ACCESSORIES
« on: June 05, 2025, 02:27:52 PM »
I started this topic for accessories, equipment additions.
I've already started here with the "Full car trunk mat".
But to keep it all here "under one roof", unfragmented.

I will gradually add here what accessories I have purchased and I would be happy if others would join in as well. 
I buy most of my products on Ali, I know the quality is worse, but I consider it a "consumable".

So apart from the "full car trunk mat", I'll start with the net between the seats, it's quite practical.
Things should serve me, not me them

My newest accessory is a cargo net, which I have attached under the boot cover by punching holes into the edges of the cover and threading the elastic cord through those holes. It's slightly too big and loose for the small boot cover of Jazz, but it's good for storing some lightweight items.

Another accessory is the boot floor mat, which I've cut from a piece of this doormat.

As far as "official" accessories go, I had the following:
- Premium Sunlight "White" Pearl colour option - (the standard black just didn't appeal to me)
- The standard Honda footwell "illumination" option  - (it kind of turned out to be two trained fireflys giving their best effort) :D - yet: I like the effect they provide!
- The dealership threw in orignial Honda floormats - (thank you!)

For "aftersales" accessories:
- I had all four sills laminated - (the official Honda offerings don't cover the most exposed edges!)
- a https://no.co/gb20 jump starter for the 12V battery - (just in case)
- a CTEK CT5 start / stop battery charger/maintainer - (the 12V battery is critical to the car!)
- a Promate 150psi portable air compressor - (it comes with a handy quick-release fastener - the screw-on types are just a pita!)
- an antiskid floormat for the boot - (you might even find one at Lidl)
- two cheap black neoprene computer mouse mats - (depending on your height, the dashboard reflects quite annoyingly in the windscreen)
- a 32 GB SanDisk "Ultra Fit" USB flash-drive for my music - (it is hardly noticable when plugged in - absolutely no chance to accidentally "knock" it!)

otherwise I felt no need to further "enhance" or "embellish" my Jazz (so far) :D  - (it's imho a quite remarkable and well equipped car!)

Addendum:

I forgot the "Auriol" thermo-hygro-meter from Lidl (they sold them in tree-packs) - (I just wanted to know, if the Jazz's climate control is up to the task - "surprise": In the long run it is!)

The EX came with most things as standard (mudflaps/spoiler/door protectors/sill protectors/rear vanity tint/16" alloys/boot tray...
 The only thing I bought was a cargo net that stretches across the back of the rear seats, under the parcel shelf, and a dashcam.
I have a USB for music, and some rubber 'slip mats' that I cut to shape and fitted in the glove boxes, arm rest cupboard and the 'open' nik-nak receptacles... just to stop things vibrating/rattling on the hard plastic.
The only extra I might try, is to have the front grill chrome strip 'blacked'. All the other trim like the spoiler, mirrors and door protectors are in gloss black.. yet that little bit of trim is in chrome. It would look, in my opinion (I photoshopped it) better in gloss black.

Sills protection.

Unfortunately, on Ali they have a max. width of 7 cm everywhere - that means it doesn't go over the edges. It would need about 10 - 12 cm.

Fortunately the business neighboring my Honda dealership is a professional specialising in foil-coating.
So, I had them foil-coat the sills with transparent foil which is hardly noticable (but nevertheless does its job!)

Surely (and I didn't just call you "Shirley!") ;) you will find some professionals outside of China to do the job for you as well!

Addendum:

footnote for younger folks: "Don't call me Shirley" is an absolute classic from the 1979 movie "Airplane!"
just "Google it" (or even better: Watch it!) - in "our time" we found it hilarious - yeah, I know: The many "sins" of youth...) ;)

As I already wrote here, before the FL there was also the option of a light interior. This is no longer possible with the FL.

Dark interior = absorption of sunlight = increased heat. The light interior also looks more luxurious. That's why I solved it at least with covers.

I originally considered these, but since I don't like "leather" mainly because of the breathability, I decided on something really breathable, and made of a natural material (linen).

I was warned by the seller that these are universal and won't fit perfectly in the back, but it turned out quite well. The main purpose is fulfilled - the original upholstery are protected and the interior is lightened.

That's a nice idea to use light-colored seat covers reduce the heating of the cabin from sunlight. I have one concern though... What happens if the center airbag on the side of the driver's seat activates. Will the seat cover rip open to allow the airbag to inflate?

ahavoja: there's a weak stretchy material on the (all) side(s), so it should probably stretch. I haven't really explored it.
This is what the product description says.

------------
Edit: I just asked the seller and got the answer right away: "Friend, the side of the seat is sewn separately and will not affect the deployment of the airbag"

I also used something on the floor to lighten it.

For potential buyers, it is necessary to send the seller details about the car (e.g. Honda Jazz e:HEV, 2024, left-hand drive). But it still doesn't fit 100%. 
For example, there are some (unnecessary) strips around the doors in the front - I cut them off.  Maybe I would choose something else in the future.

But I'm happy with them. They look luxurious, especially in the back.
And they also have another function: noise-absorbing.

I was thinking and came to the conclusion, that it's a matter of taste...
If nothing goes right, go left!

Jazzik: yes, that's true. But so far everyone who saw it LIVE has liked it..  ;)

In my opinion, it's better to have them than not to have them, especially: protection of the original upholstery, interior lighting, as a damping material and looks it good.

For these accessories for my new Jazz, I always prioritize protecting the original materials to minimize wear and tear.

I guess I am in a different league  accessory wise.  Here are mine
1) bag for full sized spare wheel and shows basic boot matting  (about 10 euro a roll - cut to shape)

2) felt bag for odds and ends  ,usually lives on rear floor.  Plus handy gadget for reaching interior windscreen for cleaning without stretching.
   
3) I am not being facetious here. Its  where I keep snacks such as dried mango  while driving.  :P
 Currently a cardboard  container which originally  contained  filled totilla wraps from Aldi.  I would be grateful if anyone can suggest a more suitable permanent or disposable container that would fit  (such as a takeway coffee cup.). It needs to be dark in colour to reduce reflection on the side window and mirror.   :D   
My IQ test came back negative
