Introduction

Every motorist is familiar with the concept of car styling. At the moment, car styling services are very popular - they can ‘remake’ a car taking into account their personal requests. Improvements can be made by enhancing the external appearance of the car along with its technical characteristics. The styling process is interesting and exciting as it can include quite complex changes in the design of the engine, suspension, body and many other features. Annually, car factories produce tens of thousands of and styling always plays an important part, making each car individual. The simplest and most common type of customisation is the exterior trim of the vehicle. There are a huge amount of car accessories; stickers, attachments, moldings, tinting, plastic hinges, spoilers, body kit, backlighting, chrome parts etc. One type of styling is chip-tuning, which modifies the electronic control unit (ECU) of the car. This upgrade allows you to achieve superior performance without any major alterations.

I. EXTERNAL CUSTOMISATION

Aerodynamic body kits

Aerodynamic body kits are made up of linings on the body to improve the appearance and aerodynamic qualities of the car. They work by reducing drag and improving the downforce of the car - which can prevent loss of control on the road. The car becomes more stable at corners, reducing the risk of accidents and making it more efficient. It also becomes faster as it uses less fuel. Redirection of air-flow helps to cool the engine so its durability will increase because overheating affects the wear of parts. Attractive aerodynamic body kits improve the appearance of the car, making it look stylish and sporty. The effect of styling is more noticeable at speeds above 70mph, when turbulent air currents are intensively formed around the vehicle. Body kits will not only drastically improve the appearance of your car and increase aerodynamics, but will turn even the most common type of car into a real masterpiece. Modern body kits are made of durable wear-resistant fibreglass so the weight of the car will not increase and the kits can withstand the enormous pressure of incoming air and the effect of uneven vortices. Fibreglass retains its colour in sunlight and is durable enough to withstand impact.

Mud Screens

Most vehicles have mud screens. These ‘aprons’ provide protection for the bottom and body of your car from dirt, dust, gravel, water and other small particles. Their installation is simple, taking no more than 15 minutes and don’t require special tools. Enhance the safety of your vehicle with mud screens.

All -purpose mud screens

You may be surprised at the amount of options available when thinking about buying mud screens – they are divided into universal and individual:

• The first can be installed on any car, they are usually cheaper, but do not have any special aesthetics and cannot fully cope with their tasks due to a mismatch of the car's features.

All -purpose mud screens

• Individual mud screens are produced for a particular vehicle and you can find the right ones for your vehicle by knowing the make, model, year of manufacture and type of body of the car. They are generally more attractive and functional.

The material that the mud screens are made from can be a deciding factor and the different types are: • Rubber - the most well-known but are gradually going out of circulation. • Plastic - attractive enough, characterised by an increased stiffness and brittleness. • Polyurethane - made from thermoplastic elastomers, which are a modern, good all-rounder. When trying to make your selection, it helps to know what properties they possess - good and bad points to bear in mind are: • The elasticity of the mud screens - ensuring that when they hit a small obstacle, like a curb - they will not break. • The excessive softness – which can cause the wind to deflect the mud screens, meaning they won’t perform effectively. • When operating a car in winter, it is important that mud screens do not lose their qualities at low temperatures.

11

Plastic mud screens

In addition to these criteria, it’s important to consider whether the mud screens fit into the overall design and how closely they fit the wheel arch and body shape. Price is also an important factor in determining which type is chosen.

Protective body kits

Nearly all 4x4s have designs that protect the bumper. These accessories have different names, in the UK they’re called Bull Bars and in Germany - Front Schutz Bugel. They are designated as ‘additional protective devices over the front bumper’ and they are often referred to as body kits, kangurins or yoke. Similar accessories are installed on the back of the car and in this case they can be called rear bumper protection, rear kangurin or body kits. Metal arcs in the form of iron pipes, are installed on the front and rear of the car over the bumpers. There are no typical forms of gratings and requirements for kangurins, they can have different diameters, size and shape, ranging from 40-101mm. The front kangurins can completely cover the bonnet, headlights and wings but can only protect the bumper and the grille, or only the lower part of the

12 bumper. Rear protection usually only covers the bumper. Here are some of the most common options:

The front bumper protection can be one of the following: • A short tube of small diameter (no more than 42mm) running along the bottom edge of the skirt.

Protection of the front bumper (pipe)

• High protection, reaching to the , sometimes has several transverse pipes and brackets for installing fog lamps.

Front bumper protection (high)

13

• Low protection, reaching or missing up to the upper edge of the bumper, sometimes with a lower protection (‘shark’).

Protection of the front bumper ‘shark’ The rear bumper protection can be one of the following: • A straight pipe along the bottom edge of the bumper.

