You guys drool over the Bright green Lamborghini Lp640 and i did not see anyone mention it needs to go into the Weird and Wacky jobs thread, So why does this Yellow G. The G is perfectly stock with no Mods except for the thicker tires.
Guys i have seen cars in India as well as abroad in the hideous of colours and i am sure you must have too. but at the end of the day it is the owners Choice. The Sheikh of Abu Dhabi has the brightest of colours his fleet of W126's that are in his car Museum and he says he is obsessed with the rainbow so most of his cars have it in some form or the other.

Not at all; because yellow is not a colour of my choice!

Speedy you right, when it comes to colour it is very much personal!

@hani - Will you retain the Badges and the Emblem or go for the Brabus look ? i.e No emblem.

hanmust · 13th November 2009, 23:27

Ya I'll retain Merc badge & emblems.

Friends, y'day I was in B'lore & after my jobs done I spend some time to get some fittings for my G. Got Hella 3003 fog lamps 12". But couldn't get the winch. Can any body help me out to get a winch! Preferably in south!

hanmust: looks rugged just the way its supposed to be.
could you pls put up a few pics of the interiors as well.
And also if you don't mind share the cost of the vehicle and its restoration.

Hi hanmust,

Excellent selection. Our calicut roads really need something like that with a rough and rigid make.

Hopefully it should be the one and only in the city and sure that will make it a special from all other vehicles! Can you please disclose how much you paid for this one? Any idea how much will cost for a 5 door version.

Looks like that the guy is really struggling to do the paint job in that tight room...! Don't you have a packed, quality and professional paint booth in calicut yet??

Sadiq.

Thank you Sadiq! Where are you from Calicut?

I'm glad that it's the only G in the state!

I'll inform you the price through PM later.

It's a fully fledge paint shoppe with two dust proof booths. This is one of the best painting shop in the city. Even few dealers bring in cars here for painting. This photo you see here is just a intial coat of black to point out the small dents.

You getting new lights too ? Old ones seems done.

coloneljasi · 17th November 2009, 19:09

Hey Hani.
I spotted your car at that paint shop a few days ago. My house is not far from there. I think the G will look fantastic in matt black, good choice. I haven't seen any G's in that finish, only a few glossy ones in Dubai & one in Windsor.

Anyway, looks like your car's coming along nicely. Do keep us posted...I don't drive by that shop very often

. By the way, I'm back in Calicut now. With an upcoming German car retailer. (My avatar should give a clue)

Hi,

Yah I think that will be the one and only in the state and so you can expect a lot of queries and watch out for a lot of anxious faces around you!

This G Wagons are not that much common on the roads here too...

BTW me from Kodiyathur, Mokkam.

Thanks,
Sadiq.
