My choice would be:

1) floor mat : Noodle mats
2) car cover : tphcovers.in for upmost safety. Amazon/Flipkart for basic covers.
3) mud flap : Push dealer to give these free.
4)steering cover : Not required IMO.
5)seat cover (seat cover is included in XZA varient) : I had Tata OEM seat covers for few months and removed them from front seats as they made the seat contours disappear. As you are getting it free, I would say go for it. Try to check how it looks in any other car at your dealership.

I heard that recent models do not have boot lamp and spare wheel reduced to 13 inchers. Please let us know once you get a chance to PDI your car.

Can the alloys of Tigor XZ petrol fitted in the Tiago XZA?
If that is possible, it'll immensely enhance the looks of the Tiago wheels.

Tigor XZ has 15" wheels and Tiago has 14" so its better to change tires as well to reduce side wall height. I have seen few Tiago's with 15" wheels so it may not be an issue.

So it won't be a direct fit?
I was planning to get it done right at the delivery.

I am not sure if it's a direct fit from Tigor (there are other specs as well on top of diameter like inset/offset, rim width etc) which may affect ride quality and steering response.
Please check with your dealer if they can exchange your stock alloys/rims & tires with Tigor ones.

Guys sorry to post this off topic query in a Tiago thread. Its a generic question.

Hi Anshuman I got them from Sachin's Autoshop Koramangala. Its an old reputed shop of Bangalore.
Since you are using art leather seat cover from a long time , you may be able to answer my question. Off late, wifey is nagging me to get art leather seat cover done in black for our Grand i10 since she thinks the fabric seats of our car is very difficult to maintain. Can't blame her too since my kid drops everything from water to ice creams on the seat which is difficult to clean. I know a very reputed seat cover place in Cochin is known for excellent workmanship. Contacted them for a quote and they offered to get the seat cover done for 8.5k. They are also willing to get extra under thigh support for both front seats for another 2k. My question is

1. While going through Team bhp , i have seen many members recommending against art leather seat covers since it gets much hotter than fabric. My car is driven in Kerala and it gets pretty hot and humid during summers. Do you think art leather would be a good option?

2. Are these easy to maintain? By look at them, i feel you can just wipe them with wet clothes which should bring them back to shape.

Btw, below is the seat cover i was planning for my Gi10. I would also be installing a drivers Armrest along with it. I think the black seat cover with red stitches should go well with my Red car. Your opinion?

1. YES, art leather covers do get hot (make that extra hot for Kerala) in summers. Look for the porous ones if you decide to stick with art leather only. They breathe better than non porous ones.

2. YES, they are very easy to clean and maintain. A wet wipe immediately cleans the fallen ice cream. Also, they can be easily self maintained using a art leather cleaner, just spray and wipe. No more dry cleanings needed.

Just a suggestion, though Black looks fab but gets hottest too so look for other shades too.

Somesh, My car always runs on AC especially in summer and afternoon so I never faced much issues. Yes if car is parked under sun art leather gets too hot and takes time to get cool so I avoid parking under direct sun even if I have to go nearby and pay parking charges. For cleaning there are many solutions available so not an issue. Some say even toothpaste can clean it but I never tried. By the way my car has sunfilms which minimize the heat to a minor extent.

Apart from anything expect FE drop of 1 kmpl if you are using AC after car is started after being parked under sun.
