How did you work that out accim???

accim · **Reply #6: April 03, 2010, 22:38:03**

See the pic

Hope you don't mind Ogi.

By the way, with what do you clean the tires?

Dazzler · **Reply #7: April 03, 2010, 22:41:24**

I didn't realise if you saved the picture from a blog it still carried that info.. (learn something every day)

2i30s · **Reply #8: April 03, 2010, 22:47:53**

nice color. :razz:all of the colors should be available in every country.

Ogi · **Reply #9: April 04, 2010, 00:14:45**

I didn't take these pics, my friend did. He is not a proffesional but he knows the drill as you can see.

He has some very good equipment and does photography as a hobby.

I just lubricate the tyres with the solution of water and glycerin.

There is inidigo blue here in Serbia but we don't have anything stronger than 1,4 petrol!! Can't believe it! We only have 1,6 diesel and 1,4 petrol. Maybe you have to do a special order for getting something else, i don't know, but in the official price list there is no other... as i can see, all of u have much stronger engine.

2i30s · **Reply #10: April 04, 2010, 00:22:04**

every country should have the same colors,engines and options. it doesn't make sense to have the same car but with different builds in different country's.

Ogi · **Reply #11: April 04, 2010, 00:31:05**

I agree. But i guess every dealer in some country import cars it thinks it can sell. Maybe the manufacturer has different contracts with different countries concerning their level of economical development... the same is with the clothes and many other products... many of famous brands of clothes makes different clothes for western and eastern Europe... it is much, MUCH worse for eastern although it is the same brand.

After all, cars in Serbia are much more expensive than in all other countries becouse of the duty, taxes and all shit only conutries of low level of development still have...

Hemmi · **Reply #12: April 04, 2010, 00:47:29**

Looks great

Dazzler · **Reply #13: April 04, 2010, 05:44:03**

Nothing wrong with the 1.6 diesel...

Yes Dazz, but they only have 90-ps 1.6 diesel

I guess they've calculated that very few cars above that power would sell over there..
In Slovenia, you can get 1.4 petrol, 1.6 petrol and diesel, but there are no 2.0 petrol nor diesel engines in price list 8) You could order them specially, but it would cost much more and you would wait long long time.. I doubt anyone has done that.

And Ogi, you are right, the i30's cost more there, then in Slovenia (approx 1,000 EUR diff).. I just checked the Serbian price list

Here's Slovenian price list. You can see that in the price list there are listed only 90-ps diesel engines, but the 115-ps and 128-ps are listed below in the additional equipment list.. So the base price + 800 EUR for 115-ps version, etc.. Don't know why they did that, but ok.. Probably because most i30 are actually sold with 1.4 petrol engines and 90-ps 1.6 diesels..

Dazzler · **Reply #15: April 04, 2010, 08:54:31**

Oh, that's OK then...

SRT Metro · **Reply #16: April 04, 2010, 10:35:17**

Looks great!

eye30 · **Reply #17: April 04, 2010, 13:35:20**

I do like the blue

Lorian · **Reply #18: April 04, 2010, 17:22:27**

Is it my eyes or is there a kind-of unusual finish on the paint on the boot lid?

Ogi · **Reply #19: April 04, 2010, 18:09:20**

@Lorian I think it is your eyes or it's just the sample of the car a bought becouse i didn't do anything on that part. But yes, i fixed the right part of the front bumper and right wing e.g. painted over again becouse someone hit me while i was on the parking place.

But really, on some parts of the car, the tin looks really like a relief, i guess you ment that.

Yes I saw that. It reminded me of orange peel. But in blue.

Ogi · **Reply #21: April 04, 2010, 18:31:08**

It is like that by factory. Yours don't have that?

Then maybe that is when i talked about products for Western and Eastern Europe (and the rest of the developed world), for us it is everything worse.

Lorian · **Reply #22: April 04, 2010, 18:39:15**

It's not an ideal finish, but I think it can be quite common on cars sometimes. As it was built in the Korean factory then the finish should be pretty much the same as most of the i30's out there. I think the Czech factory has a slightly newer paint process. It is possible that your particular (rare) colour is more prone to have the effect. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

bumpkin · **Reply #23: April 04, 2010, 20:02:25**

Nice car

I would suggest that we should all go and have a close look at our paint, mine has that effect too if you look real close

Hemmi · **Reply #24: April 04, 2010, 21:07:12**

I think it's called hammered paint finish, and almost all new cars today have it, and yes it's cheap.

2i30s · **Reply #25: April 05, 2010, 04:35:22**

our crystal white cars both have the heavy peel or as hemi calls it hammertone paint.
