Tired of your car looking the same as everyone else's? Get it customised
Do you have difficulty spotting your car in the parking space among loads such other models? Or are you bored of your car looking just the same as everyone else's? We have a simple solution for youu00a0-- just get it customised.
While car modification is nothing new for car enthusiasts, it is slowly gaining ground among the more common folk as well. Movies like The Fast and The Furious, Redline, Transformers, TV shows like Pimp My Ride have helped increase the craze.
"It's not only the young Delhi boys who demand customisation, but middle-aged businessmen also ask for it. They want better visibility and want to add class to their automobiles," says Dikshit Bhasin, Director, The Retro Rides, a car modification company based in west Delhi. The company imports LED lighting items from the US and China.
Feature high
The company offers add-on features like Wide body Kit with custom hood and flat boot, customized paint job with metallic black and funky red, deep dish alloys, custommade headlights with DRL's and Devil Eyes and after-market tail lights.
You could get custom interiors done with bucket seats, interior lightings and funky dashboard paints, or go for Lambo door conversion (to enable the door to open vertically), custom exhaust and air filter with underbody neon kit. The whole process takes around 30-40 days to be completed and can set you back by Rs 2-2.5 lakhs.

They include LED lighting products (specially imported for clients on order), push start gear knob and automatic sensor locks that can be fitted into any car.
