Gee, I missed this one.
The only things I went for that were "Musts" were a Moto Lita wheel, the std. one is beyond cheesy to me, I didn't even want to drive it home with it... the heated seats as the wind really can make it chilly when the temp drops. I fancied the hood strap, and the three eared spinners...and the usual kit (goggles, head gear, gloves).
The M3W sounds glorious with the stock exhaust, I'm not a fan of chrome, but the polished roll hoops are available from Uncle Melvyn as an aftermarket accessory.
Agree, love the look of the more traditional looking wheels, suit the car so much better. What is the diametre of the standard black wheel btw?
I was meaning to ask about the heated seats, I presume its just the heated element under your bum..do they get very toastie (uncomfortably hot) or just nice for those frosty morning drives? I also assume its just a single on/off, not several settings like in normal cars.?
Also, the chrome hoops (and any other chrome bits)..where are these avalible as an accessory, I can't find any listed, let alone prices etc..?
Darren, the std. wheel is 14", and to my eye, is too small, I went with a four spoke 15" Moto Lita, the only issue is that the tonneau won't fit unless you remove the wheel, which adds to roadside drama for the passers by (as if you need more of that). It's interesting that Michael brings up the vibes thru the wheel, I suppose that never registered b/c I actually like all the Sturm und Drang. And I never drive w/o my kangaroo gloves, anyways.
The heated seats are a must IMNSHO if you plan on driving in cooler weather, they get toasty but not uncomfortably so, and you need all the warmth you can get, you;re exposed to all the elements and the wind chill even on relatively warm sunny days in the autumn or early spring is really considerable.
Melvyn Rutter has many polished bits, reasonable too....so you can add things like roll hoops or taillights and the like. See if the aluminium engine turned dash panels are available, too, This is just me (LOL!), but I don't like the chrome engine either, so if you want the other bits, there's no reason to go full on chrome pack to get what you're after.
I also like the door pockets, they can't hold much, but any space is useful, and they look very nice.
