We live in a world that loves uniqueness. The desire to become unique is certainly evident among the car modifiers. Some of the modifiers go out of the way to do the job with little more passion than what’s needed for the job. Here are 10 atrocities from the modified world of automobiles.
Mitsubishi Cedia
For the love of convertibles, people go to any length by chopping the top off. But this modifier has done to make the car look similar to Mercedes-Benz convertible. The soft top roof is only for the rear two passengers and the cover looks unimpressive.
The owner has also installed individual screens for rear passengers. An onlooker will have to spend a good knowledge and time to figure out the original car, which is a Cedia. The car also gets bright red interiors and Mercedes-Benz logo on the steering wheel.
Maruti Gypsy
Talk about high visibility and this car sits right on top of any other vehicle. The legendary Maruti Gypsy has gone through a lot of hammers, metal cutters, paint but no imagination to become like this. The highlight is the paint of the car, which is beyond the acceptable visible spectrum of human eyes.
The car also loses its doors and gets bars instead. The interiors have received red seats which are Sparco rip off. The spare tyre gets dedicated space in the rear with a thick net to protect it from any attackers. Now that you have seen this Gypsy, you can’t unsee it ever.
Chevrolet Cruze
The diesel rocket from America looks muscular in its stock form. The Cruze with its muscular bulges on the body makes it a good looking car. The owner got inspired by another car manufacturer in America to make the Cruze look like something that it should not have.
The Cruze gets a Dodge inspired grille but done in a very cheap way. The car also gets projector headlamps and DRL LED stripe on the fog lamps. It does not end here, on the rear, the Cruze gets a huge wing for the unknown reasons. Well, whatever the reason is, the certainly was not to make the car look better.
Tata Indigo
We Indians love big SUVs because of their muscular looks. The only muscle car available in India is way too expensive for common buyers like us. It is a good idea to transform a normal looking budget car to a muscle car.
This Tata Indigo has gone bit far with the mods to look like a muscle car. There is a huge scoop on the bonnet and it is laden with chrome. The interior gets red inserts to match with the butch looks. This is something Tata Indigo designer should never see if he wants a peaceful sleep at night.
Honda City ZX
BMW cars are one good looking breed of cars. Many of the enthusiasts always dream to having one in the garage. Well, this Honda City ZX also aspired to become BMW and here is the result that does not look very good.
The car looks horrible with a body kit and yellow painted alloys mimic the BMW Z3. There is kidney grille up front and scoop on the bonnet with BMW logo sitting on it. The car also get a lion face in place of the logo in the rear and huge wing to attract more eyeballs.
Maruti 800
The legendary Maruti 800 has become the base of many modifications but this one takes the top spot on how-not-to-modify an 800. The car gets custom body parts and the roof has been chopped to make it an open-top.
The soft-top car gets white interiors. Also, there are white colored bumper guards in front and rear. The grille has been modified to place a circular sign which is similar to the round headlamps of the car.
Maruti Swift
We get the fact that Maruti Swift has become old. Many people want a new face and new look and they turn to modifications. The aggravation of getting new look Swift has completely turned this car into a disaster.
The plastic grille cover of the car is a bad idea to start with. The car gets dual tone red and white color, that further deteriorates the look of the vehicle. There is more! The modifier has added a rear wing in the middle of the hatchback serving no purpose. If you ever want to get your Swift modified, do check this first.
Maruti Omni
The Omni is not a good looking car. The boxy design of the vehicle was never the first thing people looked for when buying Omni. It was the spacious interiors and very practical usage of Omni that made it one of the most successful cars from Maruti.
This Omni though had different ideas. I wanted to became a four-seat pickup instead but the makeover surgery did not go very well. The Omni gets a part of the chopped in the rear and two jump seats placed there. It would have looked great only if we hadn’t seen the likes of Isuzu V-Cross or Tata Xenon.
Maruti 800
Well, if Maruti 800 lived to see this form, it would have been thought about all the wrong things that it had done in life. This project car is made up of plastic panels, a lot of them. The does not resemble anything else in this world, not even the cars that are found in a drawing book of a child from 1st standard.
The windows seem to be fixed positioned and the car has a wing at the end too. The car is made very creatively though but not creative enough to attract the compliments from the onlookers. This may be the first design of the designer and soon, we may see another DC or heck, the Pininfarina in India.
Honda City
Honda City is a good looking car and the same can be said about the previous generation of the vehicle. The only thing the car did not get is an open roof. No problem said this modifier who ripped the top of the City to transform it into a two-door open-top car.
It does not get even get a soft-top. So, umbrellas have to be out when it rains. There is a big scoop on the bonnet adding muscle to the whole car set-up. Even the exhaust tips are larger than the biceps of WWE showmen.
