Q.Modified Swift's From Across the Country

Here's a couple of modified Swift's I saw on Facebook. They look tastefully done, don't you think? Credit to the photographer for capturing the flare beautifully. This Swift has a custom body kit with aftermarket bumpers, lip spoiler, side skirts. It's even got a spoiler at the back. I've always felt spoilers don't suit a hatchback. What do you think?

I think this is the Swift Sport sold abroad though. [USER="42"]CorsaVeloce[/USER] what do you think?

This one's got a custom headlamp with projector units, aftermarket rims and a roof spoiler. It's even got a dual-tone roof.

Custom headlamps, bumpers, blacked-out ORVMs and deep dish wheels. [IMG]https://scontent-sit4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/12321599_570851629750184_1295757662314587699_n.jpg?oh=e49100beb3cf1c36cb5c05df4f74e28c&oe=57D45C75[/IMG] Not a big fan of these headlamps though. The mesh grille also looks tacky.

Twin exhaust looks mean. Spoiler seems like an afterthought.

But a good photo [IMG]https://scontent-sit4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1482880_580990995402914_2625914599650601140_n.jpg?oh=f93ff2889aa8c0b39cee6c7c2af21309&oe=57CB128A[/IMG] Orane mean machine with a Naca duct on the hood and blacked-out headlamps. This Swift looks like it's been slammed too. Notice WRC-like ORVMs too.

[SIZE=14px]When Maruti Suzuki launched the Swift way back in 2005, it created a storm in the Indian automotive scene. Scores of boy racers took a liking to the sporty hatchback for its cheeky looks and the very mod-friendly 1.3-litre engine (till 2010). The fact that the Swift looked a lot like the Mini Cooper also helped. The launch of the Swift also took the car customising scene to an all-new level with modifiers importing parts from abroad initially.
