@Vikram

Good try and yes it can go beyond that, but it is always safe to do such things on a straight stretch than our ORR which is curvy every where. Please do not try such things on our ORR once again as the ORR is not secured with complete railing, still you can see 2 wheelers moving(which is prohibited), you can see some animals suddenly coming here and there.

The ORR road it self is bit uneven and a concrete thing is not layed properly so you will get that bumpy feeling except sedans. So no need to check your suspension[:)]

The bumpy ride could be due to varying pressure in the tires.Inflate the tires early in the morning.

I dont think its got to do with the Tyre pressure. I could feel that only on the concrete stretch of the ORR but on Tarmac, there is not bumpiness.

All the same will check the tyre pressure. I have not checked the tyre pressure since the day I have taken the delivery of my car.

Concrete is harder than tarmac.You will feel all the bumps as they won't be absorbed by the road.Try walking on concrete and then tarmac, you will notice the difference.

Re: My New Storme LX a.k.a CARBONADO

Update:

Got new seat covers for my Carbonado. Spent close to around 10 Hours but got a very neat job done for the seat covers For All the seats including the Jumpseats and the armrest.

They were of Faux leather/ regzine but have maintained the original storme look and feel.
Will post the pics soon.

Well the removed every seat except the jump seats. The covers were kind of stitched over existing fabric covers. My heart sank when the worksman pierced through the fabrics but at the end it was job done well.

they call it "Deepfit" fitting and not just simply tying strings on the covers.

I felt the finishing could have been better (in the areas not visible ) But no complaints so far.

They even embossed TATA logo on the front two seat covers. it was Pleasant job.

Re: My New Storme LX a.k.a CARBONADO

Before delivery of my vehicle a road side sofa cover guy quoted me 7k for rexin like material and he told me that he'l come at my place remove all the seats and then start covering and will take 4hrs to complete the job,and the seats would be tight not but i had an element of doubt that tight seat covers may eventually turn the seats hard so i dropped the plan and went with nomal seat cover which was vey soft and fitted within 1/2hr
BTW are those deepfited cover's soft?

Seat cover of my car got for 5k,you must be finding this as loose,isnt it?:biggrin:

It is done pretty neatly. If you see the left seat near the seat adjustment knob there is a bit of cumpling that has happened. In my case its pretty firm.

And yes the deepfitted covers are not so soft the over all feel is a bit tight which the guy said would loosen upa littlebit.

If the fitting was what you had then i guess i too might have opted for the your kind of fit. I was bit down as stock covers were pierced during the deepfitting.

Re: My New Storme LX a.k.a CARBONADO

Was it not possible to cover above the original stock seat covers ?
But good thing about your seat covers are its easy to maintain - rather than putting in laundry
And secondly if cold drink or any colour liquid by chance fall on it can be wiped quickly, unlike in my case before wiping it out the some liquid will get absorbed and might leave a spot .
Wating for your pics[:)]
