Firstly, the vehicle is wrapped in a strange graffiti wrap. This is quite loud and certainly covers the original paint of the car. That is not allowed, as per the laws. Apart from that, this Swift has black windows. The Motor Vehicle Laws also don’t permit cars to have a black film on the windows. Thirdly, the vlogger has even modified the exhaust setup of the Swift to make the exhaust sound sporty. That creates unnecessary noise pollution. Due to all these reasons, the YouTuber is asked to remove these and pay a fine of Rs 10,000. He urges his viewers to not do this.

What We Think
As mentioned previously, almost all major car modifications are illegal in India. If the Police catch you with these customizations, you are sure to get a challan. That is why we don’t recommend tempering with the original settings of the vehicle. If you do wish to wrap your car in a new colour, you have to approach your local RTO. If they give a permission, you need to carry it along with you. In that way, you can get saved from the hefty fines. Apart from that, most other mods will land you in trouble. Let us pledge to be law-abiding drivers.
