Dont miss the fake, wrongly oriented side scoops & the inevitable 'spoiler'.

This most probably is a carpenter's handiwork, and all that is wood.

looks like a school project made out of Polystyrene or more commonly known as thermocol.

Is it just me, or are the front wheels bigger than the rear ones?

In this example the front is probably from a Swift hence has wider tyres and rear from a Maruti 800 hence has the thinner standard tyres. However this reverse staggered setup is pretty common on modified (for street or drag racing) front wheel drive cars.

The Civic is a classic example:

Ohh thanks for highlighting this ! I didnt know of FWD drag racing. Interesting

The Maruti 800 Swift then definitely needs that set up !

The vehicle still needs minimum quantity of petrol to start the vehicle or to switch over to Petrol when gas tank is empty. Is this a WagonR EV variant?

Look what I spotted: Maruti EecoSport !

Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!-img_20180923_151235.jpg

He is just lugging it around - spare tyre is too big for the Eeco.

You love low profile tyres, but you also know it doesn't suit our roads

This is an MCD tyre. You know how new houses have to have a stilt parking at the ground floor?
Earlier it used to be whitewalls, now its white stilts.

A cheeky but classless mod considering the car.

re: Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!

Not exactly a mod, but I guess this deserves to be here.

Notice anything ODD?
Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!-fb_img_1538616886364.jpg

Look Closer!
Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!-fb_img_1538616888970.jpg

Still nothing, look again!
Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!-fb_img_1538616891525.jpg

Even though this is an well executed highlighting, I wonder what made the owner do something so stooping to car of this class & stature.
With that said it looks like the rim is of a similar design just in a smaller size.
Looks like to be in some part of EU. I can be wrong though.

This came up on my Facebook feed today morning via Street FX Motorsport & Graphics, Facebook page. For some reason can't post the page link.
Credits to the respective owner/Facebook page.

I believe this belongs here! The icing on the cake is where you get to see the Live to Drive sticker!
