Whether it’s your first car or your fifteenth, picking yourself out a new set of wheels is always an exciting experience. Amongst the joy of choosing your latest model and picking with extreme care and consideration your drive-off-the-forecourt track, there is also the added excitement of getting to personalise your new car and really make it your own. If you’re looking for subtle ways to make your new vehicle one to remember, here is our must-read shopping list.
Play The Name Game
This is not a light decision, but it is an important one. Every new car needs a name, and until this ceremonial action has been taken then it’s almost impossible to connect with your vehicle. It’s science.
A New Scent
You might be loyal to Jelly Belly’s Bubblegum until the day you die – and that’s fine. If you want your friends and family to associate you and your car unwaveringly then being consistent is a great decision. If, however, you opt to give your new wheels a personality of their own, then picking out a brand new signature scent is a great start. If you’re not a fan of dangling things in your peripheral (now that we mention it, who is?) then why not opt for a vent scent? The benefit of these is that you get an added waft when you turn the air on. Fruity!
Get Your Gadgets In Order
Having a car that functions perfectly for your needs is a time saver, and so sorting out what nifty things you need and where you need them is a good getting-to-know-you task with your car. Whether it’s a phone holder for your sat-nav needs, a family-friendly backseat mirror, or even an aux cable to ensure you’re musically prepared for all road trips - make sure you plan ahead! Inside tip – for cars unequipped to pair with an aux cable, try the GoGroove Flexsmart Bluetooth adapter to quickly and easily connect your phone to your car and both play music and safely take calls whilst driving.
Replace The Floor Mats
Floor mats might not be something you think about often, but they’re a quick and easy change that can have a great impact on the feel of your car’s interior. There are numerous websites where you can choose off the shelf designs or even customised floor mat options. And you don’t have to go mad! Simply opting to have your name or initials embroidered into the corners of your mats is a nice touch that feels personal and premium.
Get New Gear
On the theme of customisation, an added option is to replace your gear stick knob. This is simple, affordable, and as it’s a small one-off piece within your vehicle the change will feel token and subtle.
