Maruti Suzuki Omni is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable cars in the Indian market. Even though Maruti Suzuki does not sell the Omni in the Indian market anymore, many enthusiasts keep the car alive in their garages. Here are four Omni vans that have been transformed, modified and now look wild.
Omni for off-road (Gymni) 4X4
The transformation job is done by Indi Grage and Holyshift. It is also one of the first Omnis to receive such extreme modifications. It went viral soon after it came out in the public. The creators of this car have named it the Gymni.

It now sits much higher than before because of the off-road spec chunky tyres. It also gets a 4X4 system with a rear axle from the Gypsy. The Gymni is covered with an external roll cage along with a luggage rack on the roof. The front bumper is completely modified with LED projector headlamps, skid plate and auxiliary lamps. In fact, the rear doors and the windows are sealed using metal sheets to give it rough look.
Omni for Gangsters
The job done by Carbon Automotive shows the Maruti Suzuki Omni in a completely different form. The car gets blacked-out headlamps with projector units and the LED turn indicators are integrated into the bumper. The stock bumper of the Omni is replaced with new customised units.
The side profile sets itself apart with the aftermarket alloys and the exhaust pipes popping out. The sliding doors are pretty like the original design. The interiors are customized too. The Gangster Omni gets red upholstery, and the windows and doors are painted in black.
Omni low-rider
This funky looking modified Omni belongs to Nikhil Kumar from Kerela, India. This car is fondly called the Project Stance van. The front bumper droops into a lip spoiler which is extremely close to the ground. The headlamps on this Omni is inspired by the Mustang LED DRLs and so are the fog lamps.
Even the side profile gives a low rider appearance with the deep dish alloy wheels and the body skirting. However, what catches the attention is the transformation of the sliding doors to the gullwing doors. The rear bumper also gets aftermarket LED tail lamps. The interiors are all in a black theme and the exterior has been sprayed with custom colours.
Omni Buggy!
This fondly loved Buggy is owned and modified by Farid who hails from a family that has been in the car modification business for years. Information on Bharat Autos reveals that the modification and car cost him around Rs. 4.50 Lakhs from scratch. Apart from the mechanical structure of the Omni, nothing is the same.
Stripped away from any doors, you are free to step inside and take a seat in the open car. The dashboard, including the sporty racing steering wheel, is custom made. The instrument cluster is the same as the original Omni but is positioned at the centre.
