Sethu,

I like your enthusiasm in doing DIY on your car, but remember to be careful doing these things and do not become an "Abhimanyu" in "Mahabharatha"[;)][:)] after opening everything.

Yes Mr. Gurrala. I never become victim. Pls go thru my post that I wanted to do it either by a work shop or electrician or service center. As I had told in in person as well as in the threads, if I am not sure of thing I will touch it. Even at home I do [electrical/mechanical/plumbering] work I follow the same. For example, I can separate parts of a table fan or Ceiling fan, clean it and re-assemble it.

But I never venture into motor parts of the fan because I do not know much about it.

Hope I will try to follow the same for my car also.

You can get head rests from any model (maruti), fit it as I have done it in my car. Any upholstery professional can do this, cost will come upto 1.5k.
Here is my thread please refer.

@chandra: my inputs to the points you mentioned, might be of help.

1) 2008 Spark LT came with rear seat headrest. See if you can use this information and get those fittings from CASS. I am attaching the picture of my Spark with the headrests.

2) Steering mounted controls > you will get the IR ones which control your head unit as a IR remote. I have used them and works quite well, but not when the steering is rotated by 180 degress. But to a good extent it works. You will get BT enabled ones too (just search on ebay), but mine works only as IR remote.

3) Alloys: Get them for the proper tyre size; should cost you from Rs.12K to 14K depending upon brand.

That was a really nice idea. Thanks for that. In this case, headrest could be from chevy itself. may be the fittings for headrest need to fabricated separately as Mr. Varun has did.

@Chayan.. Thanks for your reply.. and regarding that BT kit i don't want to try in online becuase mine is 2011 sprak LT LPG which has company fitted music system,suppose if the BT kit is not compatable with my spark head unit then i can't do anything with that BT kit and i don't want to take the risk.if there are any showrooms which can do this in bangalore i will directly go and check there.

Hi Chandra, did your music system come with IR remote? If not these would not work.
There are other BT modules that connect to the music system via FM radio, but not that well integrated overall.
