Hi, do you modify Alto 800
Hello Pravin, I just noted the best mods by DC2 aka DC Design. I don’t modify of my own.
I used to like it at one time. Now that I look at any of these designs, to be honest I’m truly and utterly disappointed. Neat, clean, minimalistic, simple yet sophisticated is completely missed by miles (or kilometers)!
No need to have all these cuts, puffy, beefed elements, to make it look muscular. Too many bits and pieces of stuck together and protruding out. If you take a ‘5 Second’ test, it looks fairly good. The more time u spend looking at it, the flaws are obvious, in terms of size, shapes, angles, elements. All these are just overkill.
Hi Rony, thanks for the feedback. Modified cars are not made for everyone.

Dear Shailesh,
I like all your responses and suggestions.
I own a Mahindra Verito – 2012 model. I have this thought in my mind since long time, may be after a couple of years, I would like to convert it to a mini-estate model without disturbing it’s length and width only altering the sedan (rear/boot) part of it. It might become something similar to TUV300 but with dimensions equal to Verito. I will also go for some interior enhancements.
Hope you might have got the design of my thoughts by now!
Please suggest me if my idea is worth proceeding and good modification consultant in Hyderabad (alternate to DC if possible, I like all DC models but it’s a bit expensive for me).
Thanks & Regards,
Siva
Hi Sivaram, thanks for your query.
Answering your query, converting Mahindra Verito to a mini-estate is not a good idea. No doubt, this will cost you good. I’m not sure how these car designers tackle structural changes. Resultant, you might face mechanical issues in future. Hope you got your answer, please let me know in case you need any assistance.
