3 weeks with my Hyundai Verna: PPF, door damping & customised seats

I also got ceramic coating done on all glasses including the sunroof, Nappa leather stitched on the boot floor mat and bought 7D mats.

BHPian Ruchir031 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

It's been a while and out of the 3 weeks I've had the car, it has spent most of its time at various places but home but today finally I am done with 'setting it up' and the car has come home to me and I can finally enjoy driving it!

Sharing below a few things that I've gotten done over the weeks.

Garware PPF

Getting the surface ready on a car just out of the showroom. Kinda hurt, tbh. Since it was all shiny and scratch-free but a few swirls were there.

Installing the PPF, unfortunately, I did not take any other pics or videos but I did oversee the whole process which was painful seeing all the emblems and tail lights and garnish being removed. God damn.

Final outlook!

Damping on doors

This was only done to better the NVH levels and boy has it made a difference!

Might dampen the bonnet and floor too in the future.

Chose to go with 2-layer damping for the doors.

Torq 2mm on the inside, wanted to go with Morel yellow series but the installer being a good friend suggested this instead claiming much better heat and melting resistance so I trusted him.

Morel 3 layer Acudamp 4.5mm

Seats

Initially, I was not going to get the seats done as I like fabric better than PU leather but since the car was so light the fabric started to stain just within 2-3 days of bringing the car home and I hate seeing dirty seats so had to get this done.

Customized fit 'heavy nappa leather'? There were other options like 'just nappa' roma leather, durban leather, royal touch and whatnot but I loved the feel and texture of this leather better than the others.

Old fabric cloth was removed and parts of it like velcro were retained and stitched on the new seats giving it a superior fit which is called customized fit which is better than bucket fit where only the fabric is cut and not removed.

The original design was retained. The biggest plus point was this seat was stitched right in front of me from scratch.

Other things I got done were:

• Ceramic coating on all mirrors including the sunroof.
• Nappa leather stitched on the boot floor mat.
• 7d mats

Planned for the future is LED light upgrade (stock is just horrible), fog lamp installation, speaker upgrade and footwell lights.

Now, it is time to enjoy driving this machine worry-free!
