Interior & Exterior Styling Modification 
STYLING
Styling is the most pleasing aspect of car modification - spend a few thousand Rs. on your car and it will instantly stand out from the crowd. Styling can be very diverse and varies according to taste, from large aggressive spoilers and flashy body graphics to subtle changes in bodylines.
SPLITTERS
Splitters are aerodynamic spoilers, made from plastic or fibreglass, that bolt on the bottom car's front valance -
creating a more aggressive look. Influenced by the Europeans, these are becoming more
popular as they are easy to fit and give the car an instant image change.
SPOILERS 
Spoilers are the aerodynamic wings fitted to the boot or tailgate. Aggressive spoilers have been popular for a
while - and the range of styles available is vast. Usually most spoilers are sold as accessories and do not serve any aerodynamic purpose.
VALANCES
Valances are the front and rear bumper sections used on all modern cars. Extreme valance design is becoming
increasingly popular thanks to our American counterparts - who regularly release aggressive kits for the tamest of cars.
BONNET VENTS
Bonnet vents were originally designed to get cool air into, and hot air out of, the engine bay on turbo cars. Now
more of a styling statement, they come in a huge variety of designs. The days of plundering a Ford parts bin for a pair of RS vents are gone. Vents for styling are now custom designed for the sole purpose of looking good.
UNDER BODY LIGHTING 
Lighting, both interior and exterior, has been given a lot of attention in recent years with clear or tinted rear clusters and side-repeaters now commonplace. New styles to look out for include iridescent finishes on clear lenses and Lexus look-a-like rear lamps. Also you could go for Xenon white light units for the front headlight for a cool effect.
INTERIORS 
Interior styling needs no introduction. Boring beige interiors have long gone. The quality of work and impact has
increased massively in recent years. If you intend to do a full makeover, consider the whole
picture before you start buying. Start with key things such as steering wheel, gear-stick and hand brake, insuring their style follows a single direction. Try and perfectly match colours - get your dealer to get hold of the colour codes on anything leather, this will help when time comes for a re-trim. There are some really good interior workshops in places like Delhi, Mumbai & Bangalore. Usually shops which do the performance modification also undertake interior sprucing up.
