i can say that i have never driven a better car and people think im mad when they see me pull up beside them with the biggest grin on my face.
I'll try to take some more pics tomorrow using my proper camera.
but for now. I'm off for a drive :D
-
nice :cool:
-
Good on you Trips looks great (glad you are enjoying your new toy) :D
-
Superb :D :D
-
Looks great Trips, enjoy it! :D
-
It sure looks great. Nice color :wink:
Waiting for more pics :twisted:
-
Woo. Grats Trips!!
I've had mine since May, and I'm still wearing that goofy grin when I'm driving around. >.>

Due to all the construction work around my area, it's hard to find a clear and scenic place to take photos so i took some from outside the house, just for now. will keep searching for a good place for better pics.

liking this one so far.
yeah i spent half a day think of something for LUP and then gave up. I'm usually pretty good at making things from words but this got me stuffed.
-
Ah you're all missing the obvious :rolleyes:
This LUP business is quite clearly telling us all that Trips' moonlight beast is actually LUPINE, as in "like the wolf".
So it has to be "Wolfie" or "Wolfy" :D

hehehehe yeah like it.
Blue Wolf or Wolfie for short :D
does that mean that during a full moon, my car will change in to a beast?
hang on, my car IS a beast :D

I have notice that there is not a lot of interior pictures of the i30, so i grabbed the camera and took some shots inside the car for anyone who may be still thinking about getting a i30 or wanting to compare interiors.
this is the SR model (manual)
the thumbnails are small as i needed them this size for my website, i have just ported that post to here and couldn't be bother resizing the images again (lazy i know :p)

Enjoy

Ordered and will have them next week. also ordered the dash mat, headlight protector, bonnet protector and iPod cable (which i got at a amazing price)
thinking about the side door protectors but have been told they are useless.

If it were me i'd swap the the leaf and scum catcher (a.k.a. bonnet protector) for the side door protectors.. Camerooney had them and thought they were o/k...

never thorght of that. is it really that bad? might have to change my order.
can they be taken off easily and put back on or is it a book you car in at the local Hyundai garage job?

Sorry, it's only my opinion but I bought a 6 month old Nissan Pulsar (with one already on it) in 2002 and soon ditched it ..
They are generally easy enough to remove (and some people like them) but I think they spoil the line of the car...
There is a thread on here somewhere about a better alternative....this is one of them

Yeah i hate the look of them but i also would hate stone marks on the car too. will check out the thread to see the alternatives :)
cheers for the info :)

Headlight protectors are easy to remove from the i30 for cleaning, the bonnet protector less so.
As Dazz says, they're good for catching leaves and other crap and if you don't clean behind it it'll look gross. I think in a world of painted bumpers it's a bit superfluous to have a bonnet protector.
To each their own tho. :wink:

Does anyone have any pics of the side protectors on the car. I'm looking seriously in to getting them but i would like to see them on the car and where they are placed.
Did a google search but found nothing and the one on the Hyundai site is a bit vague.
-
try the hyundai uk or nz site, :idea:
-
Cheers
Seems that the UK gets a fair few more accessories then Australia does.

I EMAILED THEM ABOUT SOME OF THOSE GOOD BITS AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO DEAL WITH HYUNDAI AUS :exclaim: :rolleyes:

Hi Trips..Photobucket is down but here's a few colours with side protectors (I'll re-host in photobucket when it comes back up!

I made two of them in photoshop a while back...(the blue and the grey...)

Cheers DAZZ, that was exactly what i was looking for. now I'm definitely getting them.
they give the car some extra styling and are practical.

did you put on your club decal yet trips.

did you put on your club decal yet trips.
not yet, have the next 2 days off so I'm going to clean the car and put them on then.
i did have the i30 owners club business card hanging around my neck all day today to see if anyone noticed. no one did unless i pointed it out, just goes so show that i could have a dead fish hanging around my neck and no one would notice... Hmmm might try that :P
