Auris decorations

[tavy]

Hi guys. 

These days I received some items ordered few weeks ago, very nice, effective, at a good price. 

The most I like is dash clock: 

 

Then, very useful is a 2 amps built in USB charger with voltmeter:

 

I found some nice covers for door latches:

 

...and not in the last I changed the badges of key fobs:

 

Feel free guys, to add here in this topic pics with your Auris decorations. Thank you.

Where did you get your front bumper garnish from, tavy? Really want one for mine.

Is the clock covering up your CD slot or can it be moved? Th door latch covers look tidy.

[tavy]

Front bumper garnish is made by myself with a liquid PVC spray, I only used some fine sandpaper, clean well and spray. 

 

The clock covers CD slot, but is removable in case of using CD, but this tbh is happening rarely even memory stick I use rarely, usually listen music from net via bluetooth. 

I like too latch covers, without them looks unfinished.

Tempted to try spraying it myself now, was it Plasticote or similar that you used? The TRD garnishes are prohibitively expensive and only seem to be available in Japan.

If I remember well, used Teroson SB 3140 or 3120. 

You can make the garnish using a sheet of carbon fiber vinyl wrap.

What part did you buy to fit under the dash? I bought something similar but it didn't fit flush like yours.

[tavy]

This one : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000935728283.html

That USB is for charging only?

Can I extend to it a USB cable from my navigation?

I also bought 2 from the internet but they do not come flushed to the dash ... but I would like to have them connected to car navigation.

Thank you.

 

[tavy]

Yes, it's for charging only. You can extend navigation USB with a cable like this, of course : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32844262952.html , but the charging process will take long, because this USB gives maximum 1 amp.

For music, USB and AUX is another one next to charger, made by myself.

[amwjujo]

I was after a double one: 

1 x USB connected to the navigation unit.

1 x USB connected t0o the fuse box for fast charging. 

I already bought one but it was not the right size.

From what I can see from your previous post it has to be 40x23x33 mm to fit an Auris dash.

This seems ok but it's a bit pricey

I'll look after one - any suggestions are welcome as usual 😁

[tavy]

Yes, these are the correct dimensions 22...23 x 32...34 mm, depth doesn't matter. That one from Amazon is very pricey.

This is something similar, but cheaper : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000009091972.html

Or, you can buy one to replace cigarette lighter with : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001430681536.html

Are the door latches the same size for 3 doors cars or I need to order some other size.

I just had a look and the door latches on my car - 3 door - are quite big.

[tavy]

Happy New Year to everyone !

[tavy]

It's the same, for sure. There are only 2 size / shape for Auris : this one and another which has diamond shape. I bet yours is same as mine.

[tavy]

Cover dimensions are 50 x 70 mm approx.

Happy New year everyone!

I love the idea of this. I’m going to research what I could do for my Corolla!

[AKLZ]

Anyone bought anything like this for their keys? I have my door key attached to mine, and when going in and out of the Faraday pouch, it is starting to scratch the nice sleek fob (one of the better car key fobs out there, IMHO).

 

[tavy]

I ordered 2 for my keys, but still didn't come. I hope it won't be any problem and fit perfectly.

aliexpress is fine as long as you dont encounter any issues

i purchased 2 tablet screens that didnt work it took me

2 months to get my money back aliexpress customer services

where shockingly bad in trying to help you

[tavy]

From this kind of sites I buy things under 10 euros, for not going to customs post office for getting the parcel, filling forms and paying taxes, that are not so big but is a nasty procedure. Parcels under 10 euros came to my door, directly. No problem with parcels till now, excepting delivery time, sometimes more than 3 months, usually one and a half month.

[tavy]

Today has arrived some key fob accessories.

The cover is made by polyurethane, scratch resistant. 

[tavy]

Hi, 

yesterday came some stickers and emblems, so I put them on the car.

[tavy]

Shark fin antenna, is applied over the base of old one. It works well but colour does not match perfectly...

The paint of front bumper garnish resists after several years, I have only apply some plastic restorator liquid sometimes.