Rear Tube Bumper Protection

14

• A ‘wave’, where the pipe has an upward or downward bend. This design is usually used as it doesn’t cover the number plate or hitch.

Rear Bumper Protection Wave • ‘Corners’ – for protection, include two elements. They’re installed on the edges of the bumper on both sides and sometimes consist of several pipes.

Often, these products are made of stainless steel, but different combinations can be used, for example:

15

• Front protection, which has a steel frame in a shell of polyurethane with inserts of polished aluminum or stainless steel. • Rear protection made of aluminum and usually selected in conjunction with similar thresholds. • Rear protection in polished stainless steel with plastic end caps, sometimes with plastic tread.

Rear Bumper Diffusers

Diffusers began to be installed on racing cars back in the 1980s - the first one appearing on Formula One cars. They were later used on rally cars and cars prepared for drift. Today, the diffuser can be seen on a production car, as one of the elements of customisation. It is attached to the rear of the car, usually under the rear bumper. Diffusers are now made of carbon - the most popular material in styling. The main function of the diffuser is to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the machine. The diffuser has ‘ribs’ (usually three or four), so that the airflow under the car's bottom is redistributed, creating additional pressure and increasing the downforce of the vehicle. In Formula One cars, the design of the diffuser means that in addition to air flows, this body kit uses exhaust gases to reduce the lift of the rear of the car, creating a grounding effect so when the body kit reduces the aerodynamic resistance of the car it has a positive effect on its dynamic qualities.

Diffuser on a Formula One car

By design, the diffusers installed on Formula One cars and cars prepared for drift are different. Drift cars, due to the specifics of the competition, are forced to constantly

16 brake, making the brake pads and disks extremely hot. A diffuser with special sections directs air flows to the pads and suits which cools them down.

Here are the advantages of the diffuser: • An increase in the vehicle's clamping force • A reduction in the lift of the rear of the vehicle • Cooling brake pads and discs for cars participating in drift competitions. There are no real disadvantages to the diffuser.

Front and rear bumper covers

Front and rear bumper covers are a functional element of the external styling for the car. They protect the bottom of the bumper, which usually suffers from scratches, chips, cracks and other damage. The covers are designed by taking into account the individual characteristics of the car, ensuring a perfect fit to the working surface. Many car owners prefer to install a shiny chrome-plated lining with a metallic tint, which allows you to transform the car, giving it originality as well as credibility. The set of linings for the front and rear bumpers include several elements made of stainless steel with a layer of chromium applied. This will increase the hardness and durability of the material whilst also preventing corrosion of parts in a hostile external environment. The overlays are installed independently on the 3M double-sided adhesive tape that is applied to the back of the parts. Before installation, it is necessary to degrease the car's surface then separate the protective film from the tape, fasten the accessory to the intended place and press it down for several minutes. Full adhesion of the lining to the surface occurs after two days, therefore during this period it is not recommended to expose the vehicle to high pressure equipment used in car washing.

18

Radiator grille covers

For the front of the car there is another protective and decorative accessory - a lining on the grille. As a rule, such products are made of chrome-plated steel and are an additional protection for the radiator. But mostly, they are installed for decorative purposes and become an important feature in the design of the exterior of the car.

Thresholds and overlays

One of the common accessories for SUVs are additional thresholds, which are made from various materials (most often steel and aluminum) and can have a variety of configurations, performing three functions:

• They are able to protect the body with a slight impact from the side.

• They’re practical for SUVs as thresholds can be very useful as a ‘step’, making it more convenient to land in the car or load things into the boot box.

• They’re decorative as the thresholds complement the appearance of the car and give it a more aggressive look, characteristic of SUVs.

These accessories can completely replace the standard thresholds or complement them, with the most common type - a steel pipe equipped with end caps from different materials (plastic, stainless steel, polished or welded).

Other variants of thresholds:

• A steel pipe with a sheet (steel or aluminum) molded in the form of an anti-slip profile and serving as a full support.

Thresholds with a leaf

21

• A steel pipe with a tear and plastic pad.

Thresholds with outrages

• Aluminum profile of different lengths, sometimes covered with rubber-plastic to prevent slipping and decorated with polished stainless steel and plastic plugs.

Sometimes car owners do not want to change the regular thresholds and consider it inappropriate to install additional external models. In this case manufacturers offer special covers (threshold protection) that can be made of different materials:

• Plastic, which is the cheapest and least durable option.

22

Plastic sill plates

• Stainless steel, which is used most often and chrome plated.

Stainless steel sill plates

• Anodised aluminum alloy.

