Yes exactly it is was the demo car for MTX. The distributor bought it down to coimbatore all the way from mumbai to get it done.

Here are a few pics taken from RM Cars - Home

The steering looks damn amazing. Wanted to see the front. Frankly , the car doesn't look bad IMO.

But in the 4th pic...the right front wheel is also from the stock V version of the Innova..so rule out shoddy puncture replacement!! its plain weird!!

...Ruined a beautifully modded vehicle! paint & graphics are top-notch IMO...seem to be done by someone who has good taste!

@ AyAn!

The car when brought down to Coimbatore was brand new and had even the seat plastics on it. And it was taken back to Bombay in the condition as shown in pic 4. Knowing very well the condition of our roads the MOMO rims would have been in a different shape on reaching the distributor.

The body kit was done at a place called Road Runner in Coimby which was the first place to start off with body works for cars over there.

The paint was done by another person who is considered to be one of "the best" in Coimby .

Yes its a beautiful kit. One must see the quality to actually realise it and the finish is one of the best.

Its the D-4D diesel. Stock engine!!!!!!!

That Escort-Sonata looks like a mutation gone horribly wrong!

manujkansal · 3rd March 2009, 02:54

the innova body kit looks good but the colour choice doesn't appeal to me. and for the escort-sonata combo, well 'no comments on that one. that is too horrible.

Innova is a good job except the colour!!I too liked the steering bit!!

mobike008 · 3rd March 2009, 12:15

I hated everything about the Innova. Right from the color job to the dhabas at the back that i am assuming are the woofers to the gaudy interiors. Right vehicle in the right thread

The Innova is now purchased by someone in Thane. It is quiet frequently spotted. It was also present for a motor show in Mumbai, sometime back.

The gypsy on the previous page seems like a neat job, except for its headlights.

Did anyone hear that Innova? Anybody having a first hand report?

hell boy · 4th March 2009, 00:43

Yes i was among the lucky ones. Its been almost close to 3 yrs now and from what i remember it was a huge noise maker (obviously it is an MTX demo vehicle). But at the same time the quality of sound was not sacrificed. Not irritating to the ears.

A nicely executed install!!!!
