Hi everyone, I have a 2022 EIger Gray 110 X Dynamic with Ebony interior coming in early next month. First vehicle I am purchasing in a long time and looking forward to doing some modifications. I have read through a bunch of threads, and will post a few other questions over time, but wanted some initial advice on some features I was not able to have since I did not originally order the car.
1. Wheel arch protection - Need to purchase and planning to paint gloss black. Is oem the best way to go? Just making sure no other aftermarket ones to consider. I am planning to go aftermarket 20" wheels with more aggressive A/T tires.
2. 11.4" Touchscreen - Can this be retrofitted? From my reading it doesn't seem like it can, but wanted to ask just in case....
3. Rough-cut walnut veneer - Possible to easily retrofit?

Thanks for help with my initial questions!

1. I would go OEM, but if price is a "thing" there are plenty of knock offs. From what I see, the main diff is the quality of the trim tape and maybe the flexibility/thickness of the plastic. They all should install with the same clips in the same locations. PowerfulUk has both or you can go AliExpress if you want to dumpster dive.
2. Lots of discussions re: this. No one has actually accomplished it that I've read about. It may be feasible but the current belief is that the pillar has different indents to accommodate and will also need to be replaced (pillar being the horizontal magnesium painted "thing").
3. I've seen some different types of veneers. PowerfulUk has them for the interior door pulls (https://www.powerfuluk.com/vehicles/...3-110-rhd.html) but not for the center cubby hole trim (whatever that's called). They are a very good on-line company with positive feedback on this forum.

Good luck.

 

Much appreciated for quick response!

 

Thanks for the help.

 

I would go OEM as well. You can get just the parts from a dealer for ~$700 and its a very easy job to do yourself. Just need to be careful when aligning the front of them to the bumper as that's the only part you can look up and potentially mess up.

If you do go aftermarket just be sure to get the "US" spec ones as they have side lights built in and non-American ones do not.
