• The content creator added feminine touches to the masculine black vehicle, including flowery decorations, beauty essentials and emergency items
• Viewers were impressed by Grace's car tour and personalisation tips, with many asking where she bought certain items and praising her new wheels

TikTok influencer Grace Mondlana has given her followers an inside look at how she's making her brand-new luxury SUV feel like home.

The popular content creator @grace._mondlana, who became GWM South Africa's first-ever brand ambassador in August 2025, shared a video on 19 August 2025 showing how she's adding personal touches to her vehicle.

Grace received the car as part of her partnership with GWM Motor Vehicles, and she's been documenting her journey with the new ride on social media. In her latest video, she decided it was time to transform the sleek black SUV into something that truly represents her personality.

The influencer started by explaining to her followers that the car didn't feel like hers yet, despite being beautiful. She opened up about wanting to add feminine touches to the masculine-looking vehicle to make it feel more personal and comfortable for her daily use.

Grace began by removing protective stickers from the screens before adding flowery decorations to the air vents. She then organised practical items in the car's storage compartments, including beauty products like lip gloss, hand cream and sanitiser. The content creator also packed emergency essentials such as pads, tampons, bandages, and painkillers in a special kit.

One of her favourite additions was a larger mirror that she attached to the sun visor, joking about how much she loves seeing herself. She also kept comfortable sandals in the car for when her feet hurt after wearing heels all day.
