Re: Maruti Suzuki Alto LX: Now Spiced Up (Pg.12,13)

DRLs are compulsory in Canada and in some East European countries viz. Bulgeria etc.In those countries where weather is foggy in the day time DRLs are very useful. It is not compulsory in US.It is mainly used for road safety purposes in a low light situation. This is not required most of the parts of India. In India, it is used mainly for looks of the cars. DRLs looks good in a white car like you. Once I checked price - Small one is (pair) of Rs.1200/- and Big one is (pair) of Rs.3000/- (some Chinese brand).
Regards.

Yes DRL'S will look good in your white Alto. Where are you planning to place it?

BTW i am planning to go for DRLs. I saw them at an outlet in Ranchi. These had white illumination and hopefully will suit my ride. Any suggestions guys, i dont want my car to look like a wannabe or overdone.

Pictures would be helpful and also an idea of location where you plan to fix them. I have seen several cars with DRLs which are improperly placed and don't look nice.

Most of the cars I have seen have these stripes located on similar location. To be honest, I do not fancy them.

A usual case with petrol head. :biggrin: Get something for interiors if you haven’t or better invest on useful accessories like GPS.

It all depends , i feel it will suit your Alto. It looks bad on few cars though.


How about Projector headlamps with HID'S?[evil]

Off topic : i am thinking about a steering mounted after market remote i.e. by which I can control the ICE or can attend the phone calls. BTW I have Pioneer HU without blue tooth. Now I need the suggestions about the brands, price, technicalities etc.

Thanks in advance.

The scratch looks to be a minor one. When you leave your car for service next time you can ask them to do a touch up job.

Yes, All it requires is a touchup job. Its not a big one.

Akash : How much did it cost you for the ORVMS, Spoiler?

Any idea of how much will a S (suzuki) badge cost?
