Finally after months of scrounging/sourcing my car is finally done... at least for now 
New Mods include:-
1. Much needed shadow-line trim
2. Painted calipers with carbon fiber finish stickers
3. RPI Scoop painted Yellow
4. RPI Exhaust with brushed aluminum finish tips from the inside and gunmetal from the outside
My car is noticeably much faster and I love the exhaust notes... its like a symphony. One disadvantage though, for some reason the humming of the exhaust drives the street dogs CRAZY (yes we have a million of them roaming the streets of Mumbai) and they pretty much chase my car screaming and seem to want to pick a fight with my car...Fools
they should know better than that.
Many thanks to Roger for hooking me up with the exhaust hangers, Nerwyll for excellent service, shipping and products and finally for my Indian dealer, Navnit Motors for getting it all together.

PERFECT. Wouldn't add a thing to it. Congrats on your completion 
But sorry to disappoint you, for some reason, you ll always find something to add to it. Try to avoid the temptation. JUST SAY NO.

I really like the yellow brakes and scoop, looks really good on grey cars, especially with those powdercoated wheels!
