If your ride feels a bit bland, check out how to make your car stand out here!
Owning a car can sometimes feel a little generic. It feels like yours (and you alone) until you see someone else driving along in an identical vehicle on the way to work, smashing your illusions.
The only problem is customising your vehicle is even more treacherous. Getting it wrong is easy, and you can wind up ruining the aesthetic or looking like a boy racer.
Fortunately, this post is here to help. We look at some customisation methods you can use to enhance the look of your vehicle while remaining elegant.

Add Interior Touches
One option is to add various interior touches to your vehicle. These small upgrades fundamentally change how it feels without affecting how it looks on the road (or getting you in trouble with the insurance company).
For example, you could add new floor mats to the vehicle. You could also add seat covers that reflect your personality. Just keep it simple.
Add LED Lighting
Another cool touch is to add LED lighting to your car interiors. Flashy lights can change the mood on the inside and the ambience, especially when you come to a stop.
LED lighting is also something that’s fun to add. You can customise it how you want, giving you more freedom. Put it on the floor to illuminate the footwells or add it to the rear seats to make the back more friendly to your kids.
Add Vinyl Graphics
You could also add a personal touch to your vehicle using car stickers. These reflect your interests and hobbies without being too flashy.
These days, vinyl graphics are high-quality and won’t change your vehicle’s appearance. They look great for weeks or months at a time and often contain UV-protective compounds that prevent the sun from dulling them over time (helpful if you keep the vehicle outside).
Headlight Upgrades
Another option is headlight upgrades. These transform the practicality of the vehicle at night while also making your car stand out.
Of course, you have to be careful with this type of upgrade, but if you can get it right, it could make all the difference in the world. Better headlights make it easier to see where you’re going and can make an older vehicle look more modern.
Maintain The Car’s Character
Of course, while you’re making these changes, you want to ensure your vehicle maintains its character. You don’t want to lose the essence of the original model.
This means you’ll want to focus on more subdued interventions at first. Take your time to see what works before moving on to more daring options.
Also, if the car is sporty, make the upgrades sport. If it’s luxurious, do the same with the upgrades. Look for opportunities to enhance what’s already there instead of reinventing the wheel.
Add Subtle Accents
Finally, you might want to add some subtle accents to the vehicle’s exterior. These can slowly change its appearance, helping it stand out on the road. Contrasting colours and additional trim can have an outsized visual impact.
Make Your Car Stand Out
It’s sometimes easier than you may think to make your car stand out. Follow these tips, but remember to hire a professional where necessary to achieve the best results!
