Coimbatore based KitUp automotive has revealed a modified Jeep Compass with subtle exterior changes.
Finished in a bright red shade, the modified Jeep Compass sports body colour finish on the otherwise black exterior trims on the front and rear bumpers and around the wheel arches. KitUp has added black detailing under the tail lamps and grille to match the gloss black roof. The customizer has given the factory fitted alloy wheels a titanium finish along with red highlights. The special lighting package adds LED headlamps and LED fog lamps, which are not available on the standard trims. An SRT badge sits in the bottom right corner of the tailgate but seems a bit out of place since the changes are purely cosmetic. KitUp's Facebook page also mentions a 'custom audio' setup, but does not shed light on the details.
