Afternoon all,
So after an overly busy week since getting my white/white M3P on Tuesday today I finally got time to fit some of the trickier (ish) accessories.
I fitted the Taptes USB hub and Wireless phone charger pad the day I got her, they were super simple and work great. The taptes wireless charging pad also seems to have a USB c at the side in case someone needs to plug in which is discreet and useful.
So today's to do list was
Screen protector
Frunk hooks (eBay as posted earlier in the week on another post)
Centre console wrap in brushed black
Door open stickers
Boot struts
and get DashCam working (this was just a case of unplugging my SSD and plugging it straight back in again and all is fine)
Screen protectors - cleaned the screen, got the frame ready took the protector out and doh, it's got a crack at the edge, so that's now awaiting a replacement from abstract ocean. Quality of instructions is excellent they provide everything you need so this must have just been a breakage at the factory that wasn't noticed
Centre console wrap - I was a bit nervous of this one but it went well and I think looks much better now. I actually really like the piano black ....when it's clean....but it attracts dust, fingerprints and scratches so prefer the look now. Took about 20 mins and main thing is to keep the vinyl cool. I've got one little tiny bubble but it's not very noticeable.
Door open stickers - these were cheap eBay ones and actually I think they're better than the abstract ocean ones which are really thick and 'high' ( available if anyone wants them for a donation to charity? Rather someone get some use than me just have them lying around when I won't use them)
Boot struts are to do later on once I can get the wife to hold the boot open, they're just £16 ones from amazon months ago and some of the reviews vary so we'll see how they go.
Have also cleaned off the sticky residue from the drivers side of the centre console that was left over from shipment and have the passenger side to do later on.
Roll on me getting the software update for 2020.16 or 20 so I can use the sentry cam viewer on the screen
Any questions on any of this feel free to ask away. More pics of the car soon!
Sticky plates hopefully on their way too!
