What surprises me is that wheel alignment was done in the second service and I experienced this say just after around driving 300 kms post the second service. Maybe the service guys at Bimal did not do great job with the wheel alignment. |
Just reiterating that I did not get wheel alignment done, I got wheel balancing done. I am not sure if wheel balancing was done during service. If not done, get that done too. I hope that will solve the issue for you. By the way, did you upgrade alloys? If yes, have you fixed hub rings? If no, please do that before getting the balancing done. Quote:

I am having Continental ContiMaxContact MC5 and am pretty happy with the performance. I have driven in ghats and also in bad roads and highways. The tire is holding up pretty well. The tires offer nice grip and there was no case of grip loss till today. Touch wood. There is a bit of tire noise in bad roads - something I was concerned initially and my FIL also pointed out. But, I somehow am used to it now and do not find it too disturbing.
I am not a big fan of Momo Revenge. I loved Quantum, but it was not in stock in PCD 114.3 when I enquired. However, the beauty - Black Knight was available and I did not think twice before okaying that. A decision I will never regret Quote:

IMHO, the performance of stock projectors is just above average. I expected much more from a HID projector setup. I can live with it, but it is not superlative. Any upgrade is good upgrade - provided it does not void your warranty. Make a wise call. I mean, even for engine failures, Maruti can be expected to say it was indirectly caused by the headlight upgrade Quote:

Frankly, this is something I would not even think while in warranty period. I usually love to enjoy things in stock for some time before actually thinking of an upgrade. The two reasons why I upgraded the tire and alloys was - 1. Tires received universally poor reviews and alloys made sure the car was sporty in no angle. 2. Neither of the upgrade will void the warranty. Quote:

Me too thinking of wrapping the chrome grille and the body-color part on the bumper housing the number plate in black. Confused between matt black and gloss black.
My spoiler is body color and I will let the ORVM and spoiler in white itself - at least for the time being. However, cosmetic upgrades are purely the choice of an individual - go ahead with your upgrades and share the pics. Will be useful for some of us who are in two minds.
