Brent initially purchased a swivel install for his screen, however it came as a left-hand drive variation from Amazon. He wound up needing to purchase another from Australia in right-hand drive.

This is promoted as scratch-resistant and shock-resistant, with an oleophobic covering to withstand oil, and finger prints. They state it is simple to set up, with automated adsorption functions, and leaves no residue if you need to eliminate it. (Pointer # 3: get a swivel screen and/or anti-glare screen protector.)

Brent’s Design Y sports a hand-stitched wheel cover. It is partially dark grey and partially white, so it mixes much better into the black and white interior of the vehicle. The white interior features white seats and white dash trim. When I inquired about the white seats revealing the dirt, Brent stated that his partner was at first worried, however as it is Brent who cleans up the vehicle and he has actually discovered that the seats tidy quickly with a moist fabric, there have actually been no issues.

Part of the setup of the guiding wheel cover needs some do it yourself sewing with thread and needle. Whoever composes the copy for Amazon explains this as “take pleasure in the enjoyable of do it yourself stitching, it worth the time and effort when set up properly.” I do not believe I would have enjoyed it, however Brent informs me it wasn’t too hard.

Specifically those white Design threes– we call them tic tacs.” I keep in mind those remarks about another finest selling world vehicle– the VW Beetle.
