I suggest Pearl White among the colors you like which looks Royal on Safari! If you like dark colors like Black / Red they look good on Safari apart from pearl White.

Today saw Advani going by Safari from bangalore airport so its good that still few VVIPs use Safari because most of them started using Innova Diesel from 2005 in Bangalore.

Regards,

Ravi.

An all black one tone Safari will have a mean prescence on the road. It will also look awesome..

It was Advani who got some 6 Bullet Proof Safaris specially made for his convoy when he was Dy PM of India.

He loves safari just like all of us.

Thank you for mentioning that the advice is FOC but that is the point of this Non-Commercial forum isn't it?

As for the advice in question, are you absolutely sure about what you're saying?? I would like to differ & say that there are lots of other alloys also which fit the Safari. Many friends have them on theirs & they are running without any problems.

tsk1979 · 21st January 2008, 13:16

Any alloy of any brand, as long as its correct PCD and size and specifications will fit the safari. m3, did you mean to say that in proper safari size only Aura is available through official channels(Tax paid with Bill and Warranty?). That may be true, because in many cases like Korean Taiwanese brands, they are grey imports, and there is no warranty

The accessories part of the deal are:

Thanks a lot to Team-BHP for their valuable support. Already told the dealer that I would come for the PDI before they go for registration, and they agreed.