The main function of the lining is to protect the regular thresholds from mechanical influences (pebbles, heels and accidental shocks), premature wear and exposure to dirt and moisture. In addition, these elements improve the appearance of the car. Depending on which of the two functions prevail, either reliable steel or a beautiful aluminum or plastic model are viable options.

23

Bonnet deflector

The bonnet deflector is mounted on the front of the bonnet, replicating its shape. The main purpose of this product is to protect the area it covers, as well as the ‘aerodynamic shadow’ (the area immediately behind it). Dangers to the car bonnet can include the risk of impact by small stones and sand.

Bonnet deflector

The so-called ‘sandblasting effect’ can lead to paint damage and the formation of scratches and chips because that part of the hood that is exposed to similar impacts the drivers seek to protect with this accessory. Studies show that when stones hit the deflector, they bounce off without damaging the car. Another important function of this product is the protection of the bonnet from road dust and insects. There is a good reason why the bonnet deflector is called ‘fly swatter’ and its special shape directs the counter-flow of air upwards, deflecting everything away. Finally, many motorists install bonnet deflectors believing that they add aesthetic lines to the appearance of the car, complementing its image.

24

Bonnet deflector for Toyota Corolla

Installation of the deflector on the bonnet takes several minutes, without the need for drilling the bonnet and does not require special care, thanks to its smooth surface and high-quality modern materials. The bumper is equipped with all the necessary fasteners, developed by specialist manufacturing companies specifically for the make and model of car. For installation, only a crosshead screwdriver is needed. During installation the hood deflector should be fixed at a point where it does not interfere with the flow of water. The bonnet deflector should not retain moisture, dirt and fine sand, which are easily removed by the water jet during car washing. More details about the installation for each specific car can be found in the manual.

Window deflectors

The most common type of deflectors are installed on windows, mainly on side windows. Depending on the location, these deflectors have their own functions and their own names. Products installed on the side windows are called ‘door deflectors’ or ‘wind- blasters’.

25

Window deflectors They perform several functions:

• To protect the windows from falling stones and from other flying debris.

• To reduce the build-up of dirt on windows, ensuring better visibility;

• To provide natural air flow and circulation, preventing fogging and vaporisation at high humidity. By using deflectors, you can safely open the window even in rain or snow.

Deflectors installed on the rear window are referred to as ‘deflectors clean glass’ because they create an airflow which blows dust from the glass that comes from under the wheels. This ensures better visibility and ensures a safer driving experience. In some cases, they can protect additional stop lamps from sun glare.

Rear window deflector

The deflector of the rear window minimises the ingress of dirt onto the glass, changing the direction of the flow of the incoming air. Cars that have additional brake lights at the top of the tailgate, have the added advantage of the spoiler shading them, protecting them from glare and making them more visible on the road.

Spoiler on the rear window

The Rialto offers a large selection of rear deflectors, which differ in material - carbon, polycarbonate, acrylic plastic, and shape. Their thickness can vary from 2 to 5mm and the shade can be chosen for the colour of the body, but usually black spoilers are popular. Some models are equipped with built-in additional stoplights in white or red. When choosing spoilers of any type, it is important to buy only those models that are suitable for the car to which they are to be installed. This ensures that the deflector can easily be fixed in place and cope with its functions. In addition, like all deflectors, the rear spoilers also perform a purely decorative function, making the car more ‘sporty’. With their help you can add a little aggressiveness or emphasise the individuality in the appearance of the car.

27

Hatch deflector

The hatch deflector has a streamlined shape and is mounted on the roof of the car in front of the hatch.

Hatch deflector on the car

This accessory performs a number of functions:

• It reduces turbulence in the cabin with an open hatch and improves ventilation.

• It reduces noise levels.

• Due to its streamlined form, the counter-flow of air is directed upwards, and along with it - dust and dirt, which otherwise would fall into the cabin.

• The aerodynamic shadow above the hatch allows you to open it even in rain.

28

Deflectors are a necessity for vehicles with a sliding type hatch because they’re convenient for allowing the use of an ‘upper boot’. However, because of the design features it does not protect the interior from wind, dust and precipitation. Deflectors come in different colours but are usually black or gray. Some models reflect light, others are limitedly transparent. The thickness of the product varies from 2 to 5mm. The hatch deflectors can be universal - suitable for any car, or individual to each model of car. If the design of your vehicle needs a regular deflector, it is better to choose the original model.

Buying this accessory, you need to make sure that the kit contains installation instructions and all the elements provided in it. These can be clips, sealing gums, 3M adhesive tape, (which is already pasted on the deflector). It is better if the product is wrapped with shrink film that will protect it from damage during transportation.

