Petrol or Diesel...wanna know like DLS or DLX or.....u knw. Plz mention the year in which this new style was implemented.

Just googled (Images) "TATA Indica 2001", and the new style had "Indica V2 was launched in 2001 "....that confused me even more!

Old Style;

Rear -

Front -

New Style;

Rear -

Front -

well..i bought mine in 2004 june..and this model released a few months before that..so i guess it released in early 2004..all models from then on come factory fitted with side skirts,valence arches(if thats what its called)..and the new tail lights and front clear headlamps..

Guys, I've a Indica 2004 DLG and it's fitted with a K&N performance air filter and I'm looking for some further modification like Variable geometry turbo, CRDi (with ECU remapped), carbon fiber hood, free flow exhaust, lighter sports car seats for weight reduction, performace rims and tyres, performance suspensions (KONI or something).
Can someone suggest a specialist for these in NCR region and how much will they cost.

[COLOR=black]Can't we replace the stock turbo of Indica with a variable geometry turbo? Let me know if there are any technical reasons. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]Yes, I know Indica is a sluggish car that's why I’m looking for the performance upgrades. Tata motors did a good job by putting a turbo on that motor, which increased its performance. But, I'm look for even better performance. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]Instead of investing 4-5 lakhs in new patrol car (which can only provide 60-70 horses), I would prefer investing that amount in my existing Indica which can generate close to 100 horses and of course lot better torque then the petrol hatchbacks. [/COLOR]

even i have a diesel indica, and as far as i think, there wont be any problem, in buying a turbo and fitting it on the engine, using some parts from the indica turbo. well i dont think, a vgt and a crdi system is available in maket as yet, so you will have to stick with a normal turbo... also, propane fumigation will help increase the power by another 20%... a ported and polished head would definately help....

Why not put in a new front Bumper, Fog Lamps, Grill and Rear Lamps of the New Indica V2 XETA/Turbo 2007 Platform.
They are Direct Replacements, No modding required..!

New Wheels, Tyres..! :)
