Nissan Magnet was launched in the Indian market in 2020 and changed the fortunes of Nissan as a brand in India. It is a game changer product that helped Nissan get back into the game in India. The main attraction of Magnite was that it was sold as an SUV and had quite a competitive price. The initial prices of Magnite were very attractive and the top-end variant was priced below Rs 10 lakh, ex-showroom. Several videos of Nissan Magnet’s aftermarket accessories and changes are now available on the market. We’ve featured some of them on our website and here we have another video where a base model has been modified to look like a top-end version.
The video was uploaded by MR Cars to their YouTube channel. The video begins by talking about accessories installed outside of Vlogger. He showed an aftermarket ABS plastic bumper guard that gives the front of the car an aggressive look. There is also chrome garnish installed on the bumper. Since it is a lower variant it does not get LD DRLs on the bumper. The halogen lights in the headlamps have been replaced with LED units and an aftermarket dual-function LED DRL has also been installed. A set of chrome garnish is installed on the headlamps to get a premium look.