Hitch for the boot

There are different names for this device – ‘Hitch for the boot’, ‘CargoBox’ or ‘TowBox’

Installed box

30

This additional equipment for the car is a special stand-alone technical device, attached to the tow bar and intended for the transport of various goods. With its help you can carry oversized things like bicycles, pushchairs, sleds, wheelchairs, various types of luggage and even pets.

Box for animal transportation

The hitch is based on a cargo platform, which is attached to the tow bar, and can be equipped with additional devices such as boxes, baskets or structures for fixing bicycles. You can buy all of the elements separately but the main thing is that they fit together and you can immediately purchase a complex, for example, a platform + box or platform + basket. A boot of this type is attached to the ball of the tow bar and it is perfectly suited for the bulk of the currently used tow bar models. However, due to some installation features, the can be uneven, so if you install the tow bar specifically for the boot, it is advisable to check which model is best.

The process of installing the boot takes seconds and does not require any skills or help from another person. Most models have folding wheels, which provide an even greater convenience when installing the box on the ball of the tow bar. To ensure protection from theft, the trunks are provided with a lock that fixes the connection to the tow bar, preventing it from being removed. It is worth noting that TowBox luggage boots have

31 three variants of the design position: the first allows the use of a locking mechanism and is recommended for parking; the second provides a minimum distance to the car and is used while driving; the third one, which is hinged, makes gaining access to the luggage compartment of the car easy.

Folding box

The boot system is equipped with electrical wiring that has an adapter compatible with European standards. Behind the boot are all the necessary optics, including fog lights. The luggage compartment is protected from a counter flow of air, so aerodynamic noise and fuel consumption are kept at a minimum. In addition, it does not increase the height of the car. When buying a hitch for the boot, car owners compare it with a trailer as they have some similarities as well as differences:

• The boot has a smaller capacity. You can’t put large objects in the boot while larger objects can be transported in the trailer.

• The boot does not require registration and inspection.

•The boot does not affect the management of the vehicle (except, perhaps, the parking process), whereas driving a car that tows a trailer requires some special skills;

• The boot does not affect the speed of the vehicle, unlike the trailer.

32

Car Box

The presence of a luggage carrier on the roof of the car significantly increases the functionality of the vehicle and allows you to transport many types of cargo in a much more convenient and comfortable way. CarBox has an aerodynamic shape and is attached to the boot for the transportation of goods, freeing up space in the cabin.

The main reasons why car owners prefer to use boxes are:

• They are convenient for folding bags and small things that are difficult to fix on the boot without box. • It is possible to add things that, when fastened on the boot, would be deformed due to a counter-flow of air. •They have a streamlined shape, creating minimal resistance. • The box protects items from rain. • The box can be locked, protecting items from theft. Car boxes are very convenient for transporting cargo, making them a necessity for any car owner.

33

Box installed on auto box

There are a wide variety of car boxes available and the dimensions and capacity of the boxes can vary. The capacity of most boxes can be anywhere from 370-620l, the length is usually from 135-232cm. The width is from 65-95cm and the carrying capacity is from 50-100 kg. Extended models can be positioned as boxes for skis, but they can also be used for other cargo. The boxes are usually made from plastic and higher end products are made from frost-resistant plastic. This material tolerates colder climates far better and does not become excessively brittle under the influence of low temperatures or precipitation. There are some key differences with some boxes, for example, the opening mechanism. Some boxes allow you to open the lid from either side - the location of the fasteners is more convenient if they are inside the box. There are also different colours, but they are usually black, gray or silver.

34

One-sided opening of the box

Two-way opening of the box

35

The boxes are divided into economy and premium types. Each manufacturer uses its own criteria for the classification of its products. For example, Mont Blanc boxes have the following differences:

• Products in the premium category have gas stops and economical models use metal or plastic levers to open and close the lid.

• Premium boxes have a central locking system that does not allow you to remove the key if the lock is not open.

• Economy boxes are fixed with a U-shaped bracket and are designed only for steel trunk racks. Premium boxes are suitable for any type of luggage compartment and are equipped with the most convenient fastening system that eases their installation.

Headlamps protection

There are several different styles and designs of protection headlights, allowing a greater choice for consumers.

36

Types of headlight protection

The materials used for the headlights include; thermoformed plastic, organic glass and polycarbonate and the thickness is usually 3mm. Vacuum molding is used for the production of headlights. covers have different degrees of transparency and their colour is heterogeneous so they can be completely transparent except for the black and silver border along the edge of the headlight. They can also have transparent areas where part of the enclosed space is darkened, or have additional toned overlays. This design means that the darkened areas do not interfere with the light of the optics. Before buying headlamp protection the main thing is to find a model that is compatible with your car. Even if they are suitable for a car that is similar to the exterior of yours - the accessories designed for it may not completely match the features of the body or headlights of your vehicle, which won’t fit properly.

