My Love: Maruti Alto LX 2007 Ownership Review

[saroya]

Some DIY
Stock rims painted to black color. ordered fog lamps ,will receive it tomorrow

 

[Sam Dinkar]

Looking nice but hope you have used a good paint and put at least 5 coats; else it'd just chip off after some time.

Do keep your tires clean and shiny - use a tire polish regularly; dirty tires absolutely spoil the look of black wheels.

White thing is a very good quality wire,which i used to power fog lamps. Fog lamps are directly powered from battery with separate switch .

Wheel alignment and wheel balancing for 200 bucks. I spend close to Rs.600-700 every time here in Chandigarh. Guess will rather drive to Hoshiarpur and get them done next time. Kidding.

Some really nice DIY's you've done on your Alto. The fog lamp fitting looks pretty neat.
