steinrk · **Reply #5: November 07, 2010, 22:33:18**

Thank you all. I couldn't agree more

... the question is now; should I put some styling on????

Dazzler · **Reply #6: November 08, 2010, 00:07:34**

It looooooks real good AJ

agentr31 · **Reply #7: November 08, 2010, 06:26:21**

yes!!! smash some chrome on it! or a set of wheels!

eyecon · **Reply #8: November 08, 2010, 07:42:22**

:cool:Maybe a rear spoiler and lowered a little. Looking good anyway.

mtuckeruk · **Reply #9: November 11, 2010, 08:13:11**

What you mean...its got styling already compared to old model. Front spolier, side skirts and rear spolier are different and lower. You need to get a tape measure and check against an older model. By the way what is your location , is it OZ, cos I thought they didnt get the new style i30

mtuckeruk · **Reply #10: November 11, 2010, 08:17:09**

i just saw from the number plate, its from Norway therefore new shape i30. (just rubbing it in a bit for the ozzies here)

Hmmm... one question, maybe a thousand of answers.
P.E.:
- looks almost good for me, same as eyecon
- agent31 thinks of a thousand things to be done (he mentioned only two though)

- dazzler thinks it's already "fancy" (he didn't mention it, just to be polite)

It depends of your age and/or your "target group"

duke · **Reply #12: November 12, 2010, 13:21:00**

NICE !!!! Add white wheels (17'') with red carbon fiber inserts and a double red pinstripe down the side . just classy not showy

steinrk · **Reply #13: November 12, 2010, 21:20:16**

I was a bit afraid that I started an impossible discussion, and I guess i was right

This is a good question babis.

I feel like 25 and some months

but to be honest - it's quite a lot of months (300 to be correct)

To tell you the truth I became a member of the Norwegian Retirement Organization to buy the car. Not because I'm that old but that gave me another 6% discount on the car

I agree with eyecon that a rear spoiler would look good, maybe also lowering the car but not sure how that will affect it.

@ duke and agentr31 Remember I live in Norway. Up here it's the beginning of the winter and the car is therefore fitted with winter tires/rims. I have also a set of unused summer tires/rims (205/55 R16) in the garage waiting for April/May next year

I haven't decided if I like chrome or not

Another question regarding rear spoiler. Which one is the best one? I think I have seen at least 5 different types. Can anyone of those be mounted without drilling holes in the car?

Btw. thank you for all your feedback, looks like I'll be stuck with this forum

2i30s · **Reply #14: November 12, 2010, 22:57:08**

i came in for a look around and 4,000 plus posts I'm still here.

I've seen a spoiler in my mods searching quest that was a tape only fitted unit,but of the massive amount of sites and stores i cant recall were I've seen it.

I'll find it I'm sure,time.

and as far as age goes with mods,I'm 43 and haven't stopped being a teenager.

babis_xo · **Reply #15: November 14, 2010, 09:37:57**

you mean tea-n-ager?

Back to the spoiler: a tape only fitted one?

A "good" small-sized roof-spoiler could produce some kgs of downforce at 150 km/h. To be sure that it stays in place, it has to be a really "bad" spoiler

steinrk I believe Hi motors.com have self adhesive rear spoilers from memory. I think sharkracing might have the same ones on their site too.

I'm with you 2i30s

More to the point as far as I am concerned ......
Hope you enjoy your new car Steinrk.
Thank you so much for posting the pictures. In particular because your pictures show a "2011" spec model, with mud flaps added. I have had my own 2011 spec CRDi since June and had been unable to get mud flaps for the new shape. Hyundai UK seemed in denial, quoting all sorts of issues and delays, but were supposed to tell me when available.
As a result of your pictures I went to my local UK dealer and found they had the flaps in stock since October. So here we go at last!
So.... anyone else with a 2011 spec i30 that is after mudflaps they should now be on the shelves. Part numbers are 2R460-ADE20 (rear) & 2R460-ADE10 (front).
Interesting that i30's are not available in white in UK (excepting the Edition model).
