This post comes from bindusagar_ns200 on Instagram. The visuals capture a unique sight. A Hyundai Aura arrives in the frame without a roof. There are some body graphics to accentuate its appeal as well. It looks like the car modification house has gone into detail to completely remove the roof, paint the body panels and even install a rear spoiler. The driver is performing stunts on the road in this strange sedan. We must admit this has to be the first time we have witnessed a Hyundai Aura with this level of modification.

Why Avoid It
We have reported such cases with the Maruti Jimny in the past as well. Now, removing the roof of the car is not simple. It bears long-term permanent effects on the vehicle. For one, the roof is a major part of any car with a monocoque chassis. Essentially, removing the roof will negatively impact the strength of the vehicle. Cars are designed to transfer loads and stresses along the side pillars, roofs, etc. However, if you omit this aspect, you are jeopardizing the build quality of the car. Not to mention, the safety of the passengers is also compromised. Finally, such modifications are illegal in India. If the cops spot you, there is bound to be a challan. We advise our readers to stay away from such activities.
