Fog Lamps in Dlx

This is the left fog lamp. A very bad job.

This is the right hand side one.

This is the gash on the bumper.

Does loook a bit shaaby i must admit...
Can you post a picture from a little distance?

You mean the picture of the gash or all?

The gash + the periferry of the hole. It has been toucked up but thats whats scaring me from putting one. These Bumpers have to be cut and we'l never get that finish.. But i am sure all this wont be available from a distance...

No touchup as yet. But even from a short distance one can make out that the paint has peeled/chipped off.

what was the cost of the whole job?? (lamps + labour?)

Rs1400/- for fog lamps and approximately Rs1000/- for fog lamp bracket, wiring and labour.Everyting within Rs3000/-.

Okay, after all the running around and problems the bumper has been finally replaced. Courtesy Sireesh Auto. Now the fog lamps fit perfectly. Check pictures please.

You guys like it?

Yea...
Awesome...

Thanks mate.

I think i WILL wait till the dealers learn to do their job properly.

Sorry for my being hard if I sound so. But after market guys usually o a better job.

Screw the dealers happiness when u get the chance

All is well now, so I am not complaining. By the way the new bumper has smooth (satin) texture whereas the one from factory has 'matt' texture. Probably they don't have the same equipment that is in the factory for the paint job.

now it is looking cool...

I used my fog lamps last week.. had been to Chail (near Shimla) and got bit in by a light fog on bad roads.. the car performed beautifully.. Logan Rocks

Did you take any pictures?

Have you got a photo of the full bumper showing the Fogs
StU

Yes, I do. I have a picture of it in the gallery section. I'll post one tomorrow again.

Okay Stu, here it is!

It looks great, i will also get the same done , once the dealers are capable of doing a good job

with the Mahindra network you have to wait a long long time.. but Sireesh seems to have donce a decent job finally anyway

Hmmm!
I went to GMS Auto, Andheri, Mumbai today and they said that its not possible to install the fog lamps, atleast by them, in DLE/GLE/GL models. He says so cause according to them, these bumpers have no bracket for the fog lamps unlike the versions with the company fitted ones!
When i told him that i know people who have done so, he says that they may well fall off soon in bad roads which are a standard here in Mumbai ;-) because, he says, they are stuck to the bumper which will hold no good!
