No Buddy, it is an alloy from Plati. You can see a good picture in Pioneer site. Poduct # is CD_SR100.

UPDATE - Current Mileage 19.71 kmpl!

I love my ALTO!

Am thinking of getting some accessories for my Alto. I think to add LEDs in Headlamps (Audi Style), Is it worth it? wont it get damaged with water?

The LEDs inside the car are ok as they will not be exposed to water.

What should I do?

 

[gdave]

LED strips might give your car odd look if the head lamps are of halogen.

 

[lxi.]

No, My headlamp are not halogens , they are simple bulb type!

Should I go for Blue/White LEDS?

Also, Should i go for a blue LED strip at the top of Rear Number plate?

Need Urgent help guys!

Those stock simple ones are called Halogens. Correct me if I am wrong.
It will be having yellowish light. If you stick white LED anywhere around that, it might not be looking good if both head lamps and LED strips are ON.

My advice will be go for DRL's instead of LED strips. Here in my place I can find LED strips in most of the freaky 'Auto rikshas'.

 

[lxi.]

But, If i go for BLUE LEDs?

OR

Should I not go for LEDs at all?

 

[tasuray]

@ LXI
Do not go for the LED at all. It looks cheap. It is good for Audi not for us.there are lot of mod options other than LED. You can think over that also.

 

[lxi.]

Buddy, But LEDs are cheaply available and I have fell in love with the BLUE colour!

What are the places in an alto where I can put blue LEDs?
I want All round LEDs!

Please Help!

Round led's ?

I guess you are talking about the led strips ?

 

[tasuray]

You canput LEDs : 1) under dash, 2) under body, 3) wheel arch, 4) over the no. plates and 5) behind the rims.

 

[lxi.]

Thanks.
I can put it over number plates (Depends if they are inexpensive ones) and under dash (Sure).
But underbody and wheel arch and behind rims ones would easily accumulate dust and would be a pain to maintain!

HEllo guys, After a long wait, I am back with my Alto.
The car has completed 32335 kms on the odo. Still going strong.
I have done a top speed of 130kmph after the 4th service. The car is smooth with the AC becoming more cooler than before the service. The mileage (not correct) is around 17-18 in City with 5% AC and 20kmpl on Highway , No AC.

Question- When we use AC , CAr drinks more fuel. Is this the same with Heater also. I mean, Fan speed to 2, AC button OFF, Cooling switch moved to HEAT.

ACCIDENTS- Got a nice long scratch. Thanks to BIKERS!

Here are some pics-
(Sorry, Was taken by my Bro, He was laughing and jumping ,so the pics are slightly up and down!)
