Thanks Sahil! And no the badge will remain! After all only BHP-ians know about it, what about the rest of the people who will try & show me their 'quick' car's potential on the road!

Congrats Ishan, Ive always liked the Getz CRDi. Have fun. This is a successful car in Europe, so theres reason that she's good. I think i will replace my Lancer with a Getz and rebadge it too !!

Thank you Sir! I think it's a fantastic car but don't know what you would want it for!

No sir, even if you put a Lancer badge on the Getz I don't think people will get fooled.

LOL!!

When I saw the interior pics, I was pretty sure it was a CRDI, as only those have a wood-coloured console near the ICE (IMO the only bad-looking piece on the dash).

Since the engine pics have let the cat out of the bag, I am now getting reminded of the other thread of missing logos in Mumbai. BTW, is Mumbai also known as Bhaiyyaland? :)

LOL No man, I bought the logos from the dealership! Want to see the bill for the same??

And no Bhaiyyaland is Eastern UP/Bihar!

Congrats! In my opinion, the non-body coloured handles don't look bad at all, since they are the same shade as the black rubber strip on the sides. I feel you should not get them painted. Of course, this is a matter of personal preferences.

I'll think about that at a later stage. That handle pics was acutally an excuse to post the 1.1 sticker!

LOL! Thanks Sammy, glad you enjoyed the prank!

I mean here I was reading posts about people congratulating you for a outdated,underrated car(IMO).Man, I thought how two faced can people get.But then I got to know about the wolf in sheep's attire and I came to this conclusion that this forum is better then watching some of the Vikram Bhatt movies :)

See IS, most of us here are still sensible people! Glad you're enjoying being on the forum!

Well I got something better, a FIAT keychain with the trademark "Built Like a Tank" build quality! And it was great VFM too, since I got it for free! :D

Getz CRDI must be one power packed hatch.

By the way, many OHC owners here would find it hard to believe that your Dhanno was getting heavy on the pocket for maintenance. Care to share some details here or elsewhere?

Thanks Amitoj! Will let you guys know about the OHC finale too. Nothing too surprising or shocking there though.

I guess the delay in getting new rims & tires will help in the running in process :p

Thanks Kedar! And yeah, the running in is a test of patience!

if ur idea is to have the 1.1 badge and fool people with the acceleration - i can then suggest a name for ur ride -

you can call it RUPA - ( yeh andar ki baat hai ! )

Thanks Narayan but that was the corniest name ever! been watching too many Govinda movies, have you???

Dont ask send him a set, he will remember you forever

LOL! Thanks Riju! And don't bother with the mats JK!

Riju, arriving in your town Sunday night, let's meet up!

I was just going to suggest that. Lose the fake wood, it looks ghastly! My suggestion will be to either put Carbon Fiber sticker or swap it with the panel from the base version (non-wood finish). On second thought, the CF may not go well with beige.

Ouch Deep! You too a fan of Govinda movies?? :p And yes, the fake wood is on it's way out soon!

The cat is outta the bag. Too soon, bewda, too soon!

PS: If you want the big-heads to come after you, please put in the corny "turbo", "nos" and "NFS" stickers on your backside (err..hatch) as discussed, so that there is some incentive for them to teach you a lesson.

Hahahah! That would be too obvious Santhosh! Let just the 1.1 badge fool the boy racers!

hi , congrats on your new car & awesomecolor aswell , best the onroad price of 5.5 lacs for the monster.

I was wondering how can a 1.1l be torquey when every one knows the engine is from santro , finally the Cat is out of the bag lol: and realise it is a cheetah :uncontrol

Thanks Arjuna! The good on-road price is due to a good deal arranged by Ricky63's reference & low road taxes here.

For once i thought, after driving KP's getz , why did you not buy the 1.5.

Congrats and yea now no one can complain that you did not think about the performance part of it.
Cheers Ishan Ji :)

Thanks Abhinav! Your RS better watch out!! :D

After the car that had an engine whose genre could not be matched by the present motors at all, this 1.1 was shock.
But what I really wonder is that how 1.5 was changed to 1.1. If its paint/PS job, it was done rather flawless perfection.
The first picture of engine bay and I was sure its not 1.1 and in the next image it was written on cover " CRDi ".

Congratulations!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the game!

Thanks Louis! And yeah, removing the VDi & DDiS badges should be a good start!

LOL! Yeah Delhi's safe till then! After the running in, God help the rest! And running in is no fun man, especially in a car which does 100 kmph at 2000 rpm in 5th gear! The temptation to floor it is too inviting!

This Getz crdi is something else man. I had a ride in it the other day. These Hyundai guys make some awesome diesels. I remember the Accent 3 pot crdi was shaming bigger better cars on the road. Then the Verna and the Sonata crdi and then they went mad and plonked this into the getz. Youre gonna go bonkers and Pete-ify it. Congrats yet again.
Chal ab tyre jaldi badal de!!....er do they make this with an auto box??

What are you calling her, Jr Dhanno, Basanti, Mausiji or Gabbar??

Thanks you Gogi bhai! And yeah, going full on bonkers is definitely on the plans! No auto box for this car sadly though, I know you would love to "Gift" one to Priya bhabhi! :p

And no names decided yet but Gabbar or Mausiji sounds nice!:D

Lol what was I thinking while typing.
Sleeper it should be thanks for pointing out Ishaan.

And I was right.
that was a neat photochop job:thumbs up
Congrats again.

Thanks Akshay, she's indeed a sleeper! And credit for the photochop goes solely to Gunbir!

Does it come with the yearly birthday donations too?? If yes, then I'll gladly rename her Behenji!

To give it some background, Dhanno was one of the famous ladies in Khushwant paaji's book; Company of women! Yes, the musky beautiful housemaid who raised upto all the writer's fantasies. No guesses why our Tire walla bhaiyya chose that name for his dearest love. Now when it comes to it's replacement, what else but call it Padma? The spectacled, no strings attached lady with the prowess of a lioness hidden under the tender soft, shy looks. Matches well but the name isn't too north kind. Sounds too madraasi, eh? He he he..
How about calling it Cyrus? :p

Zak, stop smoking that exotic stuff!

Hahaha! Muneem, don't spoil the backup monitor too please! And thanks!

Hey what about desperate times ??????????

I'ts about wrong being done right at the last moment, i didnt complete my post
here goes

1) Obama should have replaced Bush
2) Lot of people in the BMW buying world thought that Chris Bangle was overrated.
3) Goodwin was fired from the seat of CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland.

All this, my friend, happened before you bought the Getz.

Times have truely corrected, my wise friend, I join you in the celebration of correctness in the financial world.

Holy Tamale, have you thought I forgave you ?

Naah, but a hearty congratulations on pouring in the miserly stuff into the tank, join me now in doing what I have done for the past 7 years :-)

Ain't it funny ?, if not you are not a Bourdain fan. (EDIT) A Bourdain believer !

Cheers
