This dosen't belong to this thread

That was just my opinion because i've seen better San storms in Delhi which were nicely done with very minimal stickers. I've seen about 5 San storms ( all different ones) in Delhi and Gurgaon , in fact theres a San storm showroom about 7 kms away from my home.

I would post the pictures of the showroom if i get a chance to pass by , not sure if BHPians would like to see the Pictures of the showroom on this thread

You're right Ankit , this is done up by Nivit Bhasin and i've been seeing it for ages now ( up for sale ) . I stay in New Rajinder Nagar so see it almost everyday.

The San Storm Showroom is on the Natraj Cinema ( Kirti Nagar ) now Fun cinema road , if you go towards Rajouri from Fun Cinema you would find the showroom on the right hand Side.

recently i saw a full bull bar installed on a Swift , i saw this while driving into pondicherry, after an hour of driving around in pondi i understood the utility of such an add-on . For sure the bull bar was a big eye sore but would have saved the car from a lot of minor scratches

the cyclists and biker simply don't care a rat's behind about a car honking especially when they are hogging the high speed lane, or for that the free left at a signal. Sorry this maybe a bit off topic here

The bullgaurds like the one on wagonR may look an eyesore, but they are proving their usefulness to the owner of the car, who loves his cars like us and wants to protect his car from these maniacs driving the road and giving scratches, dents as a token.

My car has quite a few scratches and almost 50% of them are due to these maniacs either on road OR in the parking lot (unattended). But the rest 50% are intentional scratches made by other type of maniacs, wonder what kind of bullbar should be for them.

That bullbar will end up costing the owner dear in a real accident. A slow speed crash, meant to be absorbed by the bumper, will end up deforming structural components the bullbar is attached to. A rather cheap bumper repair will translate to structural repair that will ruin his wallet.

I've seen my friend's Bolero nearly totalled thanks to a bullbar installed by his dad against his wishes. A mild crash ended up pushing the thing straight through the front end through the engine. Lakhs of rupees for the nice components crushed by the bullbar. Granted, we don't know how the vehicle would have behaved without one installed, but the insurance agent nearly refused all engine bay repair because it was caused by an "unauthorized accessory installed onto a major structural component, compromising the absorption and distribution of energy of the crash away from soft internals". It was not... easy getting the claim.

Check out the Ahmedabadi Lamborgini

It was a Honda City.

IMO, the car is not wacky except for the lamborghini sticker on the hood.

The fit and finish is nice and i guess its a civic. I believe this car was on sale at carwale.com a while back

That is DC, he has this typical signature touch of giveing these modified cars a concept sort of feel.
