I would like to thank the readers for the encouragement and contribution so far. This section, is an attempt to share some sourcing strategies I used for accessorizing my Ecosport.
However before I share specifics I have a question, how would you respond to this ? In my view, the most practical difference between the AT titanium and MT Ambient variant is the AT gearbox, rest is all aliexpress.com
I am conscious that many of you wouldn’t agree with this. Let me also admit that safety can’t be bought from aliexpress.com , at best a policy from policybazaar.com however that’s no substitute. Exceptions kept aside, from the 3.7L (and the associated cascading effect of the loan) I was able to save, I decided to use 0.7L towards buying features. Features/accessories that I wanted in my car as against the ones that come default with a particular variant, so I had the list (rolling) set out :
1. Exterior enhancements :
o Roof rails
o Body treatments + Colored door handles + ORVMs
o Alloys + Bigger/Better Tires
o Chrome front Grille
2. Interior enhancements:
o Rear seat Headrests
o All Black or Black + Tan interiors with bright silver/chrome garnish
o Remote start
3. Lighting enhancements:
o Fog lamps + DRLs
o Automatic headlamps
o HIDs
4. Safety Features:
o Tire Pressure monitors
o Front and rear Cameras
o Blind zone alarms
5. Most of the above items controlled thru a Carputer – that's certainly better then SYNC
, can be customized, is future ready and at the least does basic stuff like navigation, music and car diagnostics well
In subsequent posts, I would try and cover 1 category per post to ensure reader convenience
