Welcome. Will you only be making parts for the new Jimny or will you also be catering for the previous generation?

You'll find the wading depth is limited to 300mm for the sake of the transmission breathers rather than the engine air intake, so you'd do well to include extended breathers with the snorkel. That said, you'd could make a stick on fake snorkel and it would still sell like hot cakes because most people just love the look.

If you don't mind me asking, what was your wait time between order and collection of your SZ5?

This sounds very exciting, I'll be interested to see what you come up with, especially the roof-rack.

He's not wrong. There's a much larger and I suspect more willing market to be tapped into with the gen3 as many owners are inclined to modify and indeed modernise their older vehicles

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
Bellerophon (2024 grello van daily
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!

Sorry about that ;) .

They do have axle breathers, but they just terminate under the vehicle. That's something we're looking at addressing.

Sorry to disappoint, but our time from order to collection was about 3 days. We used "connections" (and a lot of time) to find the right vehicle.

We're only looking at parts for the current generation at the moment. We have so many parts in development for different marques that we currently don't have the time to look at other models etc.
