I don't think it has been rolled out officially by the RTO in BLR just yet. There is a whole thread on fake HSRPs in the market in the modifications and accessories forum.

Getting it mostly from High Security Registration Anti Theft Smart Car Number Plates manufacturer India They have quoted me Rs.850/-. The factory is on airport road near HAL airport and it takes 10mins.

I know they havent been rolled out officially by the RTO but these look much better than the plastic ones.

Also, I got the new smart card RC this time. There is no more RC book.

Congrats Vid, Black is a refreshing change from all the white, high court altis' I see in chennai!

Enjoy the car and keep polishing

rjstyles69 · 20th August 2009, 13:26

viddy this was long due and congratulations. Finally a sigh of relief for a few of us

.I still remember those days while I used to work in e-city you would call me up narrating your experience driving the passat, laura et all.

Drive safe and all the very best.

Viddy,

Finally congratulations !!

Now yesterday what was the confusion between the 2 types of tints - tell me.

Jaggu · 20th August 2009, 14:43

Vid congratz the nth time, for all the so called purchases and deliveries you made in the last 2 years and thanks for keeping us entertained!

So when is the next purchase, it gets boring without that.

_raVan_ · 20th August 2009, 14:54

Congrats Vid on your purchase. The Altis is indeed a nice car. One question though, what made you choose Altis over Accord?

Ramsagar · 20th August 2009, 16:40

Congrats vidyut.You have struck the deal after 2 years.Looks awesome in black.
Now the lancer is urs,guess the time has come to MIVEC her.

brraj · 20th August 2009, 16:44

congrats vidyut, i guess altis engine is same as old corolla or is it different?
How is the suspension tuned? soft/bumpy.

Time for me to take test drive.

faithless_1984 · 20th August 2009, 16:51

Congrats , the car is a perfect package.
Great choice of colour.

rr_zen · 20th August 2009, 17:54

Congrats Vid ! The car looks stunning in black than any other colour that I have seen so far. Wishing you many more happy miles and exciting days with her.

gt_bhp · 20th August 2009, 18:08

Congrats on the new car Vid! Didn't know that the search was for 2 years. Bet if our meeting at the air show in Feb was for much longer then I'd have got to know about your car hunt

neotraveller · 20th August 2009, 18:19

wow.
The Altis actually looks killer in this BLACK color.
All this while i thought Altis had plain-jane looks w.r.t civic.

extreme_torque · 20th August 2009, 18:24

Really nice choice... as they you can never go wrong with a Toyota! New Corolla Altis is spacious, rides well, has a decent engine, decent interiors and long list of equipments. Congrats!
