i had to go to my dealers this morning with the father in law to have his car serviced [he cant speek english very well] and as i glanced into the fore court of the display area i noticed a cw with black headlights and black SLX snow flake alloys on it. the Vin tag on the windscreen started with a K so its a Korean model. it looked like it was an SLX with all of the usual bits. i asked the salesman who sold us our cars about it and he told me, that's how they are now,i think. :rolleyes: it was the only one in the yard that i could see that was like that. i will post some pics up later when the wife gets home as I'm not sure how to retrieve them from my mobile phone to the computer, damn computers.!!! :P :lol: :lol:
-
You mean alloys like mine?
I have the clear lights though not black.
Or is this just the cw?
-
yes the stock SLX alloys,I've heard them referred to as snow flakes. and they were black. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
-
Ohhhhhh you're saying the alloys were black too. That's interesting!
-
pics will be posted up tonight,the wife knows more about computers than me. :-[
-
Will be interested to see the pics........

-
and here I was waiting for them! :rolleyes: :lol:
-
sorry,my mobile phone hasn't got a cord to put stuff on our computer,so i send the pics to the wife's phone via bluetooth and she uses her phone to put them on our computer as she has a cord thingy. :wink:
-
<waits in suspense>
Not sure which I am enjoying more......
waiting for the pics, or the updates on the IT process used to get pics to a PC. :P
-
i can weld and fabricate anything you want from scratch,and I've built a few strong 10sec quarter mile engines also,but I'm a total novice on a computer. :-[
-
Well you could say that we are complete opposites then....
I have no idea about welding or engines, but love playing around with my Hard Disk...... :P
-
better late than never. :wink:

Are the wheels black? They look same as my 09 slx.
And I know calling them snowflakes was hearsay but snow crystals have a base of six "spokes" not five. Oh, well... the headlights look good. :D
-
if you look closely at the top pic,look at the car on the left ,and compare the rims,i know there isn't much to see but they are black when your actually standing next to them.i actually thought when i first saw them that it was brake dust on them. :eek: and here's something i just noticed , the roof bars are color coded.
-
Interesting update.. Thanks steve.. We will need to swap those attachments to a host at some stage or we could lose them... :cool:
-
i have all of the pics I've ever posted up stored in my computer and on an external hard drive,do i still need to do what you suggested.?

It is a bit more fiddly to host them but better in the long run..I can fix it later if I remember.. :wink:
-
I wonder if the update includes a U2 and bluetooth in the audio unit... Long overdue if you ask me.
-
Headlights are the same as the ones out of the Nosovice factory.

And the 6 speed box would be nice also :mrgreen:
-
other than the rims,lights and color coded roof bars it looked like a normal i30 cw.the badge on the rear looked like a normal crdi one.the interior even looked as per aus i30.
-
Sounds like a closer inspection of the Hyundai Australia website might be in order :wink:
-
my salesman when asked about it could only say,its different but nobody at the yard knew why. they also were asked not to touch it. :eek: oh,it was an auto not a manual,no 6 speed box. :'(
-
Interesting...still deciding whether I like it or not. The headlights don't match the fog lights now...
-

Yeah, the fogs need some black duct tape :mrgreen:

they wont work then. :lol:
-
open them up and spray paint them!
-
Hey, I just picked up my i30 yesterday its an slx crdi.
The rims match the paint and I didn't notice the headlights, but they seem to be dark like the ones you showed.

-
i assume your car is a hatch [no indicators in the mirrors] what country are you in.? :razz:
-
yeah its a hatch, in australia (almost left it as aus, but then I suppose Austrians do the same? ; D )
-
thats why i shorten australia to OZ. :wink:
-
have a look at the pics of the car I purchased on the last week.
Korean built, mid-May 2010

I'm amazed that our dealers know less than what we do about our cars,amazed. :lol: i mentioned the black headlights on an i30 meant it was a chech model and they looked at me funny. so now Korean built i30s are getting the black headlights, :cool:
-

An internationally recognised abbreviation for Austria would be AUT, where Australia is AUS.
-
the mystery is solved surrounding the black rims and headlights,its called an i30 trophy edition and its only a limited edition in Australia. i heard an add about it on the radio a couple of times during the week. :cool:
-
I met Member Jamiec from Burnie and had a cup of tea with him yesterday (good bloke drives as Camry :lol:) anyway .. he said he heard an advert about a special edition i30 the other day too (That must have been it :cool:)
Jamie is still keen to get a Diesel i30 some day...
-
