First Generation Honda City Modified In India (Sleeper Car)
This is the facelifted version of the first-gen Honda City which was introduced in 2000 with 1.5L i-VTEC petrol engine. As you can see from the image, this nothing looks like a stock version. And there are performance upgrades apart from the customisation.
This sedan has a BMC Intake system with Race Concepts Exhaust System. Also, the car has been lowered and now uses Vogtland Lowering Springs. It also gets NGK spark plugs and also gets custom fits side skirts and front lip. The owner has chosen a special Midnight Pearl paint job and this car sits on 17-inch Lenso rims with 204/45 spec.
This is another example of the modified first-gen Honda City and can be termed as a total JDM one. We say it because it gets a Pearl Green Pain job with 17-inch Inforged rims wrapped in 205/40, an aftermarket exhaust with performance upgrade and gets a custom body kit.
Third Generation Honda City
This beautifully modified Honda City looks straight out of Hollywood movies but is actually from down South. The 3rd gen City was launched in 2008 and it was the most selling unit out of all the four generation we've had. This also carried a sunroof which was a first in City!
Coming to this modified version, this one gets a Mugen RR Body Kit which includes new bumpers, LED DRLs (Daytime Running Lights), front grille and skirting all over the body. This surely looks a beefed-up version from the stock and the front headlights have been replaced by an aftermarket projector unit. The car has been lowered with suspensions from Vogtland.
Honda City With Scissor Doors
Well, this one is brought from Uttrakhand as you can identify from the number plate. It has been painted in a bright orange shade and the speciality is the scissor doors that open like a Lamborghini. Cheeky, eh? The upholstery, roof lining, floor carpet see orange shade and the wheels and roof have been given a black treatment. There aren't any performance upgrades and the power remains the same.
Fourth Generation Honda City
This white coloured Honda City has been spotted in Noida mostly and has been tastefully modified. The fourth-generation Honda City was the first to get a diesel engine which made 99 bhp on tap! Coming to this unit, the sedan receives a diesel tuning box from Race Dynamics for that extra power.

The car has been lowered too and now gets Tanabe Sustec NF210 lowering springs and gets Modulo body kit. Notice the black roof, rear LED taillights and chrome delete from the rear.