Installed headlamps protection

In addition, when you are buying headlamp protection it is important to make sure that it includes all the necessary elements. Brand models are normally equipped with installation instructions. In addition to the protection itself, plastic brackets and silicone dampers that line in-between the headlamp and the protection, and shrink film that protects the products from damage during transportation.

37

Crankcase protection

The protection of the engine compartment and transmission elements (‘crankcase protection’) is widely represented on the market today, manufacturers are making these products from various materials – both traditional and modern, but the traditional metal models that have been in use for nearly 10 years are more popular. Metal crankcase protection can be made of steel (including stainless), aluminum and titanium. In this case, each type of metal crankcase protection has its advantages and disadvantages. Metal crankcase protection is predominately made from steel because of the affordability and quality it offers.

Steel crankcase protection

38

To protect the crankcase GRP, carbon fibre (carbon) and kevlar (a material based on para-aramid fibre) are used. These products have a lot of advantages, but the complexity of production of composite materials makes them more expensive. Fibreglass alternatives are very popular as they are often cheaper than other materials.

Kevlar crankcase protection

39

Crankcase protection from fiberglass

Carbon crankcase protection

40

There are basic criteria for choosing the protection of the crankcase:

Stiffness and strength

For cars used in urban conditions, the rigidity of protection from a steel sheet 2mm thick is sufficient and for machines used in difficult conditions, we offer a steel protection 3mm. To achieve similar rigidity, aluminum protection is made 5mm thick. Products made of composite materials generally have a thickness of 5mm and have approximately the same level of rigidity and strength as steel (it should be noted that steel beats fibreglass in terms of strength).

Elasticity

Metal protection during impact becomes deformed. For steel products from a sheet thickness of 2mm, this is irrelevant, since they can easily be straightened but for 3mm protection it becomes more difficult. In order to carry out these repairs it is necessary to remove the protection, and this is a laborious process. Products made from composite materials are elastic and do not deform at standard impacts - restoring its shape.

The weight

As a rule, steel protection with a thickness of 2mm weighs between 8-12kg, but the weight of the metal protection can reach up to 15kg. Composite materials make it possible to create a fairly easy protection (up to 4kg), while the lower weight in this group of products has a protection from carbon and the larger, from fibreglass.

Resistance to aggressive influences

Steel protection under the influence of moisture becomes corroded and a similar problem can be seen in aluminum protection at the attachment points as it is deprived of stainless steel products and expensive titanium. Composite materials are not susceptible to corrosion - they are easily tolerated by both moisture and contact with chemical reagents

Noises

Often, when parts of the metal work vibrate against each other, for example when the engine is running, can cause a buzzing, rattling or knocking. This can occur regularly or

41 only at certain engine speeds. Composite protection does not resonate and does not create extraneous noise.

Decrease clearance In many cases, metal protection reduces ground clearance, adversely affecting the car's patency. Composite protection, as a rule, does not decrease ground clearance.

The crankcase protection decreases the ground clearance about 2cm

Influence on temperature

If the crankcase protection, whether fibreglass or steel, is suitable for the car and has all the necessary ventilation holes - it will not damage the engine. The thermal conductivity of the materials used is important – for example, steel has four times less conductivity than aluminum but still dissipates heat better than composite materials that are close in properties to heat insulators.

Safety in exploitation

42

For safety reasons, manufacturers make sure the engine will go down in a frontal collision. Metal protection can prevent the engine from moving, preventing further danger. Protection from composite materials with a strong impact bursts, and does not interfere with the maintenance of the engine. But it can create another danger - with the admission of errors in production technology, it is possible to obtain protection from composite materials that can release harmful chemical compounds when heated.

Value

The lowest value is protected from steel, then aluminum, up to the most expensive metal - titanium. The complexity of manufacturing products based on composite materials increases the cost of finished products, so the price of such protection is relatively high. The most accessible is the protection of fibreglass and the most expensive is from the helm. Manufacturers who may want to keep costs low might use fibreglass, but this affects the strength of the finished product.

II. CABIN CUSTOMISATION

Interior lighting

We present the most popular multi-colour illumination of the car in the UK. Solid, ultra- bright and vibrant colours of this illumination will give your car a unique look. Such saturated colours are created thanks to a smart chip that uses 3 LEDs in its work. The set includes 4 flexible, ultra-light LED strips that are installed on a double-sided heat- resistant tape of high quality, allowing them to be mounted on any flat surface. The kit already includes all the necessary wires and a controller of a minimum size that is easy to hide in the cabin of even the smallest car. A remote with four buttons allows you to control: - Modes - Speed - Colour - Backlight

44

Styling the car interior using different types of lighting are possible, for example - neon lighting is elegant and beautiful.

