I paid around Rs 13,000 & my order was delivered to me in less than four days. I am sharing the links to all items for those who are interested.
BHPian Biraj recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
The most important accessory (for me) is here.
I saw this design armrest in one of the international (Japanese) reviews and then frantically searched on the internet. I found it on Amazon Japan and ordered it, along with a centre console organiser and a cup/phone holder. I ordered these three items on Thursday evening and received them earlier today. It took less than four days (two working days). The total cost was around Rs 13k, including premium shipping and customs duty. The entire process, handled by Amazon/DHL, was quite smooth. I paid the total fee, including the customs duty, at the time of checkout and had to upload documents for KYC on DHL’s KYC portal.
The armrest feels sturdy and well-built. It’s significantly better than the universal ones I saw at local accessories shops. Even the option I saw online (with multiple USB ports) didn’t seem to be put together very well. This one slotted in flush with the rear cup/bottle holders. It also has double-sided tape attached to ensure a stable fit.
The centre console organiser is made of soft, rubbery material (Urethane, as per the Amazon listing). This should help avoid the clatter that plastic ones may cause.
I will install the cup holder later as I want to try it on the passenger side first. If it doesn’t obstruct the ORVM, I will keep it there; otherwise, I’ll move it to the driver’s side.

In other updates, I got the first service/inspection done over the weekend. It was a pleasant experience at Nexa (Motorcraft) Sector 57, Noida. I booked the appointment on the Maruti Rewards App well past midnight on Friday. I reached the service station at noon, was promptly attended to, and the work was completed by 3pm, despite it being a particularly busy day there. They were kind enough to remove the plates from the rear roof bar (I mentioned it as a source of noise in one of the earlier posts) and conceal the wire for the dashcam.
PS: Beegu loves the rides in this too but remains curious about the destination, always hopeful it’s not the vet.
