Very attractive looking indeed

So what’s so unique about it? Well for starters, this particular Swift rides on a very stand out set of wheels. Now, these wheels have a “Smoothie” chrome classic wheel design, which is more common on hotrods, as well as classic cars. It’s got this single piece convex design that does not have gaps or holes in it. And of course, for that extra classy look, it’s chromed out.

Those wheels just complete the look

Apart from the wheels and tires, this Suzuki Swift was also given a two-tone paint-job with a cream white roof combined with a fantastic looking bluish body color.

Apart from the two-tone, it also has racing stripes, because again, it’s a homage to that classic Euro look. Down below just above the side skirts, it was also given a side racing stripe with the number “69” on it.

Racing stripes can definitely make any hatch look sportier

On the inside, the familiar shapes of the dashboard, steering wheel, and interior door panels are there, but it’s now enhanced by a cream white trim, and cream white leather seats.
