I really want a side stripe like that. Did you have it custom made?
Yep it was made and applied by a firm fairly local to me called custom coats. I literally sent them the PDF of the logo, text and numbers ( found them from a Jurassic park fan site that has all the correct logos for the jeeps, the g wagen and the explorers including sizes) they took the colour of the rear numbers (as that's the correct shade of blue) so it matched and then made the stripe from scratch using photos of the G wagon in the film as reference.
I also had assistance from a french owner that had done the same, but with a small logo, that had made a full blueprint of measurements when he got his done.

Did you have the dealer to do the wind deflectors and is the privacy glass a factory fit or tint? I've had a quote for £100 to tint the rear by a company that's been tinting for Audi main dealer for 20 years, so going to get that done soon. Not sure on a 20% or 5% tint yet.

@geezerdan the dealer did the tints and cost just shy of 200 notes so if you can get them done for 100 you're on to a winner. 20% as 5% would I feel make the cabin a bit dark on the inside.
I bought an official wheel cover from a dealer on eBay and recently got some defoggers from Jimny style. These are well worth it and cover up the exposed rear window heater wires.
I've ordered a cupholder but Corona virus is delaying delivery from China gulp!
Ooh and have a bonnet protector from an eBay seller but yet to fit it.

Any thoughts on upgrading the head unit to a touchscreen and adding rear speakers?

I've also got the defogger covers on order now and have been toying with getting a replacement headunit either aftermarket or off like a 2017 swift from a scrapyard (like the wiper stalks, which i'm still debating) I've also got the boot storage box from the sz5 fitted on mine so mine is slowly becoming an sz5
From what i've found out so far the only bits that wont be possible are things like the heated seats (unless someone has discovered the seats are the same and all that's needed is the switch on centre console) leather steering wheel and off course the climate control. Though not 100% on if the headlights can be fitted given what fitting the Led tail lights was like for me.
@zebraman Cheers i do nearly cause a few accidents by people looking and realising what it is, a lot have to double take on it. I even had someone come up to me in a car park and asked me for a photo of the car for their son. Though i really want to see the actual Jurassic park jeep replica that is close to me. I've seen it when i've been in the works van but not in the Jimny.
Though taking my Jimny to the new defender event in the livery caused a stir even to the point of having salesman coming out and having a word with me................about how cool the Jimny was and to have a look at it for themselves as it's rarer then a Bugatti. Im thinking about doing a full wrap into the marine concept once the JW Livery has been on a while.

Based on the fitting kit that comes with the armrests, which describes itself as a Jimny VI and Ignis II (2016+) fitting kit. It could be implied that the Ignis seats are the same ( but I am not guaranteeing that)

I'd had a head unit in mind but I quite like the one in there and it doesn't sound too bad. It also pairs with my phone well and Android auto app works nicely too. It needs new front and rear speakers urgently.
The car came with 28psi in the tyres and I knocked them down to 26 as per the sticker buy I'm not sure it was a good idea. The car feels more bouncy and seems to roll more in corners. Am I going crazy?

I've never tried it as you have to plug a wire into the phone AFAIK, it won't work by bluetooth.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
