Hello everyone
I got carried away with myself after looking at some of those Korean pics and i decided that i would like to change the look of my front end.
I ordered some matt black vinyl from E-bay for about a fiver and got to work sculpting some stickers.
Took me a few attempts to get it right but i love the outcome.
I saw the stickers here  and decided to make my own http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Fog-Lamp-Hall-Cover-Sticker-08-11-Hyundai-i30-/200645343477?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2eb764f8f5

The effect looks great but have you covered the air holes?

If so, will this not cause the engine to overheat tho' given the temp here at momemnt it will have to go something to happen.
  • 1.4 Petrol Active I'm no expert, so please correct me if

No the air holes in the spotlight inserts are not covered up just a pity i aint got spotlights  :mrgreen:

any chance of a larger pic? kind of hard to see :(

The fog light blanks are not air holes, well not of any interest to that for the engine. unless you are running a Cold air intake from them to the air box

Here is a close up pic of one side of my car , when you cut the first sticker out of your vinyl just turn it over and draw round it to get the identical sticker for the other side . :goodjob2:

Dont know if this will help but you could try printing this template out that i have scanned for you.
When i printed it out it was slightly smaller than the actual template, but it should get you off on the right track

It should be ok in the weather as its made from the same stuff that vehicle lettering is done with  :goodjob2:
Fingers crossed  :lol:

I like how simple this mod is. It works well because the center of the bumper is also black. I might have to do this.
