Probably, every owner of a domestic GAZelle car, to one degree or another, added individuality to his iron friend. Most drivers decorate their trucks with stickers, and some go further and install body kits, alternative optics and tinting. If you want to complete the GAZelle tuning, then this article is for you.

First of all, you should pay attention to the bumper. Initially, GAZelles were equipped with a fragile plastic bumper. He could not withstand even the slightest blows, and in the event of a collision, the radiator immediately leaked. Because of this, many car owners began to install chrome bumpers and arcs. And if the first element may not fit into the look of your iron friend, then the second one will do anyway. Even if you are not going to finish your GAZelle tuning on this, be sure that the chrome arc will contrast perfectly against the background of alternative optics and bonnet airbrushing.

It is also worth highlighting such an element as rubber bumper pads. ita kind of moldings that are installed in pairs on a power element in order to protect it from minor scratches and damage. Against the general background of the GAZelle, they are not strongly displayed, but they perform their function 100 percent.

Tuning a GAZelle with an "apron"

Recently, the range of so-called "aprons" has expanded. You can see this detail in the second photo. The aprons are mounted above the bumper and serve as an extended grille for air to enter the engine compartment. In the technical part, they do not play a role - after their installation, you can not count on improved aerodynamics and economical fuel consumption. But outwardly, they will perfectly decorate the look of your Gazelle.

And if the apron is not able to provide economical fuel consumption, the spoiler will handle it. This element perfectly closes the rectangular space

in between the roof of the cabin and the body and directs the air flow not perpendicularly, but at an angle of 45 degrees. Thanks to this, you can reduce fuel consumption by 3-5 percent and add a few horsepower to the engine. For those who want the spoiler to perform not only a technical, but also an aesthetic function, you can decorate it with airbrushing.

If you want to get the full effect of tuning, you can apply one continuous pattern to the cab and body. An example of such airbrushing can be seen in the third photo. Such tuning of the GAZelle will definitely not be left without attention.

You can make a GAZelle beautifuland without expensive airbrushing. You can just paint it in metallic color. If in the data sheet in the column "color" you have white, and you do not want to enter new changes, paint the cab in this color. Such cars with a white body, mirrors and a bumper are very attractive and look great against the background of other cars. Tuning the old GAZelle is also accompanied by the installation of "eyelashes".

In conclusion, you can replace the standard headlights with alternative ones. Such optics will not only make the GAZelle attractive, but also significantly modernize it.
