supremeBaleno	What kind of grill is it ? The old honeycomb type that came on initial Balenos - I love that one.	14th June 2007
supremeBaleno	yeah, rahul - been thinking of the tints for sometime. But worried about decrease in visibility and the installers tampering with my babe.	14th June 2007
mclaren1885	SB, the car needs tints. Btw, got a new grill for the baleno. Want one?	14th June 2007
supremeBaleno	True, it looks great in black. But maintaining black cars is damn tough. Actually its a pain to keep them clean. :-(	28th May 2007
moralfibre	Nice car and nicer choice of colour. The Baleno looks best in Black!	11th May 2007
supremeBaleno	Thanks shuvc. Updated the wheel specs. Tyre specs remain the same (did not upgrade to wider tyres).	31st January 2007

supremeBaleno	Finally, got alloys on my Black Beauty. :-)	15th January 2007
prakashc	hey. cool car. good to drive and very comfortable..	22nd December 2006
prince85	I installed Film_Pro tints in both my Esteem as well as the Baleno without having anything to do with the door-pads. Hope it helps my friend.	22nd December 2006
prince85	You can check out yourself by asking your local accessories store which install sun-films on the car if you are in any further doubt.	22nd December 2006
prince85	SB, I am extremely sure that the installers won't have to open up the door pads or for that matter even touch your doorpads inorder to install sunfilm	22nd December 2006
Surprise	Superb. Badly alloys are needed for your black beauty. Car looks GREAT	8th December 2006
supremeBaleno	Found that the spoiler does not really add anything to the looks of a Baleno, like it does for the OHC.	7th December 2006
sureshshanmugam	Why? Not attracted towards the Spoilers	29th November 2006
supremeBaleno	hari, that was 4.5K. Will try to put up more interior pics.	14th November 2006
hari_rama	hey tht seat covers are superb...how much did they cost u???can u post more interior pics?	13th November 2006
supremeBaleno	sivadas, I know, I know.. :-) Have been seriously thinking of alloys for sometime now.	28th October 2006
supremeBaleno	prince85, are you sure about that ? I remember seeing them open up the panels of the car.	28th October 2006
sivadas	supremeBaleno, your car is begging for alloys!! Please do it. But don't ask me to sponsor!!	26th October 2006
prince85	you don't need to get your door pads touched inorder to put tints. Its just easily pasted on the glass by the installers	22nd October 2006
supremeBaleno	Thanks, nevertouchme. @kpzen, I did think of tints, but I hate the thought of opening up the door panels etc. of my babe.	17th October 2006

revtech	if its your own car you can show the no. plate but if you take a pic of some one elses car speically a celeb when on private prop u havta hide it.	11th April 2006

hari_rama	dude the license plate exposed in 1 pic	3rd April 2006
nitrous	Those 165 tyres are no match,bro. 185s wont hurt ur mileage!!	12th March 2006
supremeBaleno	Yes, all stock. And I am sure it will remain that way. Might look at alloys/wider tyres later.	3rd March 2006
supremeBaleno	revtech, I know that wider tyres would be better for looks/stability. But don't want to mess with the 12/16 kmpl FE.	3rd March 2006
supremeBaleno	nitrous, it is the marina beach at palavakkam (off East Coast Road).	3rd March 2006
