The original grill looks fine to me, however if given an option i would choose the mini defender grill which also looks very good on Jimny. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Glad you liked the video. I love the original grille, but I am not a huge fan of all the chrome we get on the vehicles these days. Thus, I thought it was nice to paint this black and still keep some originality. ❤️ I could not find that Defender grille when I was shopping online and even offline. The ones I found were ridiculously priced.
Thanks, I should have been patient and done this earlier. I would have saved 6.5K on the aftermarket cheap grille, but I'm happy with the painted original now. 😊
It has been durable up until now. I believe it is important to sand it down a bit and then apply primer before the actual paint is applied to ensure it sticks for a longer time, but tape should work as well.
Two changes i want to make in my jimny are changing the stock grill and tyres. Haven’t been able to do any yet. Wasn’t getting good price on exchange of stock tyres so have settled for the stock tyres for now. Stock tyres have performed decently and given me an average around 13-14 kmpl. Prime reason i want to change the tyres is the looks. These stock tyres are very thin and make jimny look like a toy especially from the front. I am thinking of getting Yokohama Geolander 215/75r15 AT/LT. I personally don’t really like the stock grill tbh. I like the one u purchased barring the suzuki logo.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I think Geolander 215/75r15 AT if a great choice. I have set my eyes on them as well. Also, I posted a another video where I painted the stock grille, it turned out nice. I am not using the aftermarket one anymore. ruclips.net/video/EUr27J6i4DM/видео.htmlsi=817p6xfqaL48qzlO
Same here. I just went to my local denting/painting shop with the grille and asked them to rub the old paint work, apply primer, and give a nice matte black paint job.
I guess it's more about persistence 😅 and I just asked my local paint shop to use primer before ensuring the final look was matte black. Probably, ask a different pain shop to get the job done.
You have modified very well Jimny❤
Appreciate the love and support. Glad you like my Jimny and the minor modifications I've done. 🙌

Great idea, even i got tired thinking what to do with the stock jimny grill.

Hi there 👋

I am Planning to do so too
Awesome. I believe that's the best option. Let me know how this turns out.
Looking nice bro - good wokr
Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate your support. ❤️
How durable is paint. Is it better than covering it with tape..
It has been durable up until now. I believe it is important to sand it down a bit and then apply primer before the actual paint is applied to ensure it sticks for a longer time, but tape should work as well.

Thank you so much brother. I appreciate the love and support. The sub means a lot. BTW, I'm hooked to your new series (subbed you). 😊
Did the painter remove the grey paint and thr chrome of the grill before painting black ?
Yes, I specifically asked them to do this for a better coat.
Bro paint the aftermarket with body color . It woild look good
That's an awesome idea. I might get that done. I'll share an update once I do.
OEM lokz good
You mean the OEM with the chrome inserts or the OEM that has been de-chromed?
I was thinking of same since six months. But didn’t find how to dechrome it
Same here. I just went to my local denting/painting shop with the grille and asked them to rub the old paint work, apply primer, and give a nice matte black paint job.
@@weekendsafarnamahere in Odisha they suggest me not to paint on chrome

How to RUIN the front of a good looking car with cheap mods.. 😂😂
Each to their own, but I respect the feedback. What changes have you done to your Jimny?
@@weekendsafarnama just AT tyres 215
Cool, what brand?
@@weekendsafarnama Apterra AT2. Decent enough tyres.. Served well in the Zanskar valley up till Tso Moriri. The roads are much better now
Nice. Appreciate the additional details. I was thinking about the Geolander for mine. I haven't decided yet.
Great , please remove Suzuki Logo and get SUZUKI written in Body Color in Bigger Fonts .
Thanks, I plan to do that on the aftermarket grille I had purchased.
