I have an Ignis 4grip for a DD now and I really miss my Chinese 2-DIn head unit.

I wanted some bold Suzuki lettering to go on the lower door plastics and found they were over £20 on ebay - so i tried Aliexpress ....
found just what i wanted they were listed as 80 x 30 and at a foot high I thought they would look fabulous.and only £2.50 delivered - bargain .......3 weeks went by .... then another 3 ..... then a packet arrived .......???
the stickers themselves were top quality - however they were millimetres not centimetres !
i did laugh ! what a muppet !!!

Totally my fault though- the advert clearly stated mm rather than cm !

dear Zukebob,
any news/observations about the rear tire carrier, in off road use and regards suspension sagging, gas mileage, etc?
I noticed in SR performance FB a new version, but looks heavier.
And I still looking for some magic to add an extra tank on jimny. I discover the titan spare tire tank, 45L +7kg (empty)....
regards,
Nelson

Up to this point I am quite satisfied with how it has handled the load of my spare tire. I would guess it has seen a little over 1000 km of choppy trail with the spare mounted (I typically leave the spare at a base camp when going offroad since we go as a group). Based on speed and corrugation, the trails going back to camp would probably be the worst part in my case. So far I haven't seen any sign of the mount developing any play. If I had a second Jimny, I wouldn't hesitate buying another.
I have seriously considered mounting a (or possibly 2) fuel tanks in place of the spare and relocating the spare to my roof rack. Again, neither would be mounted when I'm on the trails. At this point, I wouldn't worry about doing that, even assuming a heavier but reasonable weight.
As for your other questions, aside from the initial suspension squat that mounting the bumper created, I have seen no additional settling of the vehicle. Neither have I seen any effect on gas mileage. As I waited until the vehicle warranty expired before going offroad, I can't answer whether there is any difference in handling but there was no noticeable difference onroad.
