Title: It's finally here...
Post by: hornbill on April 24, 2011, 11:37:01: Hi folks, it's been a while but my wait is finally over....

Got the car late Thurs, got paint protection done Friday morning, still got few things to add on but I manage to squeeze few quick pics for you all...

- compliance date : April 11

Accessories/add-ons so far...

- mud flaps : not shown as I just fixed it today (took me a while, long story this one... but it's all done!)

Things to add next...
- tinting - will do this when tint prof open for biz after Easter..

Post by: Dazzler on April 24, 2011, 11:49:25: Hi Hornbill..Congratulations, it's all good :goodjob: (except 1 small thing I'll mention in a moment :winker:)

Like I suspected the Hyper Silver looks fabulous with the titanium wheel finish and the paint protection sure give a great shine..

Now for that 1 thing... If you get a chance can you re host those pix via photobucket or imageshack as per instructions by Bumpkin in the Welcome Thread (when you get a chance) Mainly so they don't get lost .. :hatoff:

Post by: hornbill on April 25, 2011, 03:57:59: Thanks guys. Yes, it was worth the wait. I'll check out the photobucket option..maybe grab better pics outdoor when tinting is done.

Post by: FatBoy on April 25, 2011, 04:00:39: I like it!! :goodjob:

I do like the Titanium Wheels with the Silver (but then I am biased). You will find that the tinting really makes it look fantastic!! I will get around to taking some photos of mine one day.

Post by: hornbill on April 25, 2011, 04:42:39: Yep Fatboy, I look forward to see how it looks after tinting. Darkest legal would be my pick, if the match is good...

Post by: hornbill on May 02, 2011, 13:52:49: Hi guys,

I took few more shots of the new baby, before and after tinting at 2 different places, did some of that photobucket steps above (but I didn't follow it to a tee though, sorry), but hopefully it worked (seem to work when I tested it).

I'm not a proffessional photographer so, apology if the angles are not quite photogenic..

1st 6 pics are taken at one of the Yarra Valley winery over the Easter weekend (w/o tinting ON), and remaining pics are taken in the city after Easter (w/ tinting ON).

Hope you can see them clearly...and like it.. :) Noticed the mud flaps in there?? I put them on myself! :lol:

So, without further a do...here they are:-

Title: Re: It's finally here...
Post by: hornbill on May 03, 2011, 00:02:08: Thanks.

Dazz, you're right. Was originally considering the Octane film (35% dark) but when I went onsite and learn a it more abt the F1 film, it's SPF 50+ protection, it's thickness etc, I decided to go for it - although I have to pay extra.

Main reason being, we're expecting a baby soon so health is more important to me than the looks. :) Especially when the baby skin is so delicate...

The F1 film is 40% dark according to the guy, so it's only marginally lighter than the Octane when I look at the samples side-by-side.

Hope I made the right voice with this one. Anyone else here has the F1 film on their car?

We don't have a maximum on the number of babies you can have in Australia :P

Post by: hornbill on May 04, 2011, 12:44:39: So glad we're not in China. Else, if you bought an i30 there, you're not allowed to have another baby... :lol:
