The video details a fascinating journey of transforming a vehicle with a unique after-market facelift kit. It starts with an introduction, explaining the significance of updating or refreshing a car’s appearance through a facelift kit, a common practice among car manufacturers. The aim is to keep the vehicles relevant and appealing in the market, catering to a larger audience. The focus of the video is on a special project, where a car from Lucknow is brought in for a facelift installation.

The car in question is owned by a client with a political background who has made significant alterations to the vehicle for security reasons. The client’s needs led to the installation of bulletproof glass across various sections of the car, including the rear windshield, quarter windows, and doors. The vehicle’s interior also underwent modifications, with a partition fitted at the rear to separate the driver’s area from the rest of the car, along with bulletproof glass on the partition as well. Furthermore, the external panels, such as doors and fenders, were reinforced with extra metal to make the vehicle damage-resistant. These changes significantly increased the vehicle’s weight, creating a challenge for the team working on the project.

The core of the project revolves around installing a “Haley Style Bumper Facelift Kit.” This kit is inspired by traditional design ideologies that feature a single large front grille, which gives the car a much more muscular and robust appearance. Typically, aftermarket kits like this are available in fiberglass, which is cheaper but has the downside of being fragile and prone to breakage upon impact. The kit being used for this project, however, is made from ABS plastic, a stronger and more durable material that is commonly used by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) for making bumpers. This material ensures better strength, durability, and easier repairability compared to fiberglass. The kit consists of a new rear bumper, front bumper, front grille, DRLs (daytime running lights), indicators, diffusers, and fog lamp covers. The fog lamps are reused from the original setup, and this complete kit is available at the store for a price of over ₹00 plus taxes.

Before beginning any work on the vehicle, the team follows a standard procedure where OEM parts are first removed, and the new kit is installed and aligned properly to check for any bodyline distortions. Once this is done, the car proceeds to the next stages of modification. The team also deals with tinting processes, which are crucial in ensuring that the aesthetic and functional elements of the car match the new design.

However, one of the significant challenges arises during the removal of the vehicle’s bulletproof front windshield. While conducting an inspection of the car, the team finds that the windshield is cracked. After consulting with the client, they decide to replace it, but sourcing a bulletproof windshield proves to be much more challenging than anticipated. Despite efforts to find a suitable vendor, the team struggles to get the required windshield, highlighting the difficulties in working with special materials like bulletproof glass. Eventually, the team resorts to using an original windshield after removing the damaged one, a task that turns out to be quite difficult.

One of the most challenging aspects of this project comes when the team deals with the car’s doors. The extra weight from the added metal reinforcement has made the doors much heavier than usual. The team struggles to handle these heavy doors, with even multiple team members finding it difficult to lift and manage them. This extra weight causes complications in painting, as the heavy doors start deforming during the process. This leads the team to a tough decision: rather than painting the panels separately, they need to mount the doors back onto the car and paint them while still attached, which is an unusual and tricky approach. The weight and size of the doors, which are nearly 10 times heavier than standard panels, make it a labor-intensive and difficult task.

Despite these challenges, the team continues to work with determination to ensure that the final result meets the client’s expectations. They face a lot of issues along the way, including having to rework panels, fix deformities caused by weight, and manage other complications arising from the heavy doors. In the end, the team successfully overcomes these obstacles, ensuring that the car is not only aesthetically modified but also functionally restored to its full capacity.

Once all the modifications are complete, including the installation of the facelift kit and the repainting of the panels, the team is relieved. The final results exceed their expectations. The kit’s fitment and finish are flawless, and the car looks brand new. The client is pleased with the outcome, and the project is concluded successfully, even though it presented numerous unexpected challenges.

The video concludes with a personal note from the team, sharing how much they enjoyed working on this unique project. The challenges faced, although difficult, were ultimately rewarding. The team’s dedication to delivering the best possible finish reflects their commitment to providing high-quality service. For anyone interested in similar modifications or upgrades, the team encourages viewers to reach out using the contact details provided in the video description.

Overall, this project serves as an excellent example of the complexities involved in car modification. From dealing with heavy doors and custom parts to handling specialized materials like bulletproof glass, the team’s ability to adapt and overcome obstacles is impressive. The video also highlights the importance of using high-quality materials like ABS plastic for bumpers instead of cheaper, less durable alternatives like fiberglass. In the end, the project not only transforms the car’s exterior but also provides valuable lessons for both the team and viewers interested in vehicle customization.

The final scenes of the video show the completed car, with the team expressing their satisfaction with the results. They also wish their viewers a happy Diwali, adding a personal touch to the professional work shown throughout the video. The success of this project demonstrates the team’s skill and resilience, turning a challenging car modification into a visually stunning and functional piece of work.
