Sisu nice one. I am in complete agreement. Just love it. Has about a 1000 litres of testosterone

I have seen this car on wheeler road extension. Makes a really loud hissing noise when the driver goes all the way down on the throttle. Not sure what that noise is or where its coming from.

Hahahaha. That's called a "Turbo" Whistle. It's actually a real whistle bolted on the exhaust pipe tip. So if you rev the engine, the whistle gets louder.

Check it out.

Bit overdone is an understatement, looks like this XIV has some additional functionality of a fork lift or something. What is that thing hanging at the back right corner? Wacky i must say.

Checkout the interiors as well:




How many screens, can you count?
How about dials?

WOOOOOOOW.... this is one of the best mods I have seen recently. Though a little over done, I am totally loving it. Really rough and tough.... Nothing... just nothing would dare to stand against this beast. Seeing this makes all our rides so tame and well mannered ones...

I don't see any attempt to raise the GC of the vehicle. If at all, the side-steps, the winch, the extra set of lights mounted really low on the bumper would mean the ground clearance would be lesser than the stock vehicle. So I don't see how this vehicle can off-road, which would make all the fork-lift, snorkel, winch etc pretty pointless. Most of the mods are purely cosmetic and not functional.

BUT, to each his own. So I am refraining from passing any judgement about the vehicle or the owner. Finally its his money and taste. He can do whatever he wants with his vehicle.

Wow! Thats an amazing addition to the already loaded car. Enough to confuse too. I am particularly interested in the gear knob. It looks swanky and appears to be a grade higher than the OEM gear knob!

XUV's dash as such as has enough buttons to confuse you at times. What to press, where to press.. And this one would need at least a couple of passengers in addition to the driver to be checking out all the gauges, screens and what not. End of the day driver should have his eyes on the road too, right... Also with the OEM IS screen shifted down in front of the gear shift, I feel it might be a challenge to use it. Again it could be because of the angle of the photo. Anyway both exteriors and interiors appears to be executed with good amout of perfection.... good job...

Pardon my ignorance but what is the point of all those screens and dials? I have never ever seen a car with so many screens and dials. And I can't quite figure out what each does

This guy has been able to successfully play around with the ICE. AFAIK, people suggested its challenging even to install a touch screen system. BTW, if the screen is changed, what happens to the additional data like alerts, AC mode, auto head lamp, auto wiper etc? I guess the aftermarket screen would only display audio/video/gps data.

Precisely the point djpeesh! All this overdose of gadgetry is pretty pointless.

If you look closely, you will find that the stock touchscreen has been moved down in the center console, where you have the flap for USB connection in the stock setup. So all the digital inputs still have a display.

I really dont know what the new additional displays are for. May be for more elaborate UI for the music player or a dedicated screen for navigation.

The big screen in front where the original screen was is a pioneer touchscreen for videos and stuff. He even have 2 capacitors added right next to front passenger on the right hand side so he must be having big woofers and stuff for sure.

This car looks like a walking time bomb, any time any short circuit and boom

Anyone (specifically from Bangalore) know of any upholstery shop which would have art leather/leather material matching the walnut interiors? I have been struggling to get seat covers for my Black W6. The one gsports offers does not exactly match the interior colors.

Try Karlsson in Indiranagar. He does bespoke car interiors and usually has a pretty large choice of qualities, colours and prices available!

You can also try Ceralli for custom built leather seat covers. On the expensive side, but their products speak for themselves. The showroom is in Banashankari II Stage.
