Hello everyone anticipation you each are doing great!,after speechmaking the rubric you mightiness beryllium reasoning who is this lad and those who cognize that it was a PR strategy by MSIL for their 2nd gen WagonR launched successful 2010 they mightiness beryllium reasoning erstwhile did a bread-box shaped, elemental tiny hatchback tin go somebody's beloved but you cognize what, it simply does, truthful overmuch truthful that I'm consenting to clasp it for arsenic agelong arsenic possible.

Buying the blue-eyed boy
Its a communicative dating backmost to extremity of 2011, my dada was utilizing a 2001 MS800 EX MPFi model(a beauteous uncommon and show oriented instrumentality for its time), with newer, modern cars connected the thoroughfare we felt the request to upgrade our thrust too.

Surprisingly it wasn't MSIL but Hyundai which initially was our penchant acknowledgment successful nary tiny measurement owed to the information that we were besides owning a 2000 Hyundai Santro and I had precocious bought a 2009 i20 Asta some of which were terrific, the exemplary which suited my dada was the i10 Sportz 1.2Kappa, and adjacent though I liked the TD my dada wasn't precise convinced, possibly owed to his agelong acquisition with MSIL.

Additionally I besides convinced my dada for Volkswagen Polo 1.2MPi Comfortline exemplary which was conscionable a small retired of his fund but was a terrific car with specified an accent to physique prime and information but sadly my ma wasn't precise convinced astir the cozy rear spot acquisition and my dada was besides wary of the precocious work costs, frankincense with an dense bosom I had to transverse retired the Polo arsenic well.

Apart from that we tried cars similar Ford Figo, Chevrolet Beat, Maruti's ain Swift Dzire, Ritz etc but each were crossed retired for immoderate crushed oregon the different and my parents settled for the WagonR only, I personally retrieve getting the booking done and opted for the Baker's cocoa shadiness arsenic I felt it was kinda unsocial but got a hellhole batch of scolding astatine location arsenic some of them didn't similar brownish owed to which aboriginal the colour was changed to Breeze Blue, besides I truly tried to person my dada to upgrade to Vxi(O) with dual airbags and ABS but dada didn't wage up other 35,000Rs oregon truthful other citing helium would ne'er thrust beyond metropolis limits and since it wasn't my idiosyncratic car I couldn't reason much.

Still, I intelligibly told them that I'll beryllium fitting accessories of my prime and adjacent if it meant paying other I would beryllium doing that from my wallet to which they thankfully obliged. MSIL was benignant capable to propulsion successful 20,000INR worthy of escaped accessories which was a batch backmost then. The archetypal accessory I liked were the alloys but those costed 5,000 apiece meaning full freebie magnitude would spell successful that alone, to which I decided to bargain the alloys separately from my ain wallet, isolated from that picked the modular acceptable of spot covers, mats, carpets, assemblage cover, doorway visor, idol, parking sensors etc

We took the transportation connected the eve of Dhanteras of 2012 connected precise unsocial day of 10/11/12.

Initially erstwhile we bought the car location I personally admit I wasn't excessively blessed with WagonR and planned to get escaped of it aft 5years and acquisition my dada a bully caller car similar Vento but arsenic clip progressed I started appreciating the WagonR for what it is, a no-nonsense, practical, inexpensive to maintain, fuss escaped hatchback.

Even though the car is not astatine each comfy astatine road speeds, has poorly controlled NVH and kinda mediocre A/C cooling adjacent contiguous I bash not find immoderate crushed to upgrade this car, I'll explicate you why.

First of all, my dada has stopped driving altogether arsenic seeing today's postulation helium becomes a interaction excessively paranoid(naturally so) raising his BP which could beryllium rather unsafe considering helium is simply a elder national isolated from that helium conscionable wants to unbend and instrumentality beingness dilatory aft completing his astir 40long years of hardwork arsenic a metallurgical technologist from IIT Kanpur and conscionable goes retired for his timely wellness checkups, truthful the usage has travel down drastically for the WagonR constricted to municipality running, truthful it makes overmuch much consciousness to clasp and usage it than selling it retired conscionable due to the fact that its 12years old, additionally my dada being an technologist has a bully wont of maintaining his car to the T and thankfully I've inherited this from him truthful the WagonR is successful cleanable condition, its ever serviced from the aforesaid ASC its been visiting for the past 12 years, additionally I've had gone 1 measurement up present by sourcing MGP Shell Helix 5W30 lipid arsenic ASC utilized to banal lone EcStar(basically Servo) 0W20/16 BS6 lipid only. I've had posted astir the work acquisition precocious successful Team BHP, would beryllium cross-posting it present too, https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techn...ml#post5500172 (Approved Engine Oils by Maruti Suzuki)

Additionally, arsenic of present wherever my WagonR is registered there's nary specified 15year prohibition connected petrol vehicles(hopefully it stays that way), erstwhile the existent RC expires(which is inactive successful distant aboriginal astir precocious 2027),I would beryllium carrying retired the FC renewal and re-passing done excessively similar I've did for my i20.

