Enjoy many more happy miles with the Vento. |
Thanks nkrishnap!. You are right. Pics are indeed giving a bigger look. But its a good upgrade and 205 is a good fit. Btw, I had plans to go with 16". Continued with 15" after many discussions in t-bhp. Our threads rock. Quote:

My Super Stallion (White Vento - HL TDi) is scheduled for delivery this Thursday.
How much you paid extra for Yokohama S drives (4 Nos. 205-55-R15)? Also it would be helpful if you mention the cost of your accessories like sun film, door sills, seat cover etc.,. |
Thanks Giri. All the best to you too.. Just another 2 days.
I had to pay much extra for the Yokos. There is a severe shortage of tyres and that didn't help the price. Paid 5.5k / Yoko and got 2k back for the stock Apollos. So net 14k, which is much more than what Chet and others paid a few months back.
Door sills - Around 1k.
Seats and 3m sun film - Did it through Evo (Satya at Cambridge layout). Cost me below 10k for both together. PM me for exact cost or talk to Satya (9845376094) and he will certainly get you good deals. If you want to go directly, talk to Sudham (9740622400) at Ovion. Quote:

The seats are super good, what did they cost you? Can you post a couple of pics of the door sils please.
A little bad luck on the spoiler thing. Anyways happy mile crunching, drive safely with seat belts on. |
I think most folks are not preferring Reds and we have very less on road. I love our old Octys in Red and hence wanted to go with it. Had a bit of confusion with Black earlier. I am really happy with Red now.
@ghodlur - Yes, its a little glossy. The problem is when its under the sun when there is a slight orange tint. Else its neat (For my taste again). Probably my last chance to own a flashy red sedan . And yes, will put more pics on door sills. Quote:

Thanks for taking good pics and posting it with price, it helps ppl like me to get an idea what to fix and where.
Regarding sun file, I heard Global Ruby SR 20 also good? costs 3.5k I have looked the film in Junction it has more Sunlight Reflex around 58%. |
Thanks TopSpeeder!. Thats the beauty of these threads in t-bhp. Really helped me with lots of info.
The cost of above sun film is around 50% more than what I paid for 3M SP20. So it should certainly have better heat rejection. SP30 is 37% if I am right. Quote:
