Here are a few photos from when I collected the car on Monday. Still sitting in the dealer's driveway before I even got in it.

Nice one TJ, I like the side strips as well.

Had those plates for a few years now. Previously had them on my Porsche 924 that I sold a while back. I could have gotten something like POR24 at the time but I figured that'd be too car specific & wouldn't make sense on another car. I finally settled on TJS65 (as in TJ's & my year of birth). Pretty lame eh! Shortly after I got them I figured out I should have gotten "JON35" (1 guess as to my last name).

Good one TJ (as everyone else has said ... YUM or something to that effect)

In case anyone was wondering, the front & rear skirts were $1300 painted & fitted. Probably a little expensive & I could have done without them, but I like 'em.

It's only money, mate!

Welcome, Mr Jones!

I feel silly now... everyone else passed

But at least it is the "1 guess"

The MS Body Kit is definitely nicer, but not available in Aus.

Nice i30 mate

The side strips look great.
They really set it off.

And they'll protect it too.
They do work surprisingly, when I had my i30 it was parked in a nice cosy end spot away from everyone else. But a few business people pulled up next to us and flung the doors open. One of them just touched the protector. It didn't mark luckily but if it hadn't have been there it probably would have.

How's it going M8? Nice to see you visiting..

G'day Dazz!

I'm going well thanks.
Busy as usual with work, but getting an extra long weekend this week so I'm happy...hehe

How is everything going?
The Golf is going really well, got some new rims on it Audi RS4's 17". They've set it off nicely.

Had a small trip today to a movie cinema about an hour or so away to see Nicholas Cage's new movie 'Knowing'.
It was a great drive. Nothing like going for a bit of a drive on the weekend. I drive in a lot of stop start traffic during the week so its good to give the car a run on the weekends.

Your Avatar picture is cool .. although I notice you still have a thing for "rears"...

tji30 · **Reply #17: April 20, 2009, 14:16:01**

More pics at last...

Love the illumination here.

Notice the sticker finally in place. The dealer's sticker took 2 full hours of scraping & soaking in hot water to get it off & it came off in tiny peaces. I can only hope the i30ownersclub sticker stays on half as well. On a side note, the ex checked out the sticker when I picked up the kids this arvo, rolled her eyes, shook her head & said "whatever"...

As I've said previously the front & rear skirts aren't as "aggressive" as the MS kit, but I think it sets off the side skirts of the SR nicely.

Love the way the sun shines off the chrome inserts...

Thanks for the pix .. Very nice ..the SR in white (yum)

The sticker served it's purpose then..

A hairdryer would have taken you 3 minutes

Figured as much but I don't have one (I trim my hair down to a #1 every weekend so you can imagine why) & neither of my daughters (14 & 11) use one so I was SOL there.

As far as I know you can get an SR in any of the available colours. Certainly the case here in Aus.

Hi 2i30s, welcome to the club

I'm guessing you own three i30's yes?

So, which part of Oz are you from, where they only offer red or blue i30s?

Dazzler · **Reply #24: April 25, 2009, 09:33:53**

Welcome to the club..2i30's..

We don't understand your query

eye30 · **Reply #25: April 25, 2009, 12:50:01**

Welcome 2i30's

Presume two times i30 = two cars?

2i30s · **Reply #26: April 26, 2009, 07:05:30**

He would have been telling you what was available at the time I reckon.. or what they were trying to get rid of...(Full colour range available in SR) although some overseas countries get a wider range of colours than Australia including Champagne Silver and a different darker red...