Car carpets

High demand for car mats means manufacturers have developed products that meet the needs of a wide variety of customers and there are many things to take into account when deciding which ones to purchase:

• Wear resistance and low-quality mats won’t last, so many manufacturers reinforce those places with rugs that are more hardwearing.

45

• The durability of products, as they need to provide resistance to moisture, petrol, detergents and the effects of chemical reagents, which are used on the roads and transferred onto shoes.

Rubber mats do not allow dirt and moisture to pass through

• The elasticity and softness of the mats, as well as their special shape, allow them to match the features of the car floor and easily recover after deformations.

• The presence of the rims allows moisture to accumulate without seeping under the mats.

• Taking into account the climatic features of our country, it is essential that the mats do not harden, become brittle or soften at low and high temperatures.

• Mats should not slide.

46

• Mats should not emit unpleasant smells or harmful substances.

• The appearance, design and style of the mats are an important factor.

Beige car carpets

47

Manufacturers develop and create a variety of models of mats, using traditional and modern materials for this:

• Rubber mats that have elasticity and strength, but also a susceptibility to temperatures, are now compared with more modern materials.

Rubber Mats

• Polyurethane mats (made of thermoplastic elastomers) are resistant to a wide range of influences, including low and high temperatures, making them both durable and popular.

48

Polyurethane mats

• Textile mats are aesthetically pleasing and are made from rubber, gel, polyurethane foam or combinations of these materials as the base.

49

It is also worth noting that manufacturers offer universal mats that are suitable for most cars, and model ones that are created individually for certain vehicles. The features and fastening systems are taken into account, allowing the mats to replicate the geometry of the floor, whilst covering and protecting as much as possible.

Universal mats

In order to keep the interior of the car and luggage compartment clean, polyurethane mats, made from a polymer material are ideal. They have increased resistance to oil products, acids and other aggressive chemicals - providing reliable protection of the luggage compartment from moisture, dust and dirt. In addition, car mats in the boot are reliable and durable. Using ordinary detergents, you can quickly clean the surface of the mat from dirt, and increasing wear resistance of such a product will ensure that it serves you longer. Rain, snow, frost and high temperatures will not have any effect on the mats in the boot.

Windshield Projector

The windshield projector (or HUD-projector) is a unique system that imitates the driver's readings for speed, engine speed, navigator tips, etc.

The abbreviation HUD (Head-Up Display) means ‘display of the raised head’. Therefore projectors on the windshield are also called HUD projectors. The device is a super- bright LED display, which is located in front of the driver, above the dashboard. It forms an image with the readings of the instruments and projects the picture onto a special film that is glued to the windshield.

62

Depending on the model, the number and nature of the projected parameters (speed, engine speed, voltage in the system, temperature in the cooling system, etc.) can vary along with the connection features. The HUD projector can be connected to the on- board network, taking readings from standard instruments. The device can also be connected via the cigarette lighter and takes readings from the sensors included in the kit.

Imagine driving at a speed of 30mph, the car travels 16 metres per second and that is the same amount of time that the driver takes to look from the road to the dashboard and back. All the while, the reaction rate decreases but thanks to the projection on the windshield of the car; you do not get distracted by having to constantly lower your head in order to monitor the readings of the devices.

63

As all of the important indicators of your car are in your field of vision, the projection on the windshield is not only convenient, but practical. The speedometer projector reduces the risk of emergencies, thereby increasing your safety when driving, especially at high speed. Projectors on the windshield have many noticeable advantages (depending on the model):

• Sound or colour signaling - you set a limit for any value. As soon as that level has increased, the system will warn you about it. • Light sensor - depending on the lighting and weather conditions, the brightness of the image will adjust automatically.

• Some models have a built-in GPS receiver, so they know how to locate and transmit co-ordinates to any compatible device via the Bluetooth channel.

• Ability to adjust warning levels.

