Haha Good one.

As asked by 'mukeshus', here are the pics of my scorpio taken from my Xperia X10.

The pic's resolution had to be lowered as each pic was close to 3MB & only 1MB is allowed on TAI.

Nice Pics Raj
And which area is that Raj, as its not a tarmac.
And raj while resizing the pics make it to 1632 X 1224 , You will get the best resolution (2MP).

Excellent pics rajeev.

thanks mukesh & akash.

the area is hiranandani, where i live. though all roads in hiranandani is concrete, this area inside hiranandani is recently built & all commercial buildings are being developed there.

regarding the protruding caps, in the earlier mHawks, mahindra used to give these protruding caps. after complaints that they break easily, mahindra used to give the flat hub caps. now the protruding ones are seen only in 4WD mHawks. but i like these protruding ones than the flat ones.

Yeah i remember the cap change ,

I think its changeable?

The flat one looks good. this one makes it look like a toy car which have the same type-for wheel mounting.

I remember it was removed and kept for tyre balancing in the align store . so must be changable

Hey Raj your Scorpio is looking neat and well maintained. And yeah i also like the protruding caps only.

Aah so you live in Hiranandani , i have been there exactly a year ago!!

yes, the protruding hub caps can be changed. it can be removed from inside once the wheel is removed. but it cannot be easily sourced. not even mahindra A.S.S stocks it.

Hi Raj do you have any info regarding blue vision bulb for scorpio(Headlight).
Do you have any idea about price.
Does it voids the warranty if the bulbs are changed.
As i feel that current lamps are not sufficient during night driving Esp in highways.

 

[Umang]

raj, your scorpio is very well maintained. how old is it? and i like the bulging wheelcaps, they give a giant and strong feeling to this suv, or maybe is it only me thinking this?

if you are expecting the blue vision lights to be the white coloured lights like aftermarket xenon lights, you will be disappointed.

they are normal halogen bulbs with a very very slight bluish tinge, not visible to normal eyes!

warranty wont be void, but if you want to change the bulbs for better visibility, change to philips or osram, it will be much better.

thanks buddy. next month, it will celebrate its second b'day !!!

regarding bulging wheel caps, even i share the same opinion with you.
