Caught this baleno with old Honda city tail lights... I think the Owner got tired with the original lights and want to try out something different.

Honda City tail lights on a Baleno with an Esteem badge.

This Baleno looks equally disgraceful as the original Baleno... I would prefer the original lights any day to this... Waste of time and money.

Uh... buddy have you seen some of the contraptions that stand outside Cathedral infant in the evening.They are enough to make you puke especially the white esteem-this car has decals from every possible tuner,has a snake on the hood,a scoop on the roof,and these sad looking mag wheels.
The owner is ofcourse looks like some 18-20 yr old fool who thinks he is from the hood or something.
It is my misfortune to see this car every single day when i am going home.
Lambo dude go see it.

You forgot to blank out the number plate reflection on your hood...

This must be some gulf country where the Baleno is probably sold as the Esteem...

v1p3r · 24th October 2005, 09:49

I'm guessing it's Dubai, since Catamaran lives there!

Ananth sorry about that....You always think ahead as is the case with your dolphin....

This is in Dubai...Although the baleno used to sell as the baleno itself here and not as an esteem...I Think this particular car might have been imported from US or like, wherein it's sold as 'esteem'

Seen this near my college. No comments.

Byram -
I haven't seen that esteem as yet. But did you notice the black lancer with the 15" mags was vandalised with yellow spray paint on the body and the alloys? I think he just got it removed.
Anyways, i have this pic of a modded Astra which was made to look like a City Type II.
Looked like the owner wanted the best of both worlds - the City's looks with Opels Solidity and comfort but the job was so horribly executed i doubt if he got anything except gaalis.
Oh and i saw this car near Mahim Church. A silver Palio with red spray painted bumpers and red spray painted S10 alloys. What i mean by spray painted is that if you look closely you can see the black bumpers underneath.
No pics though.

looks more like a cartoon car, he could have made it worse by putting a DC kit ..
A dc kit and that paint job will definately go well together !!
