I will inquire about fog lamps on my next visit to the dealership. If they are available, I will PM you.

Alloys are looking great. Are those Lenso Samurai?
I plan to keep my stock alloys for atleast an year. Meanwhile, I will keep hunting for wheels. I am looking for black wheels with chrome lip.

But, even with the silver, I would like to go in for black headlamps.

Contrary to what you have done, i painted my Linea (vocal white) grilles and fog lamp covers to Hiphop black !

Silver grills and fog lamp enclosures don't go really well with the white.
It looks better in black on a white car. Your vocal white lines looks better with black girlls.

On a red car, silver gave a more contrast effect and looked better than black.
But, then again, its more of a personal choice.

Thanks a lot.
Try some local tyre/alloy shop. Some people exchange their brand new rims with aftermarket ones, and they often sell the OE ones at throwaway prices.
I bought mine for 9k. I am sure the owner of the shop, wouldn't have bought it for anything more than 7k.

Nicee shots of the Punto there !!...the shade (or absence of sun) brings out the pleasant shade of Red.

Lovely photos there. Did you face any problems with the ground clearance?

The roads that you took look like off roading

That was just a rough patch that I took and did not face any ground clearance issues.

But, swift has a better ground clearance. I have scrapped the under belly of punto, once so far.

Hey Sumit,
One suggestion, get the A & B pillar blacken-ed from any accessory shop, will cost 300 bucks max. It just adds to the overall appeal of the car.

How much did the front grill colour change (black to silver) cost you ? did you get it done at the dealership ?

[extreme_torque]

Everytime I think about Figo from my head, the heart takes over and yearns for a Punto. Soul stirring stuff and a spiritual successor to my Palio 1.2.... need more moolah though and I think I will wait.

I will get them blackened.
I had it planned initially, then i thought, it looks better without them.
Should I get them blackened all the way or do it like its in Emotion model?

Figo is an overall VFM package.
You thinking of buying diesel or petrol?
Your userid suggests diesel.

ABSOLUTELY ! Nothing like 'Emotion' for the price of 'Active' ..I say !
