My new car:





And this is why I used the Happy Birthday scheme.  The Dealer drove my car into the oil canister in their workshop when I took the car in for a new key to be programmed.  Like the paint job that they said was okay  :evil:




After several letters to Hyundai UK MD - via recorded mail - He (they) never replied to any of them.

The car was re-sprayed again, which was a better match, but still bad in some light. So when the opp came up to change it under the Hyundai scheme I did. That car also rattled at the front after the damage, which they never fixed.

Is the car in the top 3 pic same as the bottom 2, cause the rims is certainly different or did you change to the 15" from 16".

I think you'll find the top three pix are his new car and bottom 2 the old one...(as indicated)

Yep, I got it in the end. Seems a happy ending to a sad story.

Be nice if you could get some foggers fitted - kinda makes the i30 look sleeker imho :)

£35 each side + fitting. There is no wiring loom or column switch though, so would just be for show.

I miss them as well. Hyundai have really made a good job of removing items from there newer cars.

You should have nick it on the old car before you handed it in. Guess you have to pay for them if you want it on a new car. Luckily still standard on the i30 here in my region.

That was a shockingly bad job they did with the bumper.

The snowflakes look good on the new car.

It's like the bumper was painted in solid black instead of metallic black.
