Arun Panwar, a popular YouTuber, converts his existing Ford Endeavour to Raptor. You would know that Ford has quit its operations in India since September 2021. Prior to that, there were over a million owners of Ford cars in the country. The most prominent vehicles in the last few years include the Figo, EcoSport and Endeavour. After its departure, Ford fans are voicing their opinion about getting these products via the CBU route. But that would be too expensive because of exorbitant import duties. That is where aftermarket car modification houses come into the picture. Here are the details.
