It looks nice - but is the emblem mounted on the bonnet legal in your country? In the Uk I doubt that it would be unless made of very soft material of no danger to any pedestrian you might hit.

Don't take any notice of him Kerwick .. That emblem looks ideal for lining up wayward Pedestrians  :whistler: :rofl:

I like the chrome around the lower grill section  :goodjob:

Thanks for the thumbs up, the emblem is a spring loaded type of hinge so it bends back if I happen to hit someone (dam), was hoping it would leave a good impression on someone!!!

Hi Guys
Got the bling off ebay, the badge cost $25 plus postage, the grill bits cost about $99 from Oz seller. Have seen cheaper ones from Hong Kong but add the postage and they work out about the same. As for the "baby's backside" have only put on a strip of chrome around the edge of the bumper. Would like to find a bumper guard for the top of the bumper to stop marks but can only find i30 hatch ones, seen i30cw (estate in UK) one I like but alas cant get it unless you are in the UK. If anyone can help me get one let me know.

Kerwick, I brought mine from Korea and am very happy with it. They are on eBay for $48 with free postage. Search " I30CW bumper protector"

Good luck.

thanks, do you have a pic of it (the bumper protector), have attached a pic of what I am looking for. It has a lip along the edge to stop the paint chipping.

 can you get these for a hatch?

It's a Hyundai accessory in the U.K.
The company that makes them is 10 miles from me so I bought direct but couldn't get much off the price.

Both links are old.  The i30 version IS available for 2011 models but I don't know about the 2012 version.
