| BHPian  | Geeash, i doubt the windows media player will recognize the i pod after all it's a rival.  kidding..anyways just buy a nice 4 ,gb or 8 gb memory stick store the stuff you like listening to,connect it and forget it. Thats what i have done and suits me fine.yes the grouch for me is the absence of a bottle holder and the miserly pockets...however, do you have any issues with ground clearance, i have a petrol emo as well and the other day nearly scraped all the speedbreakers. Never happened before,but must say they were more like little hills than legal speedbreakers.Any other petrol lineas facing this issue about low GC? My front dics seem to be collecting a little rust and its just 4 weeks old...is that normal? |

Creative sales person, but not wise. It is cliche'd that one has to wear seat-belts et al, but trust me it has saved lives and I know someone who was saved just because of the seat belts. I even love the speed limit beeper in Linea, although it is Highly Annoying, still it makes perfect sense when you are driving high speed on highway for a long time and dont have a check on your speeds, same goes with AirBags..safety first. | |

| Pics and sunfilm I am uploading the photographs i had taken during the PDI and during the delivery of the vehicle.            Updates I have fixed the mudflaps from concorde for linea. I have fixed sunfilm for my car. I had downloaded the xls file uploaded in team-bhp sunfilm thread which gave me great insight about the comparison of sunfilm. I have judged the sunfilm of each brand by parameters of TLV, TSER,IRR, UVR. I had gone to various dealers for garware, llumar, v-kool, sloarguard, 3M and have assessed each film. My suncontrol choosing experience I first went to Gareware (Raj Agencies, Pantheon road, egmore, chennai). I had shortlisted ICECOOL SHEILD for my front windscreen and icecool grand elite 50 and 70 for my sides. When i saw the film i found out the film was based on metallic properties. It had a green sheen which i thought will not go well with my red colour. The manual of the film stated that the windsheild film had a IR Rejection of 94% but when i checked with the light and infrared meter the garware had, i found out that it reflected on 75% of IR. The side films had a IR rejection of 88% though which was impressive. But i did not want to put that film as it had green colour so dropped it. Next went To Sandhya Agencies (LLumar), Alwarpet. I had shortlisted two films AIR75 for the windscreen and AVS60 for the side and rear. I found out that the AIR75 had only 39% TSER though the dealer said it had High IRR. AVS60 was impressive with 59% transperancy and TSER 59% but the cost of the film for sides and rear alone would be rs.25000 for linea and AIR70 to front would be a additional of 8k. This film was based on the recent concept of nano technology where there are 250 nano layers of the film in a single sheet which gives maximum heat rejection. The price put me off. V-kool had similar film which was pretty expensive which costed 35k for linea. So came back. Finally went to Shri Balai Agencies Alwarpet who was the authorised dealer for 3M. They also had The crystalline series film which was based on nano technology but to my surprise it was much cheaper 15k for sides and 6k for front. so they showed me CR70 for front and CR50 for sides CR70 Transprency : 70% UV rejection: 99.9% IR rejection: 97% TSER: 59% Anti Glare too CR 50 Transparency: 50% UV rejection: 99.9% IR rejection 97% TSER : 66% I personally checked everything with the meters they had and found to be correct. A surprise is that this film had even better IRR and TSER than the top films of V-KOOL, LLUMAR,Garware. Ithink at this point of time this is the bast film available in the market. So i chose these two films and asked them to fix it. The glasses were professionall removed (side alone) and taken to a room which they call as dust free. The guy did a decent job in fixing . The front and back windscreen was done in car itself with doors locked from inside to prevent dust. Took a time of 4 hours for it. Came back satisfied. I was also given a discont from the price. I Purchased 3M car cleaning kit and liquid wax too for rs.850. They gave me a box of tisses and a cloth for wiping sides and windscreen as a compliment. I was told not to draw down my side windows for 3 days. And for 3 days there would be a minimal glare until the soap oil evaporates. I will try tp asses the films after # days and post you poeple the result. I would suggest the users to chose the maximum transparent film (TVL) for front with maximum heat rejection (TSER, IRR) and MAX heat rejection film (TSER, IRR) for sides These are the pics after the sunfilm was pasted Quote:

| Thanks for the information! That was really educative! And nice to note that they just did not apply the sheet and then cut if to shape for the side windows. And the car in red is BEAUTIFUL! |
