i think the black ones would look good .

babis_xo · **Reply #67: May 31, 2011, 11:38:30**

^ black stripes? it would probably look like ducktape on the shiny metallic colour

bumpkin · **Reply #68: May 31, 2011, 11:41:44**

Done just over 1000K so far, services are 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or annually so I won't have to worry about that for another 11 months

You can get the bonnet stripes in black or white, I think I prefer it without the stripes though http://www.hyundai-car.co.uk/accessories/all/?modelName=ix20

Hyundai have also released some funky body graphics for the ix20 (not my cup of cocoa though!)

2i30s · **Reply #69: May 31, 2011, 11:53:13**

those graphics and stripes do nothing for me either,the i30 stripes looked good.

yeah babis,duct tape.

Jests aside, I'll have the same cup of

And the centered stripes makes the car look like some familiar... living little creature, ready to bite you

Hyundai's chief designer Thomas Bürkle probably tears his hair off his head with these on the accesory list (keep in mind that ix20's twin, Kia Venga, won the red dot design award)

babis_xo · **Reply #72: May 31, 2011, 12:36:40**

Once intended to become a car designer... I design houses instead

I don't mind the stripes.. the decals are yuk

i think Brian's caught the car mod bug.

i think one day I'll be doing mods on my mobility scooter.

i will always have a teenagers way of looking at my cars,sue says I'll never grow up. but really,i don't think i want to.

They go on the seats?

Could've done with them myself the other day when I went out in the car with my daughter driving....

bumpkin · **Reply #77: June 03, 2011, 09:51:29**

Sill guards arrived this morning, Hyundai dealer off eBay, complete kit with fitting instructions and 3M alcohol wipes for £48 instead of £63 (£55 with my discount) from my dealer

Skid plates have arrived at my dealership (the eBay dealer was more expensive for these

), so just need to find some time to pop over and pick them up, perhaps since we are basking in 24C sunshine an early stop from work is called for this afternoon

All sounds good Bumpers... enjoy the weather cos the nice weather girl has suggested that it'll suddenly go back to winter on Saterday

Here are my additions to the ix20.

Carpet Mats and note the bare door sill.

No longer bare.

Rear sill protector.

Mudflaps.

Close up of rear mudflap.

Front with skid guard attached.

Rear skid guard.

Oh yeah and I got the official key ring thrown in from my dealer

rustynutz · **Reply #80: June 04, 2011, 14:30:39**

Looks good, Brian....

Shambles · **Reply #81: June 04, 2011, 14:43:12**

Looking nice and shiny

Good, useful, mods I have to say

babis_xo · **Reply #82: June 04, 2011, 16:18:47**

Nice fittings Brian

Door sills are very usefull when kids get in and out of the car.

bumpkin · **Reply #83: June 04, 2011, 17:42:57**

Yep, sill guards are great for the kids, and also high heels from the front passenger

With the ix20 being higher to get into than the i30 I decided that the guards are a necessity rather than simply eye-candy

Glad you all approve

Hmmm... is it really or just looks like it is?

bumpkin · **Reply #87: June 04, 2011, 18:36:53**

ix20 flat sill is at 34cm with a leg lift of 36cm over the rubber door seal.
