In the Pakistani North West Frontier Province, NWFP, there’s a long tradition of customizing trucks and buses in the most fanciful ways. The owners believe that driving an eye-catching vehicle means good fortune in business, disregarding the fact that most of the times, the amount of decorations obstruct the driver’s view on the road. 

Two cities in Pakistan are famous for the decoration of trucks: one is Peshawar, the other is Quetta. The two places produce different styles of design and accessories, but the “school of Peshawar” is by far the most imaginative and unpredictable, as the subjects for the designs is inspired by both religious and popular culture. On buses and trucks in Peshawar it is possible to find blessings for God, as well as animals, landscapes and portraits of Bollywood stars. Besides the painted decorations, there are lots of mirrors, chromed plating’s and colourful plastic fans. This feature consists in images taken in the streets of Peshawar, but also during a visit in some garages for customizing trucks.
