UK accessories for RHD Model 3 [megathread]

[Mr H]

It came from Abstract Ocean as well, though I guess they may also be available elsewhere.

Model 3 & Y Cupholder Stabilizer

I printed my own - not fitted it yet though

Heya did you manage to get round to installing it all in the end or are there some bits left over?
Thanks

Still waiting for it to be delivered unfortunately. Was handed over to the airline over 2 weeks ago, tracking hasn't updated since.

I'll post in this thread when it arrives.

Stuck on an Abstract Ocean centre console wrap earlier. For someone with zero talent at this sort of thing, having watched their video it went better than I’d hoped for...

I did the same and i notice your middle piece is just like mine. It is not quite wide enough. It irritates my OCD badly.

As the edges are not perfectly parallel, the relative width of some sections is determined by how far forward or back it is placed. Its too late for some, but worth doing a dry fit moving them slightly forward or back to see where the width matches best.

Following the rather odd statement from the garden of no. 10 today, I’m looking for a windscreen sticker for my M3 that says “eyesight test in progress”.
Anyone come across one?

Make sure you have a vulnerable young child in the car whilst you are testing whether you're safe to drive ... I'm not sure why you would do this but I believe highly intelligent government advisers consider it to be a reasonable course of action.

...highly intelligent government advisers...

Oxymoron Alert!

 

[Masklin]

Does the Force being strong count as an accessory?

I just had fitted the white mud flaps from Torque Alliance. No drilling required. I think they look pretty sweet and should do a good job reducing stone chips and mud.

Just noticed today, that the newest wireless charger from TapTes is curved at the top like the official Tesla one, which will stop it catching on the lid.

It'll probably take 6 months to get to you, but still...

There are some things I'm just going to have to go OEM for. Knowing I've been caught before means I'm not risking it!

Ah I've been considering these. Wasn't sure to go with black or white or both!! What's the quality like? Being no drill, do you reckon they'll stay on after a good winter or two?

I reckon so! The quality looks good to me. I did buy some black Taptes ones but when I saw these white ones I preferred them instead.

More a tool rather than accessory but I bought this to enable easy removal of the wheel centre caps so that I can easily switch between the aeros and the alloys (and also to remove the caps to align the bottom of the T logo with the valves).

Heavy Duty Suction Cup Mini Screen Dent Puller Remover Tools Lift Glass Moving~ | eBay

Works well for under £5. Just need to wet the plastic surface and push hard before pulling the lever back to remove the caps.

Yes, these things are ideal. They're what I have used ... check out Amazon too (a bit cheaper).

Ordered this set the other day via Model 3/Y store as the price was incredible. Later turned out it was a pricing error which they corrected the next day (£37 -> £230). They honoured the price though which was completely unexpected. Not pictured below but includes the dashboard trim too. Dispatched already so should be here soon.

Unfortunately I'm still waiting for this to arrive. Was handed over to the airline on 18 May and tracking hasn't updated since.

Meanwhile a smaller item from the same seller was purchased on the 2nd of June and arrived in the UK this morning from China!

 

[MrBadger]

I've not needed to remove the centre cap, iirc the official caps come with a tool, but for similar tasks, a baby's bottle teat that we had to hand worked well.

The colour match looks pretty good in the photo - how is it in the flesh?

Looks good enough. Not perfect, but better than black!

Anybody seen anything to protect the front door ‘pockets’ & sills? Getting loads of footmarks & worried the plastic will get scratched
