It's 'freer' especially in second and third gear. |
Thank you and I agree, its a lot better now after 5K. Plus the human mind is so adept at getting used to things, we may be ignoring what ever little is left of it. Quote:

Thank you! And yes, roads have become so terrible inside city these days, I had one entire requirement dedicated to it Quote:

Have u thought of putting side steps so as to prevent pants being dirtied?

Thanks, Yes holes have to be made on the panel where the rear bottle holder is, to its side to be precise. This panel btw is not very sturdy so the arm rest moves freely left right if you apply a little bit of pressure. Always better to get OE ones I would say.
The side step I am a little apprehensive about so as to how it will impact the looks, need to see once in flesh before taking a call. Quote:

Thank you so much! That was a good compliment! For lack of bottle holders we use the huge parcel trays. This example re-iterates the fact that small small things can be worked around, as long as the core of the car is good enough. Quote:

Rating very well deserved 5 stars.
I remember a friend mentioning he got it for his Duster so I don't think availablity (mats customised/designed for the Duster) is an issue. I can find out from where he bought them, in case you need it. |
Thank you! Yes, please any information on the 3D mats would be really helpful as I have been checking with couple stores in Bangalore and they have NOT yet got it. Quote:

One question, Does centre arm rest fit to RxZ (where rear A/C present) ? |
I doubt it will fit, because the access area for the people to fit it (from the back seat) is completely blocked by this tower, they might have to take off the tower temporarily. Quote:
