Ever since the launch of the latest 5-door Maruti Jimny, owners are taking it to the aftermarket to convert it into a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. By default, Jimny owners relate their SUVs with the iconic G-Wagon around the world. In spite of their significantly disparate prices, there are some similar-lloking elements between the two. Firstly, the Jimmy stands out as a budget-friendly, rugged, and lightweight off-road SUV. With a history spanning over five decades in the global market, it has now entered the Indian market in its fourth generation, featuring a novel 5-door design—a first for this model. On the flip side, the G-Wagon is among the best luxury off-road vehicles worldwide. Here are the particulars of the Jimny with heavy modifications.

What We Think
We acknowledge and value the enthusiasm of individuals seeking to personalize their vehicles in order to achieve a unique appearance. However, it is important to note that a majority of car modifications are not in accordance with the laws in India. As a result, engaging in such alterations may potentially result in encounters with law enforcement authorities. Given this circumstance, we strongly discourage our readers from embarking on extensive and comprehensive vehicle modifications. If you are still inclined to pursue specific customizations, it is of paramount importance to initiate a consultation with your local Regional Transport Office (RTO). If your modifications are legal, you could edit them in the registration certificate of your vehicle. This proactive step will help you avoid any prospective issues with authorities down the line.
