195,000 Korean Won, so ~$200 AUD...

I don't know if you locals can get it cheaper somehow or if there is a similar item available?

What do you other i30 owners think of it? I'll have it on a silver SLX...

Makes it look a bit Mitsubishi"ish" Personally I think the grill is a weak point of the i30 styling and there should be a mod that would be an improvement (don't think that one is it)

it looks little bit ugly.. I think, the quality of carbon plate is not good.

How about these?

I'm not sure dealers or manufactures would ship these parts to overseas or not and as you know, if you want to buy it, you should responsible for tax and shipping cost, i guess.

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking - I think it makes the car look like Batman! But - I like something Jay was able to show us better - with the " (V) " on it. 2ndly I'd also like the fog-lamp covers (I could paint them right?). I'll PM you Jaymoon to discuss. Thank you!

I wouldn't paint them ... they are best left with the carbon fibre look....

Some of those grills are better than the first one posted....

I want all Silver & Black - black mud guards, black inside, black on the grill, black around the lights... if I left the fog-guards as carbon I think it would look only half done... I wish I was getting a black i30 so I could paint the lights area and grill and them fog guards red... but I'm not. And I don't know anything other than black that compliments silver.

Hi Rubix,

Just mask and paint that part of the bumper then... If you paint the carbon fibre thingies it will just look like you painted part of the bumper anyway....

hmmm... I think it would look better that something is attached as a modification, rather than just having a paint job... I shall see.

It's in Swedish, I'm not very good in Swedish but we have 3 members here from Sweden that can maybe help you.

It says: Including glue, primer and more. Brand new. Instructions how to fit it. Shiping not included.

Do you want me to see what the shiping to Australia would cost?
