This is the first old Mahindra Thar which has been converted into the new model in the aftermarket. Such new car shops are so impressive that they are able to modify just about any car to make it look like any other car. Thar is the best and most successful off-roader in the country for decades. Its latest version is in demand at an unprecedented level. The waiting periods even stretch close to one year for some trims in some cities. That is a testament to how much people love it. However, there are still a lot of old Thar owners in the country. Here is how they can convert it into the new Thar.

Cost
The car modifier confirms that it took him around a year to create this unique customization. The reason for that is quite simple and straightforward. In order to arrange the parts to design this, the owner had to collect these parts from the scrap market and insurance companies. In fact, they have created some body panels themselves. There is no ‘jugaad’ on this Thar. Everything is original or created in-house. In fact, it will still take around 1 month to finish. If you would like to do the exterior modification to your old Thar, you will need to spend around Rs 4.5 lakh. On top of that, if you also want the interior changed, the total cost would be around Rs 5 lakh.

What We Think
We recognize and appreciate the enthusiasm of individuals who wish to personalize their vehicles to achieve a distinct look. However, most car modifications are not legal in India. Consequently, such alterations might lead to interactions with law enforcement agencies. Resultantly, we strongly advise our readers against undertaking extensive and elaborate vehicle modifications. If you still desire specific customizations, it’s extremely important to begin by consulting your local Regional Transport Office (RTO). If your modifications adhere to the legal guidelines, you can have them officially documented in your vehicle’s registration certificate. This proactive approach will help you sidestep potential issues with authorities in the future.
