Just ordered the Premium (white) variant, can't wait to get my hands on it hehe!

SA recommended "2022" batch and could take up to 6 months from now, so expect to get it around March 2022.

What are the mods / coating / accessories would you guys recommend?

Thanks for your list! totally forgotten about dash cam and door guard as I've never used them before haha!

I've been reading mixed reviews about coating, some say not necessary for new car, some say need to care more to maintain it

Also have some idea to spend a little bit on some stuffs like
- getting the geely S spoiler
- wax/coating of the white lamp covers (not sure what is the right word)

Not gonna change anything major like sport rim etc. but im thinking about 4-5 k to make it sharper/neater

Also, not sure if you guys have any reference to White cars with added accessories/different sticker/decal on it, would like to see some reference too!

I see, thank you so much for your explanation, I suppose I'll just stick to a monthly/bi-monthly car wash with wax (I don't really like to spend too much effort on a car either).

I was watching a X50 modded with sticker yesterday and the owner did say that if there's any accident/bump, the sticker might chip out the original paint altogether (not surprising considering any accidents would do the same), but the thought of having to go back to do sticker guy to touch up again is...(im too lazy for that!)

Re the door guard, I saw a similar one (chrome colour), will definitely get one of those as it doesn't stick out as much as the normal rubber-tube looking door guard haha!

yup you have a point, personally don't really care much about the resale value, more like its personal OCD and satisfaction haha!

I'd probably just go for tint + ppf for starters, will see! Long way to go before I get my hands on the car!

Placed my booking last Sunday haha!

The 2021 X50 premium variant that I test drive was pretty quiet, couldn't even notice any wind noise even at 130 km/h (even my friends in the car couldn't notice it).

Hopefully that was fixed! (I also finally understood why many complaint about the driver side mirror, it is indeed, about 10-15% shy of the optimum viewing angle for me)

Thanks for this! You got all of them from local accessory stores or online (Shopee/Lazada)?

By the way, does the local accessory stores (say like Brothers) have a lot of accessory variety for X50? or not much yet?

Will keep that in mind for the key fob!

How many % TSER is your tint? (correct me if im wrong but JPJ limit is 80%? but realistically what is the "optimum" TSER that won't trigger abang polis kacau? )

I've been seeing a lot of good reviews on the 3M Crystalline, though I've never physically seen any of it before yet.

Until today still stuck in the dilemma of Flagship vs Premium

Premium has everything that I want - except for:
(1) Dual tone colour - understand that the black roof can be achieved with a roof wrap (really digging the White + black roof combo!)
(2) Blind spot camera - never used one before but seems useful - is it really the case?
(3) ADAS - not so much for autonomous cruise, but for the near-collision warning and auto-brake feature (or at least speed reduction before manual intervention kicks in)
(4) Direct Injection (versus MPI engine) - understand that it can give more Torque + acceleration, but does it come at a cost of shorter lifespan/higher maintenance?

Some considerations/worries for getting the Flagship:
1. More parts (sunroof, ADAS system etc.) - technically would equate to more maintenance required in the long run, but if my plan is to sell before 7 years - i shouldn't have anything to worry right?
2. Sunroof water leaking - SA told me some of his clients that constantly park under the sun faced this issue, though almost 100% of the time I park under basement, I guess not an issue too?
3. Longer waiting time - not that this matters, but SA says Flagship will be slower than Premium, not sure by how much

I am leaning towards Flagship at the moment, but appreciate if anyone has any opinion/comment on their (or friends') experience with Flagship so far, thanks!

Slightly out of topic but which mat look/fit/feel better?

Dodomat or Trapomat?

Thanks

Interested to know too. I might be going their physical store this weekend to get a closer look at them!

Thanks for sharing! I might just consider these for rear passengers, will see how hehe

I'm using one and can actually attest to its comfort.

Just doing some survey on "premium" mat and stumble upon these 2 haha, so i wonder how much difference can they make

Haha true also, though from using maggie mat for the past 5-6 years, I never noticed its presence eh (maybe coz its grey and conceal itself with the dark gray floor)

Anyways i will go Trapo physical branch look-see-touch-see xD see whats the hype all about haha!

Got my new white FS yesterday.

Tyre pressure at ~290 kPa, understand this is standard for the stocks, should i continue using or release it ~220 as per the provided guide?

Also, was surveying dashcam, seen a lot 70Mai and iRoad - which are you guys using? Would be interested to read some malaysian x50 reviews here!

Tyre - yours started with ~230 from the get-go? Or you released the air?

Dash cam - looks like i got a lot of reading to do! Thanks for the heads up

Do you guys subscribe to any car wash package in Klang Valley?

I want to go for a 2-3 weekly car wash to protect my coating; too lazy to wash it myself

Thank you so much for this, doing my desktop research before driving around to find them this weekend.

Do car wash like these use more coating-friendly shampoo?
