The ACS i3 does look more purposeful with the front splitter for sure. As you’ve said however, you can make these cars look great on a more sensible budget.

I know the EV world does get a bit of flak BUT I’m genuinely very happy with our i3s. The only thing is ours doesn’t have the larger bag screen (chip shortage when being built)! No problem, ready when you are! Think you’re right, full ACS on the Galvanic Gold would be mega!

Yeah we wanted to try and showcase that part as much as possible!

Thanks! We’re really considering some ACS parts on our one, especially the front splitter!

Thanks for your input! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks for the comment! The ACS part is an acquired taste but does look cool in person. For sure it will help with gaining some frontal load/downforce but not something you’d notice on this type of car 😀

Thanks very much! If you had to choose one, which would it be?

I guess it comes down to the sort of repair you’re looking at. I know main dealers can be expensive but with the complexity and potential danger of working with EVs then it’s probably best it’s done by them. If it’s just servicing requirements (Minimal on EVs) then any independent should be good! We just serviced our i3s last week and all it needed was a pollen filter and brake fluid change!

@@Carbonwurks Thanks. Have to say the i3s is an incredible car. I’ve had some great cars over the years but I never got attached to them. I really feel like I want to keep this car forever.

@GoogleAccount-vn8mu Think it’s a keeper for us also! Just such a good all round daily.

The i3 specialist’s to go to are Wisely Automotive in London. I believe that they have sold over 500 examples. Worth watching their KZfaq clips.

I believe they are just car sales and not an independent repairer so to speak. Their website links straight to autotrader. That said, they do have some great KZfaq content!

So I’ve owned a Tesla Model 3 Performance before which in its own right was a much faster car than the i3S but with all electric cars (including Taycans), there is more to it than just instant power and torque. You can still have fun in them but they don’t give the same level of engagement as a faithful petrol engined car. So in short, you can still enjoy yourself (in a straight line and through corners) but the car doesn’t egg you on. You tend to drive electric cars in a different way and they become just very good daily drivers with a very easy and relaxed driving experience. Electric cars absolutely have their place and are still enjoyable, but in my opinion only work financially if you can mostly charge at home with cheap charging rates. Front splitter on the i3 looks mega, maybe one in future to go on mine 😬

I think the lighting is likely making it seem like that. In person, didn’t even notice it had any!

Sorry, we wouldn’t be able to help out with that one. I’d suggest finding a similar car where you are to obtain that information.
