Utsav, you very well know that I am not a technically sound person. Thanks for the right information. Yaar, DRLs will be reduced to one pair only in a short while.

Thanks a lot brother, your suggestions are accepted. I shall make sure that the car shall be improved upon in the right way.

Tharian, you had followed my thread on this car and you know it well how have I worked upon this car. So, I always took suggestions from all of you and worked on the car. Hence, it's important to have the feedback from all of you.

As for my views,
Certain mods from your viewpoint may be good , but for third person, it may not. I would suggest going with your own ideas since it is your car.
|
Yaar, my own ideas turn out horrible, so can't take chances. It is always good to have a second opinions from those who actually know the job.

Some pointers,
Certain additions or changes depends on model to model and even if it is the same model, it may look good on another car because of the way it has been done up overall.
|
Agreed, but slightly elaborate on the same. I would like to know this in detail.

Regarding your car,
There is a vinyl overdose, I cannot figure the original color of the car.
There is a mix and match of lot of things, so there is no one theme. Keep it simple would be my idea.
Get rid of the JBL stickers, it has faded. And like someone said, a new design numberplate will do a big change.
And get a tyre foam. When posting on a highly critical/appreciative thread like this, that was the first you should have checked.
|
I will change the vinyl into a single tone and change the number plate too. Tyre Shine shall surely be used in future. Thanks for pointing it out. Appreciate it.
Quote:
And not the least, a good camera
This generation Honda City is a difficult car to make look good in the mods department unlike the first generation ones. Good going.
|
I will keep this in mind. Even if its a challenge, still I will keep working on it and definitely make it worth the praise.

Thanks bhai, it felt really nice that you gave your time for my car. Thanks a lot for the praise on the alloys.

I was only secretly hoping that you get rid off the canards and the multi tone wrap on the hood and roof but to my utter disbelief you have gone ahead and got it all wrong.
With all due respect to your individual taste if i have to give an honest opinion, I think if you would have stuck to wrapping only the hood gloss black and not the side fenders your car would still look really nice or maybe even carbon fibre wrap on the entire hood and roof would also look good. Also please change the stock tyres to broader tyres, owning a City ivtec myself in which I have done a few basic exterior mods I would say getting broader wheels was the best change done both in terms of looks as well as performance of the car.
|
The vinyl wrap pattern will be changed for sure. As for Canards I will remove them too very soon if they really do not look that good. You are right, Tyre of this car need to be changed very soon. I will be using 195 width Tyre as upgrade.

Another thing instead of the tints on the headlights, get the silver reflector inside painted black and install a set of projectors which will look really cool with the DRL's, I have got this done on my City
|
.
You know something, me and my friend Rohan, both of us are really mad about your car's projectors. Awesome job!

Anyways final suggestion.. Keep it subtle and simple. What you have got now is loud and over the top which I am sure will not be liked by many at least not Bhpains for sure.
|
I know, the car has lost out on many points. Thanks for sharing the valuable feedback. I shall soon implement the same and get back to all of you.
Thanks.
