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

[MG4onOrder]

I'm in my 30s and seat belt protectors changed my world! Also helps prevent knocking belts against any hard plastic. Each to their own!

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

And did fitting them affect any car info, speed, miles per kw etc?...assuming you fitted the same profile tyres

Door lock covers from Aliexpress.

No, the tyre side profile on the new wheels was dropped to match the original total diameter, so it was within 1% of the original spec.

OK, so it will not fill out the wheelarch any better but aesthetics wise ?

I am seriously considering two options...New wheels or powder coating originals.....

No, you can't get an overall bigger wheel & tyre package, (assuming it wouldn't rub) because it knocks all the measurements out.

You could if there’s a way to recalibrate the car (say from an engineering menu), this is how many manufacturers support optional larger wheels.

Hence the question because for a number of reasons I don't want to go there. Warranty, configuration issues, insurance issues etc, so I would stay within the same spec, just different options

Maybe, most manufacturers with bigger wheel options keep the same diameter though, with the tyres just getting narrower.

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.
