GM has launched a new styling package for the Chevrolet Aveo in the UK. This pack is applicable only for the 3-door model, but as we have seen in the past, only a matter of time before the 5-door gets the same creaming.

The styling pack consists of front and rear spoilers, side skirts, floor mats, chrome exhaust tailpipe and skid plates and chrome-effect door handles and interior air vents. Metallic paint is also included.

After the introduction of new colors on the Yamaha R15, special editions of the Yamaha FZ16 and Fazer with radically different paint schemes have reached showroom floors in some parts of the country. The idea behind such special editions is to cash in on the festive season rush.

We’ll hopefully bring you clearer images shortly with all the details.
