Aftermarket car modification houses are capable of fulfilling all sorts of desires of car owners regardless of how unique and strange they might be.
This has to be the first gold wrapped Mahindra Scorpio N in the country. People often head to the aftermarket car customization shops to make their cars look distinct and stand out from the crowd. In a bid to achieve that, they end up doing incredibly idiotic acts. Remember, most car modifications are illegal in India. But a relatively simpler method of transforming the entire appearance and road presence of a car is by wrapping it in a unique colour scheme. This is a prime example of that.

Gold Wrapped Mahindra Scorpio N
This post comes from tfl_customs on Instagram. The SUV has been thoroughly decorated with this blingy wrap. The golden colour accentuates the road presence of the already large SUV. Note that the golden wrap is not just limited to the body. It even extends to the grille, the bumper and the spokes of alloy wheels. Even the ORVMs and roof rails have not been spared. Finally, the wheel arches, roof-mounted spoiler, tailgate and rear bumper have all been covered in this thick sheet of gold colour. I must admit, this will certainly boast a road presence unlike any other car out there.
Specs
Mahindra Scorpio N comes with a tried-and-tested 2.2-litre mHawk turbo diesel engine or a 2.0-litre mStallion turbo petrol mill which churns out 132 PS / 300 Nm to 175 PS / 400 Nm with diesel and 200 PS / 380 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. There is either a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission with these engines. To take care of hardcore off-roading excursions, the Scorpio N gets the sophisticated 4XPLOR 4×4 drivetrain to tackle treacherous terrains. The prices range from Rs 13.60 lakh to Rs 24.54 lakh, ex-showroom.

Now, wrapping your car in a completely different colour than the stock is a tricky business in India. Most car modifications are illegal in our country. Even a wrap, in a way, totally changes the appearance of any car. Therefore, changing the colour of a car would ideally require the owner to get this new colour registered in the registration certificate of the car. That is only possible if your local RTO has this provision. Therefore, I would recommend you consult your local RTO before going for such customizations. That will save you a lot of trouble with the traffic cops later on.
