    Tesla 3 Highland Nova wheels without trim

    Someone asked a while back to see what the new Nova wheels look like without the aero trim pieces. Took them all off for ceramic coating this weekend, and thought to take some photos to save people the annoying task of removing them all. Personally, I will be putting the trim pieces back on. But...

    Reversing issues in new MYP = accident

    haha wow same, I had just put on a new refurbished chrome bumper to my Datto and then promptly backed into a short post. Burnt into my mind. I suspect Datsuns have taught many a parking lesson over the years :D

    Toyota Bz4X

    Having spent some time with bZ4X in US & Aus, I can say it seems to be a half hearted attempt and unfortunately an undercooked product. It's clear that a lot of platform constraints/compromises were made. FYI the car itself is quite long, it's actually 9cm longer than the Rav4. However, interior...

    Tesla 3 Windshield pits/stone chips? Is it softer glass than other cars?

    The front end of the Model 3 is quite low so it probably does mean more debris hits the windscreen rather than the front-end of the car.

    New M3SR vs LR

    I tend to think if you are asking the question, probably SR is the way. For me it was a no brainer for the LR. No other car offers so much more for only $10k extra!! Power, AWD, range, sound system & sweet sweet alcantara.

    Not exactly an 'accessory' but goddamn delicious looking after getting this car detailed. Very happy. I had second thoughts getting a new car detailed but am very glad I did. The level of gloss, depth and shine is insane. Flawless now. I take all my cars to Dan at Dans Garage, and highly...

    I'll be doing it in a couple of weeks to ceramic coat the wheels with Gtechniq. Will take a pic There is an inner lip the plastic bits clip onto, I dont think it will look too good without them tbh.

    Alignment of interior door card has nothing to do with the number of motors. Yeah that doesn't look acceptable. Hopefully they can adjust it easily enough.

    I understand a screen protector for a phone but what's the logic here - is it simply a "just in case" given how expensive the screen replacement could be? Or is there an actual risk in some scenario I'm not thinking about - maybe this is children related? I prefer no protection cos it just...

    Fair enough. Just trying to see if we can work out any rhyme or reason. Seems perhaps not, just a lot of randomness & luck involved.

    Aliexpress not Amazon, but I bought both the front console and armrest console organisers (flocked) and they are great. The front one slides forward to reveal the cavernous space underneath. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006330943856.html

    I'd be curious to know if anyone waiting longer than 4 weeks paid in cash. There may be more factors into delivery scheduling than just FIFO.

    Yes Tried various attempts without any luck so far. Will attempt standing on one leg and whistling the tune of 'its a long way to tipperary' next and will report back.

    Those sill protectors look good. Are they available in a non 'carbonfiber' style finish so it looks more OEM?

    This may be of interest to some - new stealth grey vs. old stealth grey New has a lot more depth and metallic.

    That looks sensational in blue! Novas really make it look spot on. I wish it had maybe half the wheel arch gap though. I heard the Highland was slightly lower so looked at the comparison. 5mm lower fyi and 2mm lower ground clearance. Ref Dimension Legacy 3 (2019-2023) (mm) Highland 3 (2023+)...

    If new and not yet detailed/protected, worth at least putting on some SiO2 or wax on the front end and mirror caps - it will make spraying off the bugs a synch at your destination. Try not to let dead bugs sit too long as they will just get baked on and dead bug acidity affects the clearcoat.
