Have to see about long term durability though as they are merely held by the primer and the double side tape only.

Ever since I had bought my Ignis sigma last year from True value, I had a list of accessories/wish list in my mind. The car came with foglamps, seatcovers, silver wheelcaps, and audio system + Remote key/unlock as accessories from the True Value side. It lacked the black wraps in B,C pillars, had no black wheel paint for stock steel wheels (they were in silver) as well as no roof rails.
Immediately after taking delivery I wrapped the pillars in black and got the wheel caps painted in black along with the steel wheels.
This was the easy part, any decent paint shop can do it. The hard part was sourcing a quality roof rail. Tried several from Amazon and MGT brand from boodmo and they were all small. Finally sourced one for Rs. 2600 from PreethAuto parts in Chennai from India mart of all the places. They fit well and look similar to the OE roof rail. We have to apply 3m paint primer and use the 3m double sidded tapes to fit them. Had them wrapped in black as well along with the Adidas strips in the rear quarter panel.
Have to see about long term durability though as they are merely held by the primer and the double side tape only. My paranoid mind is thinking about the rain seasons and the hot summers and if they will ruin the tapes. Only time will tell. Please ignore the mess you see in the grille, it’s a big story.
