Welcome to Ravi's web world: 01/10/08

Nowhere in the country (India) would you encounter such a profusion of forts. And such variety. Sited on an island, as at Murud-Janjira or guarding the seas as at Bassein, or among the Sahyadri hills, as at Raigad, whose zig-zag walls and rounded bastions sit like a sceptre and crown amidst hills turned mauve.

Most of the forts in Maharashtra whether up in the hills or near the seas are associated with Shivaji --the great Maratha warrior and an equally great fort builder. Moreover, these forts were treated as mini-cities, such as Panhala, which is now a hill station. The concept of the fort-city was, however, not peculiar to Shivaji alone. The Portuguese who came to India as traders and missionaries, built within a century of their coming, Bassein, a garden city to rival many a European capital.

Audi A8 Polished

In Dubai the mtm Audi A8 polished was the eye-catcher. The car was analyzed and in many studies the enamel varnish of the aluminum car body was removed. Furthermore the car was cleaned. After that, the car body was polished with fine abrasive paper as well as special polishes to high gloss. The blank dress must not have any defects, because of the fact that retouching was not possible. finally the car was protected with special clear varnish against enivornmental impacts.

Because of the fact that it is impossible to polish plastic parts like front- and rear spoiler, mirror house, side sill board or also fuel tank cap, they were enameled in a complex way to get a chrome effect. finally they were polished with clear varnish.

For the new top model of the Audi family we developed a discreet aerodynamic package for better output. The front- and rear spoiler is available in different materials like Carbon, aluminum vaporized or to enamel in the current car-color. In the
MTM A8 in Dubai interior there are entrance strips as well as door mats with mtm logo available. A steering wheel can be ordered soon. The kingly leather accoutrement can be worked over in the way you want to get a kingly ambiance in the car. The offer of interior parts are rounded off by changed instruments scales - the speed indicator can show more than 300 km/h.
