Utterly not advisable, and socially irresponsible.

You'll find my very strong feelings about that in other threads on the topic!

It makes your car more dangerous to you --- the force of an accident is taken by the chassis, not by the bit that is designed to crumble, but much more seriously...

It turns your car into a killer machine.

Accidents that could have been relatively trivial , a broken bone or two, become fatal.

How many pedestrians do you want to kill?

There's no way to put it gently. This is not the way to go.

I true dat (I agree).

Manik bullbar will only save yer car upto some extent. Have you seen Ashu car. It has a bull bar for 5 - 7 years now and you can ask him. Its not at all good. The only benefit is when u rear end someones car their back light breaks and yers saved. PERIOD!

Once the love for your car is gone then kiss your life goodbye.

I have advise sell the car.

I love cars and if you want to smash your car then please crash into a truck next time so you will also feel the pain.

Glad to hear it

But I think somebody already said that even that thin bit of car body is giving false sense of security already!

Bull bars are for farmers and foresters: they have no place on ordinary roads.

Good then before u get your car fixed remove the exhaust (good for nothing only makes noise like engine gonna blow up any second) and i wish i could say the same for K&N (crap - no offense), but as its giving you FE improvements keep it.

Then get yer car fixed and shod them with Michelin and then i will show you how to take turns @100+.

And no need to sell the car all there are just some small dents on doors and stuff that will come out easily.

List of stuff you need to get done (print it or note i down)
1. Remove the exhaust and get back to stock.
2. Denting Painting and getting car fixed.
3. Get suspension fixed
4. Get the car serviced good and flush the engine.
5. Change tyres

Last but not the least start driving slow. Remember this Car doesn't have to feel you, but you have to feel the car.

After all this is done then we will see if your car is worthy to drag with mine.

P.S. I am not advising him to sell the car because i dont want the NHC, Skoda Superb and Inovas to have the same fate as his Alto. So please dont encourage him to sell this car.

bro you are going to be with the whole next week while the car gets repaired and repainted the first four step which you told me are gong to happen very soon and last step will take place in the following months as soon as the current set becomes racing slicks

and you know dads is never going to let me touch the other cars so no need to worry of them getting in the same condition as the alto
