DAMD offers G-Class, Defender kits for Suzuki Jimny

If you’re among the few to think that the new Suzuki Jimny looks like a shrunken Mercedes-Benz G-Class, then things are about to get more interesting. Japanese aftermarket tuning company DAMD Inc has released two conversion kits called “Little G” and “Little D,” which turn the funky Jimny into either a G-Wagen or a Land Rover Defender.

Both body kits are quite elaborate – the Little G kit completely transforms the Jimny into a rugged-looking thing, complete with a new headlights housing, vertical LED turn signals, AMG-style twin-louvre grille with the company logo, new bumpers all around and a black strip that runs along the character line.

Of course, there are also new side steps, remoulded wheel arches (squared off to look like the G-Class), side-exit exhausts and new twin-eight spoke dark alloy wheels. The rear end is largely untouched, although the spare wheel cover gets a new design, complete with DAMD Inc’s company logo. The Suzuki Jimny badges however, have been removed.

If you’re not a fan of Little G, perhaps Little D will tickle your fancy. It’s very much the same recipe and looks – depending on your preference – more subdued than the Little G. Up front, the bonnet edge features the LITTLE:D lettering (as opposed to Defender on the real thing), new radiator grille and positioning lights, a rugged bumper guard with integrated fog lamps, as well as skid plates.

The fender mouldings are left as is, but the rump gets a more extensive redesign. The original tail lights have been swapped out for individual bulb units (for brake, turn signal and reverse). Of course, the front and rear apron come with rivets, which is a clear nod to the Defender.

Lastly, the Little D package comes with model-specific dark alloy wheels with off-road tyres, dark grey paintwork and mud flaps. What do you think, folks? Impressive, isn’t it?
