Swift R vs Swift R

Early November 2011, I have witnessed the development of swift modification on my brother's Suzuki Swift. He has updated his swift with a complete set of Swift R body kit. The Swift R body kit is one of the most anticipated body kit for Suzuki Swift owners. This is because the Swift R has an aggressive look contributed by its wide looking front fenders and unique spoiler.


The Swift R body kit has a wide front measurements compared with the other Suzuki Swift body kits like the Sport, Monster, Hikari, Scrit. This was evidence when the car body specialists and paint experts recommended to enlarge a few inches of the front fenders. The front bumpers when installed was not easily fit into the Suzuki Swift at first and had to remove some of the essential steel protection bar and also the inside clips on each side of the front to fit the bumpers.

My brother's Suzuki Swift was at the workshop for more than a month for installing the body kit, widening the fenders and painting. After a month later, the Suzuki Swift R has finally reached home and my brother realized that he needs to send his Suzuki Swift R for another week to cut the side front bumper as the tips were touching the tires when driven on bumpy roads. This time my brother decided for a new project to repaint the roof in black and the outer A pillar in red. The result is an amazing look as if the Suzuki Swift R has a sunroof and a touch of luxury is present.

The rims of the Suzuki Swift R is also repainted to have red strips that add sporty looks.

As for my case, I have bought the Suzuki Swift R body kit in October and planned to install the front bodykit in December. Unfortunately, my Suzuki Swift was badly hit while I was driving near the Teko roundabout at KB. I had made a terrible mistake of driving on the right lane but planned to go to the left. Without looking on the left, I just drive as I looked that cars were still far away on the right side of the roundabout.


One of my Angle Eyes projectors smashed but ironically still functional. The left fenders as well as the bumper had been severely smashed but the airbags did not ejected as the hit was not that serious but as the Suzuki Swift steel body is not too hard and strong, the side fender on the left was badly alternated.

The next morning, I decided to find a workshop that was able to fix my Suzuki Swift in two days time. Most of the workshops I went at KB unable to fix it in two days. They said the damages were serious. Only one workshop offered a reasonable price and quality. The workshop's name is L.V.C workshop at KB. I have seen many cars being modified with good qualities at the workshop. The services given there were also better than other workshops I went before.

The time has come for me to install the Swift R body kit. Unlike my brother Suzuki Swift R, I wanted the side intakes, lips as well as the front meshes in black. My bother Suzuki Swift R front meshes painted in black but its side intakes and lips are painted in unique silver varnished.



And unlike my brother Suzuki Swift R, my Suzuki Swift R has no wide body work. May be in the future. We will see later. Insya Allah.

Valenti Japan Suzuki Swift LED tail lights

Suzuki Swift has many types of tail lights which we can shop online or from local dealers. Unlike many other small hatchback, swift owners will find it easy to customize their ride into something unique, attention grabber and nice looking. Here is another type of tail light that i found from the net that can be purchased from eBay for about BND 462.

I like those additional break lights on the rear bumper

Not really noticeable but those LED sure make the tail light shaped like fish scales

nice but i really like if they make the shell of the tail light chrome because the scales are not really noticeable

Look at that LEDs except the reverse light

Nice but not really noticeable

At night the Valenti styled tail light rocks

So it looks like this during day light

2011 Suzuki Swift Concept S

Really like the side window: Very sleek and not too large

The all new 2011 swift is much wider thus contributing that wide headlamps

The 2011 swift sport is based from this concept S exterior design

When entering inside the swift, drivers will be cushioned comfortably on the leather like sport bucket seats

Look at that nice steering wheels with yellow stitching and sport bucket seats

And the best part of this 2011 Australian International Motor show event was when the swift was accompanied with two lovely models...lol

I wonder how will this new sport model looks like on the road

Different tastes: Exterior Design of the Suzuki Swift Sport 2011

The All new Suzuki Swift Sport will sure be a hit in Brunei. There are slight improvements in terms of its engine performance compared to the 2009 Suzuki Swift Sport:

The Maximum output for the 2011 Suzuki Swift Sport will be 100kW/6,900rpm  compared to the 92kW/6,800rpm 2009 Suzuki Swift Sport.

The Maximum torque of the 2011 Suzuki Swift Sport is 160Nm/4,400rpm compared to 148Nm/4,800rpm delivered from the 2009 Suzuki Swift Sport


In terms of Fuel Economy:
The 2011 Suzuki Swift Sport consumes less gaining 44.1mpg  while the 2009 Suzuki Swift Sport consumes more gaining 39.8mpg


In terms of design: The front fascia of the all new Suzuki Swift is more aggressive, sporty and agile. The front bumper kit looks stylish especially contributed by the different color tones of the cover side intakes which also places the fog lights/ sport lights. The headlights are very wide stretching forwards from the high side end of the hood. The swift sport headlights look much better than the 1.4 version contributed by the blackout or smoke color inside (I don't know what do you call it, but you guys know what I mean when looking at the pictures below... lol)

Really like the front looks especially those silver color side covers: Those are like fangs.. lol..


I talked about the good side, what about the one that I don't really like... I mean the exterior part of the all new swift?

well, the swift looks fun to drive. It looks playful but I'm not really a fan of the rear looks of the all new swift. There is something that need to change. May be the license plate placement is too high just a few centimeters below the bonnet/trunk  lid. But these can be changed with a new custom made bumpers. But surely there will be a lot of swift bumpers of these new models on sale in the future.

The rear looks of the all new Suzuki Swift sports 2011 model: Looks fine for me except the license plate placement.
