We have often brought you modified cars and SUVs that look dope with the aftermarket effect. Today, we have something special and it is a famous budget SUV that is in the Indian markets for 20 years now and has been tastefully done. This Mahindra Bolero has been extensively modified into a 5-door Thar or Jeep Wrangler hybrid and we want your opinions and share with us if it is a yay or a nay job.
This all-black paint scheme really brings out a character from this modified Mahindra Bolero and really stands out. At the front, we see the extended bull bar with LED bar, angry bird grille design, aftermarket headlights and indicators. There is an off-road bumper too but we don't know if it is made from metal or fibre. Also, notice the tow hook and the integrated foglights.
Furthermore, you get a set of auxiliary lights on the side, front and a LED light bar above the windshield. This modified Bolero is everything you need if ever you get stuck on patched roads where you do not have any illumination.

Moving towards the side profile then you have reworked fender design and the bigger off-roading rims. We are not sure if they are MT or AT tyres. You also get a snorkel but then again, not sure if this is a working unit or just an accessory. The big ORVMs for a wider rear view, aftermarket door handles and the side step really looks interesting.
This modified Mahindra Bolero now gets a slanting edge at the rear and looks distinctive. To further bring in a character, the spare wheel is mounted at a tilt angle and the aerodynamics are now out of the question if you ask us. Pun intended. Like the front, the rear too gets an aftermarket bumper and the exhaust tip is now placed at the middle. The LED taillights surely go with the SUV.
