Hi,
This afternoon I signed up for an SLX manual petrol i30 - I wanted hyper silver but was told there would be a 2 month wait - so tonight I've got to decide between that colour (and wait) or a vivid blue or continental silver - any suggestions?
I've also got a rear spoiler and window tinting - is the paint protection worth it?
I know I've got lots of unanswered questions - one thing for sure is that I'm excited to be getting a new i30.

Welcome dragonboy...

Congrats on your purchase.. Hyundai nearly always use Silver in their advertising and I think the SLX looks great in silver or Vivid blue for that matter.. Personally the only two colours I wouldn't have in Australia are black (although the mica black looks good it is a pain to keep clean and I reckon it would get very hot in summer) or red (because in Australia solid red just doesn't seem to cope with our harsh sun... )

Go with the spoiler by all means but if it's not too late try and get after market tinting you will save around $200 unless they are throwing it in..

I can't recommend paint protection modern clear coated metallics don't need it .. and it's just a money spinner for the dealers..

I would suggest that you search under paint protection and window tinting (separately) on this forum for more opinions.. they have been heavily discussed.

Cheers,

Dazz

Welcome.

First up, a friend of mine is in advertising.
He only ever buys the same colour car as the company runs their campaign in. He reckons it doesn't get any better than that.

I had limited choices for colour, and took the mica black over Red..  Black was on my list of DON'T get colours.
but, I was wrong, I'd buy Mica Black again in a heart beat.

For Dazz:  It's no harder to keep black clean than any other colour...  but it does show up the dirt more. A clean white car is no cleaner than a clean black one.

Yeah good point blue.. I thought I might cop some flack (from Shambles.. ) 

Just think black looks great when clean but loses it's looks as soon as it gets dusty or muddy which seems to show up very quickly (daughter had a black getz)
