I bit the bullet the other day and bought one of the front and rear body kits from Maugh Theim the other day. I must say the service from these guys was very good.

I couldn't get a Continetal Silver kit, so I got the Crystal White kit and will give it a paint later this week. Not too much of an issue as I have all the gear to do the job.

I'm waiting for a rear boot spoiler to come from Korea, and when everything is fitted I will post a picture or two.

I'm excited!! I don't want to be just another hyundai on the road and am planning to have a slightly subdued version of what I see from the Korean Club guys.
Best part is the missus is quite happy for me to play with the looks of the car.

The missus would probably agree with some of the comments, but then again she has a good sense of humour. We only have the one car, because I ride a motorbike (Aprilia 1000etv). Actually she will benefit more than me from the upgrades as she drives the car more than me. No big deal, I really enjoy the" farkles".

As I mentioned the other day to the wife, "if you don't put some personality into your car, then it's just another car"

Bought the same kit, easy to install and everything supplied, where the sharp curves are, it may help to use a bit of super glue for the rubber( you will know when you get there ;))

Wish I read this before fitting mine, that was the only hassle the rubber strip moving on the install.
Other than that they fit up great & do look good when on.

I have only done the front, how is the rear to fit? Need to super glue the stip? :idea:
