Yes, in Serbia it's called "i30 facelift" :) maybe in other countries too, not sure.
Also side skirts are giving the look and this was not the case with same car in one year ago, let's say...
I am just waiting for rims to arrive and i know that it will look even better  :goodjob2:

Hello and welcome, WlayCo. Your car looks very nice and will look even nicer with the new rims. I'd go 18" if I were you. I have them on my CW wagon and they look fantastic.

To be honest, i kno how much better looking would be 18" rims but...i want my car to be comfortable for me and my family (1yr baby). Unfortunatelly, roads in my country are too bad for that big rims, trust me :) + 18" tyres are way too exepnsive... :)

Don't forget also that 18 " would be considerably heavier
Would turn 109 hp even slower

Here are some more pictures of the car: https://picasaweb.google.com/108887676646176382816/HyundaiI30#
Pay special attention to rubber dashboard, blue details on the headlights and winter tyres just mounted ;)

Nice pictures. Really like silver i30's, it reminds me of my ex ;)

Nice tires you've mounted on the car. And I see you have RATI Armster armrest  :goodjob: I've had it in my previous i30 for 3 years (100k km), before that, I had it for a year in Hyundai Accent (60k km), just with a different adapter, and now, my girlfriends father is using it in his i30 (for about 2 months now). It's quality is really great and it even looks very very nice. Of course, it also does the job as it should.

PS: Which rubber dashboard are you talking about?  :-[

Yes, armrest is really good. I didn't have it on any previous car but i will have it on all my cars from now on ;)

When you look at the dashboard, it is made half of solid plastic and other half is strange.
It is either soft plastic either solid rubber. When you press it your finger can go slighly in it.
I am reffering to the parts like on the picture below:

Or maybe i am just trippin' :)
