Thanks guys, I'm going to South Korea for holiday in October, expect a completely new look on the body kit next year. BTW my wife just received the new Hy Sonata/i45 and it's a work of art, really put my i30 to shame and I would be lying if I said i'm not jealous.

Hi Mugen are you saying your wife just bought an i45/sonata (they are a very attractive car but have some handling/ride tweaks pending here in Oz) there is a tread on here about them with lots of photos and discussion

Ya, she runs a shipping company and they've just bought 3 of those as company car, being the director she gets to take one home at night. So not fair. They have an agreement with Hyundai locally to supply vehicle for the next 5 years. So their stock now is three i30's, four ix35 and the three sonata's

Can she just use any car, i.e first out gets first dibs.
  • 1.4 Petrol Active I'm no expert, so please correct me if

Ya it's a nice car, don't see the link though.

@eye30...I think the way it work in her company, is the directors get to drive all the new machines, till they put some mileage or bend it, then they pass it on to the other department.

The spring/suspension assy is Korean, it sells under the name Tech Pro. up to 2" lowering adjustable.
The front grill and everything else is part of the Tomato a&p kit, and fairly easy to install. There's a thread somewhere on this forum how to remove the front grill but its fairly easy done with just a Philips cross head screw driver.

Just installed these led tail lamp, completely changed the rear end.


You can noticed that I had to raise back the car, this is due to some major road works going on in my neighborhood, once that's done, i'll be slamming her back on the tarmac.

Just received my 7ism catback sport exhaust (single exit with dual muffler tips), the car is booked in for next week to have it fitted. By my calculation could be quite tedious as the bottom lip need to be cut and there are no templates for doing that. Just Hope that my mechanic got a steady hand and a level vision.

Looks Great! .. Don't forget to post a photo of the new exhaust if you can get a reasonable shot of it!  :goodjob:
