Talk of the Town, my Matte Red Esteem!

Panel gaps at the rear are too much. Alloys are fine IMHO. How much did the paint and the painting cost you ?

All the gaps will be taken care of!
Hang on till the work is over , will tell the pricing.

wildchild4lyfe · 7th December 2009, 12:14

the pricing is gonna be a total shocker!!

Congrats on a fresh coat of paint. She sure looks hot. Since you have modded the interiors to Type-II, why don't you the whole hog & replace the front bumper, bonnet & the HL to Type-III ? This will get you clear lens HL and the new grill too.

ashutoshb · 8th December 2009, 00:59

nice ride!

ever thought of smoked lamps, black rims?

Cyrus43 · 8th December 2009, 01:27

Last but not the least I would Like to thank NIKIBUSA for his time and efforts to get the body work done and the last minute decision to go for the twin tip exhaust.
The Exhaust node is now music to the ears of Petrol Heads.

nikibusa · 8th December 2009, 03:55

Thank you Yogesh... I really would not like to say much, but thank Yogesh for keeping faith in me and letting me play with his car and do the changes as in when required.

I would love to see:
1. Black wheels
2. Fog lights
3. New Indicator lights in the front
4. Decent body kit (not too loud)
5. Spoiler (if possible)
6. Headlights need a replacement
7. Why need a number "plate"? Stickers would do!

Waiting for the updated pics!

Nicely done up esteem.Matt finish in red makes it subtle and lookable.
Interiors are looking good with Red trims on grills.Steering can be a classic round racing type (momo style) and that should do.
Good Job.

jp2u · 8th December 2009, 11:06

Esteem Rocks
