@ amaren, dont worry about the look as it fits in just perfectly & comes to a great convinience.
If you thinking about getting it fitted than just simply go for it, you will appereciate your decision after you start using it.
For pictures, that i dont have rite now as my car has gone out of town.
If you need any help in buying it than do pm me ill help you out.

I got black and beige seat covers from MGA.
Contrast of Black againest beige should look good.
Maybe, If I find time, I will upload some pics of current seat covers.
I don't think Black would look nice in Ertiga. I have both Black and Beige Armrests Though I haven't fitted any of them in my Ertiga, I can click and post a picture here with both armrests Black and Beige. That would give you a rough idea how will it look in your Ertiga.

Yesterday I fitted my Ertiga ZXI with Autoform UcrossPluse Seat cover. We went for nutmeg colour for base and gray patty. Got it fitted from a local supplier. It cost me Rs13000 and the waiting period was 14 days. Was the price ok?
It took a total of 4 hours to get the work done. They stitch the cover through and through the original seat. Each pierce of the needle pierced through my heart[cry]. The original wasn't at all bad but it was getting dirty with 2 kids around. So I had to go for it. They then put u clips / staples around the edges down below the seat.
Will it not cause the seat cover to tear up at those points. Any suggestions from previous users ?
The cover fits neatly, but the workmanship could have been better. The messed up with my leavers of the middle row. Will get it corrected today. The fiber covers too were not fitted correctly just pushed in some how.

Hi guys an update from my ertiga i recently upgraded my light to 90/100 watts at Sion koiliwada,with full wiring and relay.The relay came with 1 year warranty,bulb was of hella rally(10 % extra white light),No cutting through wiring.I will get some pics of those.It was a simple easy process,of 20 minutes and done.After that i drove to dadar and back,the light bought back my confidence to drive in night,i can say that,no need of fog lamps now.[:)].Happy with the setup.

Another thing happened with me,i kept my car at workshop in chembur for painting the top for 2 days,i after i bought home i noticed that RHS wiper was making noise,when i cross checked later,the wiper was rather looking older ,and the rubber was brittle at the End.So it did'nt cleaned the windshield efficiently.I bought this into their notice that this is not my wiper,they told me that the wiper tends to wear out.I went to the Workshop manager and told the matter that my wiper has been changed,and wiper rubber does'nt wear out in two months ,He replaced the same,got new one installed on it.

Another thing i noticed today that after painting my top,the top appears shinny and smooth,but the other sides has lost it smoothness.And some roughness is felt at some areas,So what is advisable,Should i complain it to MASS?Or get the polish done from somewhere else?thinking of waxing,that might solve the issue?

I get my car serviced there.Was the roof damaged or something?

They are quite good at the service, never had any issue.

The newly painted surface will appear more shiny and smooth than the rest of the car.It is normal.Clean the car yourself and then apply car polish on the sides and everywhere you find the paint rough.

The only thing you need to check is that the color matches and the paint job was done correctly.Check for signs of overspray.Check the plastic and rubber mouldings, make sure they don't have paint on them.

If you find any problems with the paint, speak to the senior service manager.

Little paint was chipped off,which i noticed during PDI in may at vasai shop,which i ask my dealer to get fix prior to delivery.Reason: bird **** causes new paint to tear off(MASS).But it did'nt happened,so they told me they will fix it during first service,Memo was filed prior to that,so my car need to be kept at workshop for 2 days for painting job.
At first service car washing was pathetically done,there were many areas where dirt was'nt cleaned,i have to inspect myself and tell them clean here and there.
After a week i gave them to get that rest job done to,painting.I got furious because of following reasons:
1)wiper blades changed.
2)green color paint drop were found on may sides of car,even they gave a wash to the car.I noticed this a day later,when i was washing,some paint drop where removed by me while washing the car.
3)roughness noticed on they other parts of body
4)approach road(get the worst word in it)
Rest i am satisfied about their service

The approach road is bad, that is because of the heavy vehicles that use that road.They should fix it soon.The workshop area though is quite impressive.I spend time around the car when it goes for service.

They need to be more careful when the paint cars close to each other.Sometimes they don't use the booth when spraying the primer and base on plastic parts.

During my cars wash I had white color dots on my car, made them clean each and everyone of it.

Next time speak to the senior service manager and get them to address all the issues.

Yes exactly, I didn't see any lift in the washing area.There is no tunnel below either.I did make him spray the under body though.But I don't think it would be too effective this way.I will get it washed outside once the rains are over.