III. STYLING

Covers for door handles

Chrome accessories are used for door handles and decorative design of other car body parts. The overlays also perform a protective function, preventing minor scratches and similar damages on the handle surface during the operation of the vehicle. External styling with the door handles is a simple and affordable way to improve the aesthetic qualities of the car, giving it individuality. Car owners wishing to update the exterior of their vehicle can use chrome-plated cover plates to decorate the door handles. Finishing the handles with chrome elements will emphasise the style and elegance of the vehicle, giving it an original look and distinguishing it from a number of similar models. Cover plates for door handles come in various designs, corresponding to the outline of base handles of certain models of cars. Accessories can have the necessary holes, keyholes or mates for two keys. There are also sets for the design of door handles, holes or handles of the ascending rear door. Chrome-plated lining is made using shock-resistant and durable ABS plastic. A dark or light chrome coating, consisting of two layers of chromium, protect and provide a depth of colour. Decorative pads offer natural shine and resistance to chips. The size and shape of the handles for the covers depend on the make and model of the car but each type should fit perfectly. The installation of accessories is not difficult and is done by gluing the overlays on the double-sided high-strength 3m scotch that is included in the delivery. The preparation for installation consists of cleaning the surface of the handles and degreasing the installation sites with standard detergents.

65

Chrome lining on the door

Moldings are among the most common elements of external car customisation. Accessories are made in the form of small convex slats for decorating the car. Door plates also serve to mask various defects, zoning the car and protecting the surfaces from scratches, chips, cracks and other damages. Many car owners prefer to install shiny chrome plated linings with a metallic tint, which allows you to transform the car externally, giving it originality and respectability. Molding of auto doors fits seamlessly into the overall concept of vehicle design, updates the look of the car and unobtrusively emphasises its dynamism, without making it harder for the exterior. A kit of door linings includes several elements made of ABS plastic with a layer of chromium applied, which increases the hardness and durability of the material, preventing corrosion of parts in an aggressive external environment. Moldings are easily installed by fixing on the surface of the side doors onto the 3M double-sided adhesive tape that is applied to the back of the parts. Before installation, it is necessary to degrease the surface of the car, separate the protective tape of the adhesive tape, fasten the accessory to the intended place of the side window and press it down for several minutes. Full adhesion of the lining to the surface occurs after a couple of days, therefore during this period it is not recommended to expose the vehicle to high pressure equipment used in car washing.

66

Chrome lining for windows

The installation of moldings prevents contamination, icing and fogging of windows and provides a good view of the road in any external environment. They also protect the windows, the door trim and the interior from splashes and drops of rainwater. The side windows can be customised according to the customer’s own preferences. The kit of linings for side windows includes several elements made of stainless steel with a deposited layer of chromium. This increases the hardness and durability of the material, preventing corrosion of parts in an aggressive external environment. Chrome-plated cover plates are easily installed by fastening them to the side door frames on the 3m double-sided adhesive tape that is applied to the back of the parts. Before installation, it is necessary to degrease the surface of the car; separate the protective tape of the adhesive tape; fasten the accessory to the intended place of the side window and press it down for several minutes. Full adhesion of the lining to the surface occurs after two days, therefore during this period it is not recommended to expose the vehicle to high pressure equipment used in car washing.

67

Chrome lining for front and rear lights

Installation of the lining for the headlights is popular among motorists considering external styling of their car. Stylish and reliable accessories not only serve as original decorative design elements, but also perform a protective function, effectively preventing contamination of optical elements and mechanical damage to the surfaces of headlights. The kit of linings for installation on front and rear lights includes a set of two elements made of a monolithic waterproof ABS plastic with a chromium-based coating. The material is strong, durable and heat resistant – it’s also resistant to impact loads, alkali, fats, lubricating oils, gasoline, salt solutions and inorganic acids. The lining does not corrode when it gets wet and is able to protect the car optics from dust, dirt, precipitation and stones. The headlamp covers correspond to the features of the body relief, which ensures an accurate fit to the bends of the surface. High quality accessories prevent the turbidity of the glass and can significantly extend the life-span of the optical devices of the car.

Customisation headlamps can change shape and improve the optical characteristics of installed headlights. Accessories for the design of lanterns differ in design, style, materials and colour options. The original appearance of the lining on the headlights distinguishes the car and gives the vehicle an individual and memorable look. Stylish chrome linings are able to successfully supplement the chrome-pack of the front of the car. Installation of overlays is carried out over the car lanterns using a 3M double-sided tape included in the kit. The installation of accessories does not require special tools and can be carried out by the owner of the car, without the need to refer to the professionals.

68

Chrome Lining for Mirrors

The use of overlays for mirrors gives the car an original and presentable appearance, distinguishing it from the general flow of transport. In addition, the smooth bends of the linings increase streamlining and improve the aerodynamic qualities of the car. Stylish and elegant accessories effectively protect the rear-view mirrors from dust, moisture, snow and ice. When travelling in conditions of rain or snow, the working surfaces of the rear-view mirrors are constantly exposed to adverse effects and can become highly contaminated. An effective solution to the problem is the use of a special deflector for the side mirrors. The visor formed by the overlay contributes to the appearance of a turbulent aerodynamic effect, which ensures the cleaning of mirrors when the car moves.

