Not sure exactly what you mean but try anygood auto shop ie. supacheap or auto barn. They carry a range of pin striping.

The missus thinks its ugly but i'm willing to disobey and find some anyway
Post by: Dazzler on July 27, 2008, 22:13:55
Think the auto accessory places will only sell the tape ... you could try upholsterers if you want something more substantial like a beading..
I used to disobey "directives" but I'm on my third missus now....

and i'm loving it
just hate the 1st and 2nd gear changes but otherwise the car is a beauty heh
Post by: Dazzler on July 28, 2008, 22:50:21
The 1st and 2nd Gear changes will improve in time (I've done nearly 10,000kms and they are much smoother now)

If it's that bad have a whinge at your next service....The problem is with the CRDi you don't have to change gears as often as in a little buzz-box so it takes a bit longer to wear the gearbox in ...
P.S. Don't forget to let us know if you do any good getting some red piping at the upholsterers...
Post by: ouri30 on July 29, 2008, 10:34:59
Even when (if) it improves, you will not notice the improvement. Any improvement will be gradual and very sutble over time. The only hope you have of detecting improvement would be to drive a new i30 and then hop into one that has done 20,000km. Any improvement will be obvious in this situation (assuming there is improvement).
I don't have an issue as I change just a few times in the lower gears and then it is 3-5 for most of my daily travel. Actually, it is 5th all the way excepting for the two towns at the beginning and end of the journey.

This can only be sorted out at dealers as you need to be careful as to the slack/tightness othewise you will always have trouble changing.
Post by: CHB on July 30, 2008, 04:58:45
Not sure if i'll bother with going to an upholsterer.. I wanted to order it off that korean type ebay website someone posted in another thread but i can't read korean!! Wouldn't mind that $98 spoiler too :) you guys are probably right that i won't notice it loosening up anyway..

Just wondered, how did you get on with the red beading. Did you look into it any further. I ask because I really liked that look and though I have know idea how I would install it, i would be interested if there was someone out there who does that sort of thing.

http://www.babomall.com/rd/index.html?pg=detail&uid=38381&step=nd&ca=ex&cb=ex-s06 is the link direct to the red pinstriping....but the prob is that the site isnt in english =( why arent there any english mod sites with all the mods that the koreans get =(
Post by: EymaTeapot on September 03, 2008, 12:03:21
That grey i30 with the red around the grille looks good. Mine is the same colour so am pretty interested, I dont think I would have the cofidence to attempt to install it myself. The black alloys with the red rims surounds just finishes the look nicely.

That looks like the stuff.
How does it attatch? I can read part of the label "special adhesive".
Is it self adhesive or do you use a glue?

Hey CHB,

Sorry, I haven't really followed it up any further. The car's kinda been moved into the background now since i'm trying to find a property to buy and a laptop !
link_1111 seems to have the link to the real deal. All we need is some korean speaking users on this forum!!

also, i think alot of us tried translating it, but the korean sites tend to use images with embedded text instead of text alone...but then regardless, in the end we still wouldnt be able to buy it...
but thx anywayz tiny!hopefully someone in aus might find a shop that is selling it. unless we have someone that understands korean and willing to import/export? lol..they could make a business out of it

Post by: EymaTeapot on September 25, 2008, 09:35:56
That looks sh_t hot.
Thanks link_1111 for the korean site, i will import if i have too as I am really like the look.
Where did you manage to get the moulding Tiny?
Post by: tiny on September 25, 2008, 11:38:02
i'm going to do a series of mods on the car, starting with the exterior, but i'm probably off topic so i'll post there after actually starting with the process.
Post by: EymaTeapot on September 25, 2008, 11:59:36
So did it just come from like a auto shop?
Car looks great by the way
Post by: tiny on September 25, 2008, 15:10:51
) the red thingy, i got it from a local .... it's like a big second hand car lot and has a lot of kitsch tuning accesories rimz and sh!7 but it has some good things too like quality spary paint and things like that. the funny thing is though, the chrome tape which i bought a long time ago, i got it from a home&garden interior exterior design and stuff..i don't know exactly the definition of this kind of shop it has furniture and accesories carpets wallpaper tiles windows lighting etc and tools for building and such...please accept my apologies i haven't spoken or writen by that matter in english for quite some time now...hope it helps

loving the work on your car tiny. i'm just waiting till your imagination runs wild
im really waiting to see your car somehow start looking like this http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babomall.com%2Frd%2Findex.html%3Fpg%3Dsub%26url%3Dallkind%26url2%3Dh52%26mf%3Dhyundai&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ko&tl=en damn..that doesn't look like an i30 at all..looks kind of like a squished version of a celica for some reason...but its a very sport bodykit...

I reckon the chrome trim looks good on your stereo and steering wheel. Gives it that extra touch of class I think. I can't say it stands out too much on the front grill though, maybe because of the already existing and outstanding chrome bit (with the Hyundai logo) above it. That's not to say it doesn't look better with it though - fits the part without looking like an aftermarket add on
Post by: Dazzler on October 01, 2008, 00:21:36
Don't know how well the strip around the grill will handle the weather... guess time will tell...
If I see some more cheap i'll get it (easy to apply and seems reasonable quality)

the last I had but I cut it a bit short...even though I made it the same length as the fist bit!) so I had to take it off :P
lol dazz, funny how identical lengths just aren't identical hey! I didn't notice the armrest bit before, but yeah that looks good too mate *thumbs up*
