Additional thought wrapping roof with black carbon fibre vinyl or painting it in gloss black.(If budget permits i recommend painting)

Mann! Look at that Olive green Mustang! I never thought a car could look so beaautiful in THAT color!

@THE_DRIFTER , Why not try PS job using Violet/ Purple as well as blue colors as Vishnu Already suggested?
I Remember Manza used to come with this cool Wine Purple tone that looked very suave and eye catching!

See here-
manza purple - Google Search

This was the closest i could go to the tyrian wine color which was available only on Top end Manza!!

Both the Purple and Blue are looking superb! More so for purple.

Update:
Since the car is driven 2500 kilometers since we bought her, it's time for "kitna deti hai?" factor!!

Now, in the first tank full which i got from seller for free, i drove for nearly 690 kilometers when the red light on fuel gauge came. Manza has 5 litres diesel as reserve. So it means i drove 690 kilometers on 39 liters of diesel (44l is total capacity out of which 5l is reserve). Therefore, 690/39 = 17.69 kmpl!!! and yes this mileage is with nearly 80% AC ON!! with speeds of around 100-140 on highways and normal B2B traffic in city.
So, this 1.3 Mjd is rocking in both mileage and speed.

17+ FE for a 10 year old Sedan with 80% A/C ON seems very good - Enjoy driving more and more

Thanks Sir for valuable and positive comments. .
Wish you same (you also drive more and more)!

Another suggestion for alloys is Gun metal grey (I prefer gun metal grey of Baleno/Ciaz)

Cons of black - Indian Tarmac - the potholes and stone chips damage black easily , while with Gun metal Grey its not that much evident.

Even i like the alloy color of Baleno and Ciaz, thanks for the advice Sir, but where could i get "gun metal grey" shade of paint.

 

[VISHNUCARCRAZY]

You can try any Automotive paint shop bro.
The thing is nowadays Paint base is same , it just depends on brand - say dupont etc.
While stainer only differs.
Stainer is mixed with base , and stainer shade is chosen from computer

Try this "Line - white - Line - white - Line" combinations in PS :
(1) 6 inch (color) : 2 inch (white) : 2 inch (color) : 0.66 inch (white) : 1 inch (color) --- this is in 1 : 1/3 : 1/6 ratio.
(2) 6 inch (color) : 2 inch (white) : 2 inch (color) : 0.66 inch (white) : 1 inch (color) : 0.33 inch (white) : 1 inch (color) : 0.66 inch (white) : 2 inch (color) : 2 inch (white) : 6 inch (color))

• Lines should start at the top of bonnet and run all the way to the bottom of bumper.
• Try "1 : 1/3 : 1/6" ALONE from driver side
• Try "1/6 : 1/3 : 1" ALONE going towards passenger side
• Try combination of BOTH.

Also, in the same color, draw a pair of "Darkest to Lightest" lines on the Sill, from fender to fender. You can try "1/6 size for top line : 1/3 size for white space : 1 size for bottom line), depending on the width of Sill. Instead of "1 : 1/3 : 1/6 ratio", you can use any other ratio like "1 : 1/4 : 1/8 ratio". Just play around

Note: The view in your photo is NOT ideal to know how car will look after modifications; take Low Angle Photos directly from front (like this one here) and from side in day-light.

A good purchase. Congrats. Now, how do you plan the gediyan to sector 17 market (lovingly known as sector sataara). Do keep the thread updated and share with us all the plans for upgrades on the car. BTW, don't go overboard with any mods. Even the SC of India has ruled now that altering of the OEM specification mentioned in RC isn't allowed on vehicles.

Thanks sir for using your precious time in advicing me.
Sure i will try these combinations tomorrow when my car comes home.

Hehehe, will plan on gedi route when my car comes home. I assume you are also from near about to chandigarh mohali side as you know too much about gedi routes!! and according to the law of not changing official specs do they also mean one can't install tuning box or do ecu remaps????

Well bro, I ain't from the Chandigarh is the, presently stay in NCR is the but as a kid about 2 decades back had spent a lot of time in Chandigarh as my dad had a project with a firm there. Been to sector sataara in those days. Loved the atmosphere there. Coming to mods, I believe anything that alters the originally mentioned specs of the car is not allowed now.
