Added some of those chrome covers for the wheel nuts and the wind deflectors, today.
I think the deflectors make an enormous difference to the overall look of the car (almost as significant as changing the wheels), but I feel it's missing something in general. Was thinking of adding spacers for the back wheels (they're fairly sunk into the arches) and was also considering getting some kind of a chrome cover for the rear lights (kinda like the Rav4 has). But no idea who would be the person that'd do that (assuming a DIY job would look pretty crap!).
But even saying that.. I don't want to go overboard and make it slide into the tacky category. Still do think there's something aesthetically off though. Feel like there's an obvious or easy modification/addition that'd make it look a lot better. Maybe it's just me.

On the subject of keys; I've no idea how some of ye guys are carrying around so much crap on your keyrings :eek:
I know a fella with about a dozen keys, and a a dozen big rubber keyrings of cartoon characters, etc. No idea how he copes.
This is what I have:
And I've even often thought of some kind of system to amalgamate the two separate house keys into one. I was looking online before to see would there be a car fob, like my car key above (flick-knife kinda style), and you could have your car key and a couple other keys in it (so all keys in one small plastic block). Seems like such an obvious idea to me, but couldn't find anything. Hate having keys swinging or jingling around when I'm walking or driving.

Cheers guys. I'm very happy with it all in all. Genuinely can't complain about it at all (I know it's early days though).

Yeah I think they'd look a lot better. I've no idea where to start though! There's a place called "east coast alloys" in louth, but they said they don't have spacers that would fit my car. So it'd be an ebay job, and to be honest, I've no idea what kind of spacers to buy (hub centric seems to be mentioned a lot?) or more importantly, how big you'd go.Also, I like where you have the phone holder & satnav, any car ive been in wit hone have alwasy had it on the middle of the windscreen!
Yeah I notice that a lot, especially taxis (though I suppose they'd fiddle with their phone a lot more). I find having them where they are means they're out of the way when you don't want them, and if you do want them, they're still easily visible, but too awkward to get to if you're driving (so any temptation to play with them while you're on the road gets reduced).0 -

Adding non oem chrome anywhere on a car is always tacky IMO. Similar to adding crappy mega bright Led drl to an old Audi0 -

Yeah that's what I was thinking, alright. Although I do love the idea of the chrome surrounds (wanted to do it on the 407, too). The Rav4 had an actual accessory you could buy for it, but no other cars I've had since have had the option.
Apparently my car has DRLs, but they weren't specced, so they're not available in the menu. From my quick read online, I can (again, apparently) bring it to a Citroen dealer and they can enable them in the menus. Then it's just a case of sticking the bulbs in (all the wiring is there. Supposedly in some cases the bulbs are also there, and it's literally just an update it needs to allow them to be used).
I find DRLs a bit blinding in general, though, so not sure I'd be too fussed.House unlocked and keys always in ignition. It is safe indeed. Apart from that there's always someone home - I work permanent nights, ms jou works permanent days. Yes, you can. Feel free to ask. Do not hesitate. Anytime, like...
Where do you live? :P
Unrelatedly, a friend was telling me about a fun game you play online. It's called "I keep mine in". Pretty much, you post whereabouts in your home you keep your valuables. It's great fun.
You go first, joujoujou... 0 -
