Fantastic job dude, absolutely brilliant job done.
And the electrical OVRMs are awesome, even i thought of doing the same in my car, but my mechanic is not that much knowledgeable to find the exact OVRM assembly which can fit in that confined space. So went for normal maruthi esteem mirror. BTW how much did it cost?
Your car looks stunning at this condition itself bro. Imagine the out come, will be the best looking Amby in india.

Hi,
MRF ZVTS add some additional look to the Ambassador Gypsy disc Wheels.
Its a nice job.. Without paste work we cant get the structure of Ambassador in Royal Condition. But inform painter to reduce as much as he can to get teh shape.
All the Best.

*Speechless* Just amazing bro! Just....amazing!

What colour are you going to paint it? Choose something special so people know just how unique your car is!

Hi HKS2412 !! Super work ! BTW how do you wire the electrically adjustable ovrm's ?

Whats the cost of polo indicators and duster mirrors.

I bought the OVRM pair for rs. 5800 and polo turn indicators pair for rs. 650 and for the Ovrms wiring, the connection wire pass through the door outer frame to inside and led out from door Hinges bracket(housing) and passes through door frame bulkhead to dashboard and finally connected to control module(Switch), even switch location can be placed in door pad (like modern cars)

Majority of ambassadors in India are of white color(old and new) next comes is cream/black colors and others include light and dark of different custom color shades in metallic and ppg brands.

I am looking for a perfect color between beige and light/medium brown metallic shades to give a royal look for my car( taking in reference of DC Amberiod) any suggestions from members is welcome

I had no idea Amby was offered in red too!

You could explore the candy finish, for that 'wet' look

I'm eager to see the car after paint, no doubt it will look brilliant!
