This is just an update on the Progress of our New QQ that has arrived from Sunderland and is now being modified and having ist PDC`s done. These comments might be of interest to some or if any other member is planning to go down the same path. It is just annoying how things just do not appear to go that smoothly - but again that appears to be life some you win - some you lose !

The QQ should have been ready on the 27th Nov but we got the call that it would not happen. So I thought a visit was needed and found that the QQ was up on a Ramp awaiting some parts ordered. The sales Guy then mentioned that a part we had ordered would not fit and that another part had been installed. The reason for this being that although our Model is the latest QQ J11B this is a Tekna + (Dynamic Paket) with the New Color Matched Exterior and guess what, some parts are not Interchangeable with this model. :( The reason being is that the 1st Generations of the J11B have the Black External Molding around the Base Areas of the QQ (as J11A) which have now been changed on the J11B Tekna only. If interested take a look at the “Blue” QQ with Black Moldings vs the Gun Metal without. The part we ordered was a Elegance Pack Front Bumper Finisher Chrome KE610-HV03C but this would not fit because of the thickness of the Black Plastic, so a Crossover Plate Silver KE610-HV55S was installed and this does look good. :D

With Black Molding :

Without Black Molding :

The next point to arise was the Mud Flaps KE788-4E080 that were ordered, these would also not fit for the same reasons the difference of the plastic, two sets were tried but would not fit. So it looks like a wait until “Aliexpress” comes along with a set. :lol:
If any Members have Mudflaps installed on the Tekna + I would be interested to know what they are !

I then took a look at our Wind Alloys that had Dunlop Sport Maxx Tires installed and spoke to our Sales Guy that I would prefer the Michelin Tires as they would appear to have a Rubber Overlap which should help prevent Kerb Damage (discussed before here). He took a look and agreed and has now change the Wheels & Michelins to our QQ.

Just two weeks, or so, until we pick up our new Tekna + we are not having any additional items fitted to it.

My new QQ has the Michelin Pilot tyres and I can confirm they have a very useful profile incorporating a wall that gets thicker towards the rim protecting the wheel from damage. Here's a closer pic of the tyre shoulder and my all-coloured car, please excuse the dirt!

Thanks you both for your comments I expect you are getting excited PJB 👍. Foffer, the more I looked the more I saw the Benefits of this Michelin Tyre (with like Rim Protection) over the Dunlop and was amazed when our Sales Guy had confirmed they had been changed and stored, because we now have the Winter Wheels installed - Dave 😏

Just got a polite letter from the German Customs & Vehicle Tax Office regarding my Yearly Car Tax. What do other members get hit with in the UK regarding “Car Tax” as ours has been calculated at €160 (£137). I would be interested if this is a similiar amount for a UK QQ - Thanks in Advance Dave 🤨
The calculation was for the 1,3L Motor :
€2 x 14 (Motor 1,332cm3 figure rounded up) = 28 + 2 x 66 (161 g/km QQ C02 - 95g/km) = Payment €160

Gloucester, Thanks for this very long information packet but this was all supplied by Nick earlier today so it’s looks like a double up job again, did you read his earlier comment ?.
The calculation is naturally a German one not UK and it is as stated on the Tax information so that is something I cannot comment on, it is as it is. The comment is that a charge of €2 is for every g/km over 95g/km therefore 161-95= 66 - Dave 😏

As stated by Nick : “Hi Dave / Hope all is good with you ! / 145 pounds in uk after second year is the rate for a QashQai petrol now https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables”
