Thank you praveen_v.
As I have said - I will discuss with my wife and daughters and take this further.
We are democratic - you know! So, this will require a 'vote'.
Dear k.sumit,
Thanks for the prompt and detailed reply.
As I said to praveen_v for his response, I shall have to share this with my wife and daughters. Then there will be the customary vote.

I had actually thought of the same. Let me discuss with wife. My feeling is she will say 'pay more go Honda'. Let us see.

Ouch! I hope that since the car is white and the moulding is white - I may not face this issue.

I agree. Again I feel I might land up with the OEM ones.

This might be easy to decide. One look on-site should be enough - one way or other. I know that I will need some mats - which ones - I can decide..

Looks like I will take this!

You must be a good teacher! You have done your study and are making me do 'homework'!

Anyway, I do totally agree with you. I will check up outside too and then decide.

Actually, I prefer light and not all black interiors. I like the roomy feeling and 'enlightened' atmosphere.
Again, can be decided on the spot.

Ah! Ha! I had missed this! Thanks for the heads-up.

Congrats on your Jazz. I hope you are enjoying it and will keep doing so for a lot of kms.
In my case, since I am coming from a Honda City, the cost actually seems 'easy' - well not exactly - but still not a stretch! On the other hand, I prefer to take a factory fitted - fully loaded car so that I do not have to put any additions. Unfortunately, such a version of Jazz is not available!
Anyway, thanks again for the useful suggestions.
