Sorry about not being very active here guys. The mods are completed but the trailer was taking up all my time. Most of the mods are done now and so is the trailer (except the brakes) will post pics and write up a review very soon. Will also be open to the feedback.

Waiting to see pics of your brute!

I got the top, bumpers and side strips done in matte-black. Looks wicked now

Here are some of the pics without the font grill changed. Excuse me for the bad pictures as they were taken from a bad phone. By tomorrow I will post newer pics and along with the trailer.

Pending Mods:

Snorkell
Trailer brakes
ICE

Aslam, your Bolero looks nice. Why don't you join us for the next drive so that we can have a look at the beauty in flesh.

Cheers

She looks haute
Which alloys are these?
How did you fix those lights above the windshield?

raj_5004 · 29th May 2010, 18:47

i love those wheels & the roof lights.

Spitfire · 29th May 2010, 19:13

Looks awesome..

I was looking for the exact same alloys. Arent they from a US brand (made in China ofcourse). Please let me know the cost.

josepeter · 29th May 2010, 20:16

Aslam,

Tyre + Wheels = Kicka**

Please remove the diaper from the grill and RVM covers...Please!

And my wife says : the side strips should be black

Good going mate!

Thanks MC, yes I would be more than happy to join you guys however in the Hyd meet section I see you guys are off to Warangal which would not be possible with me given my current schedule. Anything around town would be great.

They were first fitted on a steel rod (hollow squared) the typical one used to make steel furniture. I will try sending a close up snap for you to know.

Yes those are Konig. Since I bought a set of 7 mags they turned out to be quiet expensive as the dealer sells sets of 4. The set of 7 costed me around 45K

Thanks Jose. The 'daiper' has already been removed and I have modified the grill to something which you had done to your Bolero (Read my earlier psots on this thread). You can see the new pictures on my next post along with the trailer, I would love to know what you and the other fellow Bhpians have to say.

Need better RVM's I dont like these either. Would the Bolero look nice when the side strips are black as well? I would like to photoshop the pic and see how it turns out to be.

Can you post pictures of you Bolero with the bumprs in matte black?

Looks awesome - probably has great road presence!

Rims and tires gel perfectly with the character of your bolero!

Some more pics please!

AslamHussain · 30th May 2010, 02:24

Here are more pics with the grill modified and also the trailer modified to match the bolero.

I will write a complete review on the 'making' of the trailer very soon.
