Be it to own a unique set of wheels or revitalize the appearance of an aging car, the after-market scene has something to offer for every kind of need. At the highest level, manufacturers try tapping into this demand through periodic special editions, accessories and body kits.
In recent times, dealerships with creative minds are seen customizing products quite comprehensively. Two such examples make up the the topic of the hour.
The i10 and i20 you see here have additional body kits for the purpose of individuality. They are not designed by Peter Schreyer or his colleagues, but by Hyundai dealerships in North India.
The custom Hyundai i10 receives new front and rear bumpers, side skirting and the rear spoiler. Other options are alloy wheels, door visors and sporty decals. The prices are mentioned below:
- Body-kit (Includes front & rear bumper, side skirting and spoiler) – Rs. 35,000
- Alloy wheels – Rs. 16,500
- Decals – Rs. 1,500
- Door visor – Rs. 1,200
For the custom Hyundai i20, changes are identical to that of the i10 but the design varies. The new front and rear bumper (with a diffuser effect), side skirting and spoiler are a part of the body-kit whereas the alloy wheels, door visor and sporty decals are other extras. The prices you ask?
- Body-kit - Rs. 35,000
- Alloy wheels – Rs. 18,000
- Decals – Rs. 1,500
- Door visor – Rs. 1,200
At dealer meetings, manufacturers may want to bring along their designers to share ideas as with each attempt sales teams are developing a good taste for customizing cars!