Apart from each of this, WagonR is not conscionable a car for us, it has an sentimental worth to it, and I conjecture its earthy considering however agelong this car is been with us, truthful erstwhile we are intelligibly retaining it I've decided to spruce it up conscionable a small spot to support it up to the times(at slightest those imaginable easily).

Have done the pursuing mods and program to bash immoderate for which I whitethorn necessitate immoderate assistance from you BHPians, truthful consciousness escaped to constitute suggestions and further jobs.

1. Power Horns- My WagonR came with elemental azygous code disc benignant horns which hardly caught anybody's attraction particularly of those errant squid riders and indisciplined 3wheelers, truthful decided to upgrade to dual code upwind tones, chose the Hella chrome bid which sounds precisely similar Creta's Bosch horns, the pitch, amplitude each are spot on, I truly emotion this truly saccharine sounding benignant horns.
2. Powerful lights- This 1 IMHO was overmuch much required successful my car and particularly connected transportation acheronian roads during nighttime the propulsion was grossly inadequate from banal bulbs, the precocious beams were pathetic, positive if there's immoderate oncoming postulation you're wholly blinded by its glare and my mediocre precocious beams conscionable cannot combat against those psycho drivers, for a agelong clip I searched for immoderate bully lights ranging from Philips Racing Vision to Osram NightBreakers but heard mixed reviews astir them, aft a agelong probe came crossed a brace of bully LEDs which don't scatter retired and supply a bully beam with capable dipper and truly almighty uppers without utilizing further powerfulness arsenic compared to banal bulbs, additionally it should beryllium a plug&play benignant and a nonstop acceptable successful my car. I went up and bought these lone erstwhile a chap BHPian praised highly astir the same, the lights successful question are the Autobahn F5 GPX3, you tin look for them successful google and bid from their website, besides they've large WhatsApp/E-mail enactment with 7day instrumentality argumentation and 2years warranty period, delight bash enactment I person nary immoderate associations with them and a elemental user of their product. Will beryllium attaching pictures of the airy show for your reference.

Additionally person planned the pursuing mods too:

• Auto Dimming IRVM- When you question during nighttime you person travel crossed the concern wherever an unnecessarily speeding car comes honking and incessantly flashing almighty LED Beams towards you causing you oculus symptom and driving distraction which tin beryllium dangerous, sadly the happening is my WagonR doesn't adjacent travel with manual dimming IRVM and nary mode I tin dim it, but I truly privation to someway acceptable Baleno's/Brezza's Auto dImming IRVM to heighten my nighttime thrust comfort, I've seen radical fitting electrochromic reflector particularly Honda City's IRVM into different cars. So I inquire chap BHPians person anybody done this benignant of mod if they hap to ain WagonR of my vintage and tin you delight shed airy however I tin bash it. Suggestions and proposal truly appreciated.
• Colour TouchScreen Stereo system- Sometimes adjacent erstwhile you're travelling successful known places you bash necessitate Google Maps and during those times I've to trust connected my cellphone which tin beryllium unsafe and evidently distracting, additionally my WagonR doesn't adjacent person a USB input(it required a precise unsocial Adaptor which was Made In Japan and was ne'er disposable with my dealer), truthful I person decided to upgrade the stereo to a colour touchscreen system, I'm against those Android screens adjacent though they connection galore features due to the fact that they don't acceptable flush and someway don't suit my sensation I privation much of an MGA Approved benignant of flush fitting strategy which is wherefore I've finalised connected the Sony XAV AX3200(long sanction yes, but Sony fans similar maine are utilized to it viz WH1000XM3, WF1000XM5 etc) attaching the nexus of MGA website itself https://www.marutisuzuki.com/genuine...90j0m83kd9-670

Lastly, arsenic promised attaching the headlight show of the caller lights.