Covers for the protection of rear-view mirrors can offer resistance against vibrations and mechanical strength. They are mounted on regular positions instead of base covers and can be equipped with LED inserts in the form of sealed LED blocks. The use of chromium-plated ABS plastic in the manufacture of linings ensures the reliability and

durability of the installed visors. The deflectors on the mirrors retain their elasticity and high quality in the conditions of temperature fluctuations; therefore they are suitable for use throughout the whole year. The chrome lining does not fade during operation and is not subject to burnout. Two overlays for mirrors are included and installation of the

69 deflectors is done using the 3M double-sided adhesive tape included in the kit. Car owners can install them on the mirror body of any type with minimal effort.

Covers for fog lights

Fronts for fog lamps with a layer of chrome coating are an effective and decorative exterior finish of the car and match other chrome accessories. In addition, the fog lamp covers protect the installed optics from dust, dirt and mechanical influences. The fog lamp covers are made of strong ABS plastic with a triple chrome finish. Original accessories are hard-wearing, providing protection to the front and rear fog lamps. The set of covers consists of two elements for the edging of the headlights and includes all the components necessary for installation on the car. Fastening of overlays on regular headlights is made easy with high-quality, double- sided tape 3М which are included in the delivery set. Each accessory consists of a ring-shaped lining and a plastic plate for attaching to the surface of the car. For installation purposes, the rear side of the cover goes in the socket instead of the standard plate. External styling with the added edge of optical elements makes the car look distinctive. Cover plates with chrome-plated coatings are a distinct element of the finish on the optics and the car overall. A bright accessory will fit perfectly into the overall design of the exterior, effectively highlighting the fog lights. The stylish chrome linings are able to emphasise the original appearance of the car and can be used as an excellent addition to previously installed chrome exterior part.

IV. OPTICS AND LIGHTING STYLING

Running lights

Installation of super-bright daytime running lights called stroboscopes, will totally transform your car. Vehicle stroboscopes, unlike other car lights can be used in the daytime and they consume less than two halogen lamps together. The durability of LED daytime running lights is more than 20,000 hours, while halogen lamps have 350 hours of continuous operation and 3,000-4,000 hours of xenon operation.

Daytime running lights are equipped with LED modules of a new generation. They have a universal design that improves the appearance of the car and making it safer to drive in the daytime. The navigation lights of this model, as a rule, have a signal repeater.

74

Angelic eyes

Angelic eyes are a special decoration for each car, making it aesthetically pleasing to the owner of the car as well as onlookers. It is a neon ring designed specifically for your car that emphasises the shape of the headlights. Initially, these rings were LED but they had a lot of negative points, such as dim glow and glow points; but now we can offer you high-quality gas discharge rings based on CCFL technology. Angelic eyes not only look fantastic, but are a practical application as well. They are predominately used by our customers as daytime running lights. Thanks to their strong radiance, the car can be seen from afar, in conditions of poor visibility that may prevent accidents. It’s also worth noting that they have low electricity consumption.

You can install angelic eyes on the car yourself but if you are unsure - any body shop will help you with this. It’s important that you install products of good quality, as any inferior products can damage the electronics. Under improper conditions (for example, in a garage) it can be very difficult to conduct isolation works and so care must be taken not to short-circuit the lights. The installation of angel eyes could take about 3 hours, but you can use a car service centre, which will halve the time.

75

Bi-xenon lenses

Halogen and conventional vehicle lamps used in headlights have a lot of flaws compared to modern ones, especially their energy inefficiency. With such an excessive amount of energy consumed (which incidentally affects the consumption of fuel) they give a weak, dim light. At the same time, all these lamps have a very short service life.

The solution to this is bi-xenon lenses, the principle of which is very simple. This is a special device with inside mechanical elements and only one lamp is used for distant and passing light.

Lighting of the bottom

The illumination of the bottom of the car is one of the most impressive elements of styling. A bright highlight under the bottom of your car will attract the looks of passers-by and will ensure you and your car are the centre of attention. We represent the most popular multicolor illumination of the bottom of the car in the UK. Solid ultra-bright and vibrant colours of this illumination will give your car a unique look. Such saturated colours are created thanks to a smart chip that uses 3 LEDs. The set includes 4 flexible, ultra-light LED strips attached using double-sided adhesive tape or plastic clips to any surface. The kit already includes all the necessary wires and a controller of a minimum size that is easy to hide in the cabin of even the smallest car. A remote with 4 buttons allows you to control: - Modes - Speed - Colour - The backlight
