Pretty good price especially if yours is hyper silver, he will sell separate as well.

So tempting to get those sideskirts - got the spoiler already - right colour, too. :victory:
Do it! I would be all over it if it was my colour, if you are worried about drilling you could just sikaflex it on

Bro called to say he's already been and bought the kit. In this imperfect world, it seems the front and rear components are still in white but I'll deal with that. He talked it down to $650 and will despatch it through his workplace to the Adelaide site for free.

Awesome... If it were me, I'd get some paint mixed up and put in a can and spray them myself.. if the match of colour is spot on you can get away with a handyman finish on low mounted skirts and spoilers (especially if you apply a clear coat after)
A man of your skills could do this Gonz! :goodjob:
I agree, I don't know if you have a supercheap around but they mix paint in a rattle can for about $33 if you have a gun its even better! the paint colour is spot on its just a matter of applying it but like you said if can get away with a bit because its a small part :goodjob:

Welease the Pictowials!...Pardon the resuscitation but this is the neatest way to show what four sessions of light, patient spraying over a week has achieved. As spotty and uneven as the first coat seemed, it improves (or my technique does :rolleyes:) and now I'll just keep going for another week until the can is empty. Then I have a similar schedule of clear acrylic to go. Note that the black inserts have been covered with carefully sculpted masking tape. :victory:

By the way, I haven't shared that the kit failed to include the mounting hardware or instructions for the rear skirt, despite the seller 'apologising' by email and then promptly ignoring any more of my emails or calls.
I asked Cruiserfied to please look into what might be available from Hyundai and he came through like a champ. My thanks to him for that little bit of 'lifesaving' in sourcing the PDF mounting instructions, not only for the rear skirt, but for the front skirt as well, beating scanned quality.
These are available here, or perhaps there's some space on the server where they'll be safer eventually.

That looks really good! Did you just do that with a rattle can? I'm impressed might just have to do my side skirts myself then. Did you use a primer first?No primer, just a couple of cans of the right shade made up at Super Cheap along with a couple of cans of standard clear coat for later.
The first coat was dismally faint and spotty but I resisted the urge to constantly and continuously touch up in favour of a long process of letting each light coat settle for at least 48 hours. The discipline is paying off and now after the fourth coat it's all even and there appears to be no danger of creating any contrasting areas at all. I'll just keep spraying until I'm out of paint (both bits get a coat at the same time to minimise the times I have to invert and clear the nozzle). Then I'll do the same with the clear. :goodjob:
All up about $100 in paint across a month and a lot of enjoyment in seeing it come together. I'm blown away just how perfect the colour match and final quality are. :happydance:

I have looked into your request and contacted Hyundai for assistance. The rear skirt was an accessory that Hyundai had available but it now an obsolete part. The kit was never sold as an separate item nor were the individual parts. I understand that this is not good news but once the manufacturer discontinues an accessory there is no recourse for parts.

Sorry Gonz those part numbers for the brackets don't exist in Hyundais system.Thanks, mate. There's what I eventually got back tonight. Seems you both found the same result. That leaves me with a bit of guesswork making up my own brackets. :confused:

Repairs and spare parts
Manufacturers or importers guarantee they will take reasonable steps to provide spare parts and repair facilities (a place that can fix the consumer’s goods), for a reasonable time after purchase.
For example:
> A consumer drops his digital camera, which he bought new a year ago for $2000. He contacts the importer and asks where he can get it repaired. The importer advises they no longer supply parts for that model of camera. A reasonable consumer would expect a one-year-old camera to be repairable. The manufacturer has not taken reasonable steps to provide spare parts or facilities, so the importer must provide a remedy.
How much time is ‘reasonable’?
This will depend on the type of goods. For instance:
> it would be reasonable to expect that tyres for a new car will be available for many years after its purchase
> it may not be reasonable to expect that spare parts for an inexpensive children’s toy are available at all.
When the guarantee on repairs and spare parts does not apply
A manufacturer or importer does not have to meet the guarantee on repairs and spare parts if they advised the consumer in writing, at the time of purchase, that repair facilities and spare parts would not be available after a specified time.

I then used fine pliable wire to shape a template hole to hole shape for the two longer brackets and four shorter zigzag brackets. With the aid of a hacksaw, big shifters and cordless drill, my aluminium strip is now shorter and the missing length is 6 neat brackets awaiting some suitable fasteners. :victory:
