New MG4 Owner - Looking for recommendations for accessories

[Rolfe]

That's what I was wondering.

Personally I HAVE had my LKA try to throw me agressively into oncoming traffic, wet conditions, and it got "confused by tyre tread reflections of car lights" - so ease up on your reaction to the phrase "it tried to kill me" - your personal experience of a mild LKA may not be the same as the less fortunate. Also, this is a forum of adults who sometimes vent their frustrations a little tongue in cheek, and don't need a pompous clarification to tell them off - he says, giving a pompous clarification... and waiting patiently to be removed from the forum for it

...adults? hmm...??

Any info on the bonnet struts - specs & fitment etc. Planning to fit a frunk and this seems a no-brainer alongside ?

I live in Perth, WA.
I got all of my accessories from Aliexpress.
Search for "MG4 Seat covers" and look "Custom Woman Luxury" store. Mine cost my $280 AU (both Front and Back seats and I bought 2 sets of them).
Search for "mg4 electric tailgate" and look at "Autobora" for the store. Mine coat about $600 AU. Installation was about $1000 AU as the installer had not done one before and was making sure it worked and so took some time. The local installer was "Voltaic" (highly recommend them if any WA people were to get one done).

Anyone found a matching set of protectors for door sills AND rear bumper. Primarily want to stop dog scratching-up paint whilst jumping into boot and thought it makes sense then to sort the door sills as well, but Ali express seems to mostly have sets for either/or but not both...

Have a look at Rhino Bootliners. They make made to measure boot liners that go up the sides and have a flap that goes over the bumper. I've got one that goes right up to the back of the front seats so I can take my two greyhounds in the car.

Looks interesting - definitely on the wish list ?

There are great seat covers available from AliExpress and plastic floor and boot mats from an outfit in England called something like EV mats. You should be able to find threads about these. (I'm on my phone so can't get the links right now.)

I am sensitive to smells and still traumatized by the smell of the rubber mats that my wife bought for her Octavia. Do the 3D All-Weather Floor Mats – MG4 - EVfloormats.uk ? ones smell? I assume that is the company you were referring to.

 

[Rolfe]

I've got a set and no, they don't smell. They're 3D printed and not made of rubber.

 

[HazardLights]

Thank you. Got to go to bed as brain is failing to function!

I'm thinking about scrubbing mine up and putting them back in the car for winter, now. I've had the carpet mats in all summer and that's nice and they feel nice, but once we're into muddy boots territory the plastic ones are far more practical.

Which carpet ones do you have? I am thinking carpet may give me a bit more insulation from the cold through the floor. This is the cold that until a couple of years ago I had never noticed and now is very painful for me in case your wondering what on Earth I am talking about. I'd have rolled my eyes at this in the past until it happened to me.

 

[Rolfe]

These are the actual MG4 branded mats the dealer sold me with the car. I don't really experience this sensation of cold coming up through the floor that you're talking about, so I don't know how best to prevent it. Since I don't think cold is really coming up through the floor it seems more likely to be a property of the surface material, and the plastic of these mats might not be ideal. But you could look at putting a bit of carpet remnant on top of them, under your feet? So long as it was secured so that it couldn't interfere with the pedals.

 

[HazardLights]

I went with the Super ones from here MG Motors UK MG4 EV 2022+ Car Mats

Thank you for your help.

I am a wreck suffering from an extreme form of Raynaud's which I won't bore you with the tiresome details of.

The MG4 might not suffer with a cold floor as much as ICE cars as the battery is underneath it.

I had thought that and with the heated seat and steering wheel I may be cosy enough that it overcomes the heat loss from my feet although the way my circulation closes down maybe not but the battery may still help. Having said that the battery effect will be limited by air cooling especially in winter as seen by the limited battery heating from driving and hence why there is a preconditioning feature. I am also not sure if I will get a significant effect from buying a deeper pile set of mats but I did as I have a bad habit of economising on small things but being unconstrained on restaurants, holidays and wine which are more consequential. Thank you all for your wise counselling as I obsessed over minutiae. I am looking forward to a trip into the East Neuk of Fife in my shiny new MG4 today!

Looking forward to pics! There’s a day out thread ?

I think there are some owners who pre warm their MGs before departure. I do the opposite ?. I think there’s a YT video about it. I think you can do it while still plugged in to a charger so as not to lose range ?
