what to add on to a new car (cosmetic or practical)

[tsedge]

I just had manufactured 1000 MG4 window piercing hammers fully logo'd and ready to go...so disappointed to hear about a fix...anyone want an MG4 toffee hammer?

The Briggie Breakout Buddy, was it?

 

[Sloucher]

I did a quick search on Amazon and there are a number of MG4 items starting to appear:

Amazon.co.uk : mg4 ev accessories

www.amazon.co.uk

Things like:

Car Logo Alloy Key Ring
Car Boot Protector Mat
Car Anti-Slip Stickers

amongst others

Although looking at them they're mostly the same things as you'd find on Aliexpress.

Yeh, it looks like someone in the UK might be drop-shipping from China

The most striking improvement, you could make cosmetically, is better wheels. The ones as supplied are mediocre looking and too small.

It's an expensive choice as a new set of wheels and tyres doesn't come cheap. It will also reduce your range a little, but it is, without a doubt, the best cosmetic improvement you could make.

A nice set of stylish 18" wheels transformed my previous ZS EV

Have you seen this? It's in German but you can see the difference changing to 19" wheels. I think it looks so much better.

Trouble is ride height looks terrible. That leads you down wanting it lower which = ruined ride. I'll put up with undersized wheels and better ride. Think my big rim pothole dodging days are behind me now.

It's a shame the wheels aren't just a tiny bit bigger as it would look better. The wheel arches look to me like they are crying for a bit more filling. Won't be changing the wheels though. And, maybe controversially, I like the aero covers.

Boot mat from Amazon.

That looks good. My car is often going to have 2 muddy dogs in the back. Have you got a link please?

I saw this in a German MG4 video. Cheap Chinese tat and obviously no use for Trophy owners but I'll give it a go.

I've been happy with mine, though you'll want a different variety. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/10050...der_detail.order_detail_item.3.5b51f19cfeNXOU

doh !
I've also bought a Carlinkit - is it not possible to use both? I thought there were 2 USB power slots under the tray? I have a feeling you're going to tell me this isn't possible and that I've wasted £7

Rubber Car Boot Mat Liner (137cm X 110cm) Universal Non-Slip Deep-Dish Heavy-Duty Rubber for Cars SUV Truck and VAN, Waterproof, All Weather https://amzn.eu/fsfIIEA

We got this size as the smaller one (120x80) was not in stock. You may be able to use the smaller one as well.

The mat needs to be trimmed. The excess from the larger mat fit really well between the two rear foot well mats and covered the small hump in the centre.

That wireless charge pad looks like it connects to the USB C port. The Carlinkit needs to connect to the USB A port so you should be OK. ?

USB splitter and you can plug both in ?

Ah yeah, I see what you mean, thanks.

I also have those rubber mats that you have (although without the coloured edging). They're currently hanging up in my garage and I'm hoping that the rubber smell will have faded away by the time my car turns up next year ?

Would the smaller one have been a better size if available do you know?

The smaller (120x80) would have been a better size. Although you would still need to trim some bits off. See the video below for dimensions of the boot.

Does the MG4 have puddle lights do you know i.e. door lights to illuminate the ground when opened?
If not, has anyone tried these AliExpress Link ?

 

[Nigelleics]

What lights does anyone suggest for the console area? I tend to drop my keys in the cup holder area, but once parked up I'm often struggling to find them in the dark.

Do the courtesy lights not provide enough illumination?
