The blue is very close to M blue, the sun is just making it look faded out in the pictures near garage opening.

I added the IND red start button over the weekend. I didn't need to dismantle the dash/button assembly to do it - just used some seriously sticky putty and yanked the old button out, popped the new one in. Easy peasy. Took about 2 minutes.

If you're thinking about adding this but are worried about having to remove the assembly to do it, reconsider and use the sticky putty.

Didn't bother with a pic since the end result is exactly what's in the IND site.

No1Cares · 11-13-2018, 07:25 AM

didn't do anything special, but I had the chance to take it on a 100 mile drive up to winchester, va along twisty roads yesterday. this is the most I've driven my car in the past 7 months. I was still so surprised this car has the power and balance it has for a little suv. was definitely awesome to do a few italian tune-ups on the back roads.

still loving this car the same as when I bought it april this year...still the longest time with no buyers remorse of any vehicle I've had so far. lol

Wow, great idea! I'm about to install the same. What brand/ kind of putty did you use? I tried duck tape but no luck.

Haha...Thanks but I can't take credit for th idea. Can't recall where I picked up the idea, but not mine!

I'm sorry I don't recall the brand as it's been sitting in my toolbox for quite some time!

I think you should be able to find something on Amazon; search for 'very sticky putty' and you'll definitely get some results. It MIGHT have been a 3M product, but not sure.

Make sure the putty is warm/malleable then plop it down on the button, press it relatively firmly and let it sit for 10 or so secs then yank it off. If the putty comes off but not the button, just keep plugging away. Mine took 3 attempts

oh...and when replacing the new button make sure you line everything up correctly before pressing it down otherwise you'll have to use the putty to remove it and then re-seat it again

Had my summer 699Ms swapped for winter 691s.

Surprised by how close the brakes are to the front wheels but if they're on it should be fine! (Right? Lol)

hok020 · 11-17-2018, 12:32 PM

Wintertires also today to 691...

Lux700 · 11-18-2018, 09:11 AM

Gtechniq'd all of my glass.

Got it from this place https://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk although not much use to you over there. It was a place recommended bya other forum member. Got the Bilt-Hamber wheel cleaner too, which was also recommended... very good stuff!

nyalpine90 · 11-19-2018, 06:17 AM

reg sticker went on.
cleaned windshield and applied rainx.

VTX3 · 11-19-2018, 09:46 AM

I've got over 100 miles on my 691 set with no issues with clearance, etc.

The Blizzack LM001s are directional. If you didn't put them on yourself, make sure you check. I noticed a friend's snows were put on the wrong way!

Radar314 · 11-21-2018, 09:46 PM

Added the center console tray from Amazon. Very nice.

I bought one a couple weeks ago. Much needed addition.

It's nice that we have a center console so large/deep that we *need* a tray!

X3inZug · 11-24-2018, 01:50 PM

I also love the organizer for the armrest.

Question: What do you have/use for a small trash bag / container? I was looking for something for the front seats. Either to place on the side compartment doors or a very simple discreet thing hanging from the center console?

Suggestions? thanks...
