Oi, I'm Stijn!

Recently stumbled onto this forum so I thought I might aswell join it.
Bought my I30 ecoSport 1.6 about 4 months ago. 2nd hand though, I'll admit. It's been chiptuned from 90bhp to about 120~ bhp. Adding pictures later on this week!

edit: got reminded I actually have 1 picture so far when I was cleaning it earlier this week. Dont bash me for letting it come this far, we had crappy weather over here. ^.^

Hello Stijn and welcome to the best i30 club on the planet. I'm sure you'll get quite a bit of useful information and levity from the forum.

I can assure you that no one will "bash" you for your "half & half" i30 :lol: :lol:.

Everyone in this forum reckons all i30s look great, clean or dirty.

Welcome to the forums Stijn :D


Did you know there are (or should be) two small recesses on the inside of the hatch, which you can use when closing the boot :lol:
