Any other mods that I should do? Please suggest
So far ,
I've changed the alloys to 17" californias from a megane gt ,
Added an Rdx spoiler, m sport mirror caps, red calipers,
Done the back tints
Added ambient lighting (amazon)
Harman kardon subwoofer + upgraded back door speakers to the front ones ( mid range ones not cheap ones), added sound proofing, may upgrade to the HK tweeters
Wrapped the steering wheel
Does anyone have any other suggestions ???

I would lower it

u/MihaiS07 1d ago
So you buy a more expensive version because it's raised and then you spend more money to lower it? Now that's a big brain move.

Yeah you have a point, id like to lower it but to be honest I appreciate the higher suspension when on mountain roads

Standard Sandero springs?

u/daddysd3sireme 1d ago
the wheel gap is practically a canyon at this point. gotta drop it if you want the rest of the mods to actually look cohesive.

The steering wheel cover is already doing a lot, so maybe just focus on fixing that loose wire near the passenger footwell before you trip over it.

u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Yeah I need to to a better job 😂, its basically the dashcam cable and the 2 cables for the ambient lighting but its a tucked in only the centre console is meesy

full sound proofing, I did that to my dacia Logan 2 and the music is a blast and time spent on highway is less draining, but It adds around 50-60 kgs unfortunately. It is just a touring car for me, so weight/power ration is irrelevant to be as it get s me from A to B

u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Only thing is is having to pull the headliner down to replace to a shark😥

u/Blacklightkiller 1d ago
oh that is something I dont know. here in germany there is kit you can purchase for plug and play.. my dacia sandero 2026 eco g 120 automatic already has one already installed..
2
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Oh yeah I looked at it its fairly easy its just the headliner bit im afraid to do😂😂

u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Want to do the gear stick, maybe clio rs line one but the only thing is Id be afraid I'll crack some of the surrounding and have to replace the whole thing. May do the led soon on the interior and high beams
1
u/Blacklightkiller 1d ago
u just have to push the plastic upwards where your lil led Controller is and it will loosen up a lil bit. to undo the 1-6 gear shift itself u have to rotate it.
1
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Ohhh thanks, so I dont have to take the 'leather' and surround off?
2
u/Blacklightkiller 1d ago
to replace the knob u dont. for the shift bag you have to pull the plastic up so you can unplug the metal frame connected to the shift bag. the knob is threaded

u/Blacklightkiller 1d ago

I have Sandero Stepway III 2023 Extreme edition and I was planning to put ambient light inside i just dont know how or better to say what to buy ^^

u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
I got goovee led footwell lights from amazon, I can't rememeber what the name of the dashboard strip was but It was from amazon aswell , only thing with the dashboard strip is that it kinda gets messy once you get to the driverside especially because I have it plugged into the USB charging port but hope to make it less messy looking soon

Quick question, how did you change the wallpaper on the MediaNav? Mine only has the blue background and it’s super annoying in the evening or early mornings.
2
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Its in the secret menu on the media nav, you can also change the background of the system aswell to the renault design, it looks a lot less basic compared to the renault
2
u/ConfidencePossible 1d ago
Looks like there are big chances to screw something up in that menu 😂 but I’ll give it a shot, warranty is out already anyway

u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 18h ago
Ah no not really just do what the fella says in the video and you'll be ok😂 just be careful of what you press on the screen

First time seeing somebody modding a Dacia 🤣🤣
1
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 20h ago
😂😂😂unfortunately dont have the budget for a nicer car and aswell lpg is very cheap compared to petrol and diesel
2
u/BarLeather4288 20h ago
in my country we have this joke: "No matter how much you improve that cart, it won't become a Mercedes.", but I agree with you, lpg is much cheaper and I prefer it as well.

u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 20h ago
Yeah i get you, sure in Ireland my car rarely gets a complement, more hated on but I like my dacia as its my first car aswell so🤷♂️

u/Erander 2d ago
Ill say what, find better seats thatd fit sandero
2
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
More comfortable ones
2
u/Erander 1d ago
Yes, maybe even some alcantara, sadly these dacia seats are quite crap
1
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Do you think like custom fitted covers or just completely different seats
1
u/Erander 1d ago
Covers would make them look nicer but wont add much comforr, these seats badly lack lumbar support, I'd personally try to see if any other better seats could fit in but not even sure what could be an option, maybe something from renault koleos as example?
2
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Yeah I see exactly where you're coming from, funnily enough we actually have s koleos in the family, its seats are like being on a comfortable armchair

1- Digital instrument cluster retrofit. 7 inch or even 10 inch (from Megane 4 Ph2)
2- Driving modes activations with steering wheel setting.
3- Adding TPMS sensors for real time tire pressure monitoring.
1
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
I really want to get the coding done for multi sense , real time tpms and welcome lights on the outside only thing is theres no one in Ireland that does the DDT4ALL coding that I know of. 10 inch cluster would be sick but its the same thing of not knowing anyone to code
2
u/EXcomZkko Jogger 1d ago
You need a bypass cable for sgw problem. And a good elm327 adapter. Then contact me; I can do the all coding stuff via remote connection.

u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Definitely could be a thing for the future im interested in doing it

change that steering wheel!
1
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
To the newer shape?
2
u/valepiskiii 1d ago
yea, that one makes the car look very old to me
1
u/oisinc2006 Sandero Stepway Comfort Eco-G 100 1d ago
Yeah I get you, i got it wrapped because the original leather was boring so its half leather half alcantara rn with orange stiching to match the stepway trim but definitely gonna look into it
