subject: Accessorising Your Car [print this page] When you buy a car, its unlikely youre just buying it for the practicality; many people find it important to customise their cars, injecting their own personality through the use of accessories. So what are the best ways to accessorise your car?
Car mats are available to buy cheaply for the more basic designs, or if you really want to impress, choose branded mats from the car designers. After all, no BMW is complete without special BMW car mats.
Dice hanging from the interior mirror are now so retro that theyre back in fashion again. Choose from a range of colours for a truly classic look. Dont forget also how enticing a good quality car freshener can be; theyre available to buy in a range of smells, from fruity and sweet to more natural outdoorsy scents. If you spend a lot of time in your car, you want it to smell nice.
Portable DVD players are great for when you go on long drives and you need to keep your kids entertained. To avoid the endless are we nearly there yet? moans from the back of the car, install a portable DVD player and keep your children happy and quiet for the entire journey.
Satellite navigation systems are great for those prone to getting lost. Whether you find it hard to read a map (who doesnt whilst theyre driving?) or get a little nervous driving to new places, sat navs will guide you throughout your journey from A to B. Just be careful you dont rely on them a little too much. At the end of the day, they are computer systems; theyre not programmed to pick up on every hazard likely to cross your path. If using an older system, it may not be up-to-date with the latest changes to the road, so always make sure you check that there isnt a brand new roundabout where the old traffic lights used to be, or youll be circling forever.
Personalised number plates make fab birthday presents; the driver will feel extra special whenever they drive their car; perfect for car lovers everywhere.
When it comes to accessorising, remember that youre showing others a glimpse of your personality. If you love bright colours and your car is a neutral shade of boring, adding brightly coloured accessories will help to brighten it up and keep a smile on your face. Accessorising doesnt have to be expensive either, so you can pimp your ride for a minimal cost.
