Split seat would require reworking the existing seat ( adding a metal frame for the 60:40 split)
Cabin light is possible. a simple DIY.
Day-night interior mirror - i think techno has one fitted in his alto.

How do I get in touch with techno? How can I place an order for this day/night mirror? Please help.

It's strange because I find this day/night interior mirror very useful and though it was installed in my old (outdated) Matiz, the day/night interior mirror is simply not present in an ultra modern and new Maruti Ritz, let alone an Alto LXI. Some more cost-cutting measures, I guess.

Thanks,
Melvyn

But this is one of the reasons why i went for a Spark over many other in that segment which has all the features which we see in most of the high end cars nowadays.

BTW i own a modded alto too.

or even a single reverse (white) light, as I have seen in some cars like Logan.

In some cars, the taillamp design doesn't have the facility of having a separate rear fog light (similar to the one found in Swift's rear bumper), so they use one of the reverse lights as a fog light.

Even SX4 has the same set up.

This is strange. I bought at Alto in last year (May 2008) and it came with switches on all 4 doors. The boot has a switch as well thats connected to the security system but not the cabin light.

NO I dont have a day & night mirror, what I have is a convex mirror with wider view angle. Its a bit tinted so I dont get glares.

@misquitas- Find out the part number for Wagon R's Day & night Mirror & order it from the spares guy. I think its a direct fit as on of my friend has got it similarly.

@gpa- Did you get your car with security system?

My 2005 Alto didnt have any Switch on boot door. There is a smal protrusion on top righ side where a Switch is supposed to be there & thats where I have drilled a fitted a switch for autocop

Yes, I got my car with the MGA security system. In fact, I remember inspecting the car before they put on the accessories and noticed that all 4 doors had the switch connected to the interior light. The guys only drilled a hole to attach a switch to the boot door.

Funny why MUL changes these small things on different batches of its cars.

[Technocrat]

So its the same as other cars na, i.e. all of Alto's have door light switch only for four doors & not on boot door.

[arpandiv]

Umm you mean all of the current alto's right? My alto does have a boot light switch

[Technocrat]

Yours is a VX dude we are talking about the stripped down versions of Alto LXi

Btw how do you know it wasnt added later as part of the anti theft?

[amit_mechengg]

i think some batches have it and some dont. my alto lx (2004-may )has switches on all 4 doors as well as the hatch door. also the bonnet has the switch. all are connected to the cabin light.

Alto-gether confusing, isn't it?

* Some Altos reportedly have door light switches on "all 4 doors as well as the hatch door also the bonnet has the switch. all are connected to the cabin light."

* Some Altos reportedly have door light switches on "only for four doors & not on boot door."

* Some Altos (like mine) reportedly have door light switches "only for the front two doors."

And talk about quality control.

Who knows, you might just find some altos without a door light switch on any door!

This disease was growing under my skin from the time I bought my babe.
Spoke to a doctor booked the appointment for saturday. And my babe was admitted. It almost took 3 grueling hours for the surgery to complete.
I was peeping from the window and anxiously sitting on the bench outside waiting for the surgery to complete.
Finally the RED light outside the operation theater was switched off, hhuhh I was little relived but my inner conscious was pricking of a bad news.
And the doctor arrived from the theater & said the operation was successful. My babe was rolled out with heavy chunks of load on the 4 sides.
The load on the front right side was too heavy to carry but had to leave with it.
Finally my 3 years long disease was cured last week.

I know pics speak a lot than writing,Photography was restricted as this is the secret of their success.
Any guess!!!!
