Heavily modified Maruti 800 with scissor doors is small car gone WILD!

The Maruti 800 is one car that India will probably never forget. Despite being discontinued since quite some time, the tiny little hatchback is still a common sight on the roads. Though it was not a popular car in the mod circuits initially, later on, there were several good examples of modified Maruti 800’s on the road. The one below is one of them and has received a complete makeover on the exteriors and the interiors as well. The most striking feature of this modified Maruti Suzuki 800 is that it has been fitted with scissor doors. Take a look at the video below by BANKS CUSTOM before we move on to the rest of the details of the car.

The scissor doors easily make the car stand out in the crowd. They are mostly used in sportscars and supercars along with modified cars like these. The reason behind them not being used usually on cars is that they hamper practicality as opening them in low garages and car parks becomes an issue. Moving on from the doors to the body paint, the custom paint job on this car has been done in matte black and looks quite good to say the least. It also contrasts with the interiors which sport a bright orange shade.

The front end gets a new metal bumper painted in silver along with aftermarket headlamps with built in DRLs. The rear end also sports a similar custom bumper along with aftermarket tail lamps. The car has been lifted by 3 inches and runs on 13-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels that look quite good. The front grille along with most other exterior body elements have been kept stock in order to keep the DNA of the 800 intact. The interiors have been fitted with a whole lot of features and equipment too.

An engine start-stop button is now responsible for ignition instead of the old-school key mechanism. Almost all of the interior panels are now in a shade of bright orange while the upholstery and some other panels sport a little black too. The custom front seats are 8 way adjustable. The steering wheel is an aftermarket sporty unit while the gearknob has been replaced with a skull-shaped unit. Full-scale matting has been done on the car and the interiors also sport ambient lighting now. The colour of the ambient lighting can be easily changed via a remote along with their patter.

The in-car entertainment system is a pretty robust unit with a huge bass tube, amplifier and aftermarket speakers installed on the car. Other notable additions made on the car include a pop-up sunroof along with a 7-inch touch infotainment system. The total cost of this mod job is pegged at around Rs. 2.5 lakh, which is nearly the same as what this car would have originally be priced at. The mod job though is quite good and this Maruti Suzuki 800 deserves the attention it gets on roads.
