I keep changing them. If I'm going to a place where I know the roads are good, I keep the 15" on. Else I prefer 14". My figo was on 14" during the recent trip as I had no idea how the roads between bangalore and pondy were. So to be on a safer side, I put the 14". I changed them to 15" after the second service.

Good stuff bro.
Can you please give us some details about the floodlights, i would also like to do the same.

Cheers.

Thank you schoudhury. The flood lights are basically a pair of 10x8 SMDs mounted on a PCB. Figo's cabin light has enough space to accommodate both of them. I will post a pic with the lid opened if you want me to.

Went to the Ford dealer to test drive the Figo and i was pleasantly surprised by how big the car is from the inside! Especially the front passenger and the driver seats.

Also the rear passenger's leg room is pretty decent for a hatch. Not to forget the boot space. It's HUGE for a hatch.

What is your opinion on the drive ? Did you test drive the Diesel or Petrol?

Few more pics from the drive...

Drove both. The petrol was very underpowered but enjoyed the diesel a lot.

I did not understand one thing though - why does this not have 4 power windows? Even on the titanium it doesn't.

Haha, My dad had the same question. When you're paying close to 7 lakh for a car, is it so hard to give 4 power windows? For me it isn't a big concern as I will be travelling alone or with a max of 2 people on board rarely. My AC will be on always so never had an issue.

As per the sales guy, rear power windows were not given because the rear window doesn't roll down completely Isn't that a lame reason to give?

I got a different answer from the sales guy here. He said that in an event where the cars electricals fail(he quoted the example of the mumbai floods), and door is jammed it is easier to get out of the car

But nevertheless, i really enjoyed driving this car. The car i drove had a few thousand kms on it and had quite a few rattles. Do you have that issue?

I have few rattles too. That's because of my audio and driving tough with those 15". I'm killing them one by one as I figure out where they are coming from.

Few will be gone after I dampen the roof and boot.

I guess, from the fact there's not even a provision to fit the power window, that Ford engineers might have worked on the possibility of fitting a power window motor that is made it to work to only 60% of rolldown and would have ended up with issues, thus deleting the feature even as an accessory/aftermarket fit.

Hi Kingofmyworld, Can you share a pic with the lid open. I just tried this as well but somehow was not able to figure out on how to get the stock adapter fit a PCB board.

[infotech58]

nicely maintained car, and man - i just love your choice in alloys (your M800, and now this).

in addition to rest of your ICE, did you get Dynamat from US too OR it was bought locally? and where did you buy that armrest from?

[muke31]

Nice looking car and looks well maintained, the dynamat pack installed, is it for reducing the road noise and do you see any reduction in road noise comparing the stock car.
Installing dynamat ,will it not void warranty?


-AM.

Will do once I get back home tonight.

Thanks. I got them locally. The armrest too was sourced locally. Do a search on ebay.in and you'll have quite a lot of hand rests to choose from.

It is basically to reduce rattle from the doors on high volumes and also to reduce road noise to an extent. Did not drive without the audio after I got my car so never really noticed the difference. Sorry about that. Anyways, My my-01 are noisy themselves so I do not think I'll be able to make any difference.

No the dynamats do no make any change to the warranty. All your warranty will be intact.

Odo as of today

Here you go. This is how I arranged the 5X4 SMDs

Thanks for sharing! So looks like you have joined the two PCBs taping them together and then connected it to the female socket. I will try this as well.
