Rene, I have bought a tpu key cover, from Ali, as well as a android wireless adapter. You can also get an adapter to run a full android box, so watching netflix and you tube is possible. (not while driving). I also bought a small divider for the armrest cubby hole. Cheap on ali.
Love the white, it has a super contrast with the black accents and spoiler, and is pearlized, so really is a stand out colour. Would have gone for it myself, but I have a white bmw, so needed a change. Thanks for your findings. Pick mine up the around the 25th. Just hope its not too big for central london!!
Yeah already had a look around, there’s a few nice enough key covers (even on Amazon, but those are just Ali resellers anyway), the same for the AA adapter (we’ll be going with AAwireless, http://www.aawireless.io/en). Full android box is too much, just need google maps and spotify to work through AA – the car limits volume output at 75% when using bluetooth, for some reason. Some slightly quieter mixed songs were not “loud enough” for my taste.
Dividers for cubbies etc i’ll print myself, same with an adapter for the cupholders that.. i guess, are there. It doesn’t hold small coke bottles, they flop around – i find that distracting. But that’s easily fixable, i’ll just print a sleeve, few springs that i still have lying around from other projects – in fact, i do like that i can “modify” the car to make it better, in that sense. I’ll offer the files for free here once i sketched them, for others to print as well, where possible. Can’t do anything just yet without being able to measure everything.
The dash cover probably will be of the suede flavour ($75 from the US, company called Covercraft, https://www.covercraft.com/product/suedemat-custom-dash-cover/DMS). Need to read into that a bit more – i may just print a small clip-on sleeve for the bezel, in black. Might fix the biggest issue (the silver bezel reflecting brightly in the windscreen, at least on a very sunny day) already.
We didn’t even notice that it was a pearl white – they had a white one on the lot, but that was a bit of a.. garden ornament, i was told, after calling it a barnfind.
As you can tell.. hard to tell what sort of paintjob that is, other than “treesap-white”. The car also has a blackberry bush sitting on the bonnet.
Brand new car btw, Ultimate RWD, less than 15 miles on the clock, still everything wrapped inside and out, no PDI/PDP done. Even has the door foam bumpers still.
But, from pictures, the only two colours for us would’ve been white, as well as Gravity Gold Matte (which looks rather silvery for gold, but alas). I think that’s a nifty colour too, but white with white interior.. Always wanted a car like that, here’s my opportunity to see if i actually would enjoy it (or get peeved off with cleaning every week).
I will say, if you’re anything like us, you’ll love it. It just offers so much for comparatively little money, and actually has some road presence. And it looks cool with the roof open.
And, the thing we were most giddy about, stupidly enough, is the fact that on the rear bench, at the bottom, there’s an actual plug point. Which means, proper cooling box, cool drinks and sammies for picnic weee! 😀
