A Kerela-based aftermarket part store has listed the Jeep-like grille for the upcoming 2020 Mahindra Thar days before the off-roader's official launch. Read here for more details.

Kerela is known for its rich car culture. The state administration has been very strict with modifications and has penalized a lot of car owners with heavy fines for the modifications they had performed on their rides. But that hasn’t stopped the masses living in Kerela from modifying their car. Recently, a Kerela-based aftermarket part store has listed the Jeep-like grille for the upcoming 2020 Mahindra Thar, which is slated to go on sale by October 2 this year. However, days before Thar’s official launch, folks at Auto Ignite Store have started selling the aftermarket radiator grille for the car.

Moreover, an Angry Bird grille with 5-slats is also available. The store has not yet revealed the prices of these grilles. However, similar grilles for the last-gen Thar are priced at Rs. 4,900. Therefore, it can be presumed that these grilles will make for an affordable yet notable modification on the new-gen Thar.
