Would love to if my car was black. But to each his own.

Well The Centre Console Is Stock Silver Finish. The Gear Knob Might Cost Somewhere Around 400/-.. The Steering Whell Costed 3700/-

it would depend on the ways its done..the paint specially..and the more clear coats you have the more shiny it becomes and better the light visibility becomes!

Even though i'm not a big fan of chrome alloys but i feel the chrome wheels suits the black car the most.

I feel the same way too kevin pietersen, silver alloys & grill look great on a black car.

Hi guyz...
Since this thread is related about Esteem, whats a close match for an engine replacement for esteem? Cuz a fren of mine is interested in it; But i don't think esteem's engine can be swapped for another due to it's small cabin for the engine.... Hmm. Unless you can prove me wrong...!!!

panky12345 · 12th September 2007, 19:45

you can contact autophysce for vertical door kits!

i think a baleno engine (g16b) would be good if you can find one. if it can fit in a zen it can fit in an esteem.
