Now a dilemma window tint or front grill. Thoughts anybody.

[Mr H]

Just seen these images on fb. I think it looks great.

I think that black wrap transforms the look of the new model.

I like it too but you have to appreciate you are actually saying "I prefer the car to look like a petrol engined car".

Looks nice on the silver model, but I think it takes the look of the car back to the Gen1 model ?.
If that was the aim, then that’s great ?.
I think ? I have come to like the new shape now after all.
A lot of people say the wedge bumper shape looks a bit like a Kona or even a model 3 and
I have to agree.
But nobody comments on there shape ?.
I guess it’s because folks are comparing the Gen1 and the Gen2 ZS EV models on a side by side basis ?.
I don’t mind my car looking a bit more like other EV models now, to be honest.
It’s a personal thing really !.
At least there is an option to make the car look like the older model if you want.

You can actually buy the little chrome covers off Ali Express and go the whole hog.
TBH I think the new grill looks similar to the Ford Mach-E.

What’s a rough guide for window tinting?

What’s a rough guide for window tinting?

A LOT will depend on your geographical location, but a ROUGH guide ................... £200 - £250 ?.
I would advise informing your insurance company, as it could be seen as a modification.
Some charge, some don't !.

Damn,

I was feeling that I was better off getting the pre-facelift car, despite the increased range / better seats but you have gone and shattered my delusion!

I’ve been quoted £250 by the dealer

I’ve been quoted £250 by the dealer

Our ZS EV was done locally and I think it was around £180 ish.
When I returned to pick up the ZS - I asked him if he would be infested in doing my wife’s Fiat 500 in a bit of a cash deal, for £250 ?.
He agreed and I left the Fiat 500 with him.
Both cars done from the B pillar back.
Have a look if you have a company called “Global Tints” in your area.
They are a country wide franchise.
Al lot of members have used Global.
They come to your house as long as you are in their catchment area.
You can get a quote at least ?.

Doe she have creepy crawlies in her car then?

Sorry for the Typo folks.
Predicted text is fantastic !.

I think the new version looks SO much better with the black grille! So much so it may allow me to upgrade because I thought it was so ugly in its standard state.

 

[jazzist]

More grille! For the full fossil look we could use the spare space under the bonnet not for a frunk but for a small rainwater harvesting tank. Then all we need is a fake eggzorst at the rear of the car; downstream of this would be an electric water heater to generate steam using the harvested water to give us a steam exhaust.

This seems pretty reasonable!

That price says hatchback! If you change it to SUV, it will go up!!

No option for SUV.

 

[Alan]

why make the car look like the ICE version? Don't understand that! I'd get the windows tinted above getting a black 'grille' Mind you I've ordered black anyway so no difference for me!!

 

[MoDolph]

I don't get it either. I think the new front end looks better than the gen 1. Form follows function
