

Suzuki logo should have been left in stock chrome condition, in my opinion.

+1 to that. Classy understated mods. Lovely alloys too, but I too would have preferred the stock chrome 'S' logo to the blacked out one.

That looks suave Dr.Naren

I am a bit lost here. This looks like the facelift S-Cross to me, unless the owner has swapped/updated the entire front fascia of the pre-facelift S-Cross. And if I am not wrong, the facelift never offered the 1.6 DDiS.

So is this a the new model which is plonked with a 1.6 DDiS, a typo where you have mentioned it as a 1.6 or am i missing something entirely?

Been a while, got a bit carried away with the mods :)

In my journey to build the perfect (to me) overlander, this is where I am. What do you guys think?

The two Hella Square Floods on the bumper are mounted for testing and will be moved to a flush position within the bumper soon.

Its crazy. So menacing.

Check out "4WD Action" on Youtube, an Australia based off-roading series. The protagonist "Graham" drives the same car. Will help you get an idea for future

Absolutely stunning. Looks amazing! This is what the VCross was made for and you have done it really well. Just a suggestion to make the look complete - get a winch on the front.

Have been following them for quite sometime now. Quite an entertaining series. BTW, he rolled over his Vcross a while back. I suppose he got it repainted after that from black to red/maroon

Hey thanks! I do follow his channel. They go on some really nice adventures!

Thanks! I've been mulling over a winch for a while now. But I'm not sure I'll use it. Not that the rest of the vehicle follows much logic, but still. But I do have a couple of models shortlisted.

In other news - Recent Mods - Finally got the rear lifted to match the front. Wheelwell clearance at the rear: 241mm, front: 203mm. Ground clearance: 540mm at the lowest point.
