I'm on my third missus... They are always right (even when they are wrong)  :rolleyes:
Seems you've been wrong twice and the current missus only once.  She's ahead by my count.  :wink:

I'm hoping her track record will be subject to your discretion!

So that's the standard additional bodykit (front/rear skirts)?

Yep. Standard kit now available in Aus & available in the dealers accessories price book. If they say it's not available they probably haven't read/updated their book for some time (thats what initially happened to me).

As I understand it the kit was released initially but withdrawn due to quality issues. I believe it was re-released around the beginning of this year.

What body kit is on this thing? Is there anyone else here with a standard body kit on the SR? I'd like to see some photos of a non-white one, preferably a silver or steel grey one

Just looked at the i30 Accessories Brochure. The body kit is on the front cover. I nearly vomited :)

Because the front skirt looks horrific in comparison :)

TJ's SR (first page photos) has the standard AU kit

The silver one has the MS skirt (but it's an image from the Hyundai UK site, go figure)

The brochure page is completely different to TJ's. Hence my confusion :) The Hyundai website is as useful as tits on a bull when looking for photos :)

Took some more pics to show a couple of minor changes to the car...







The boss was getting all of the company cars signed just after I got mine & they are all white as well. He said jokingly in a metting for me not to leave my car sitting around too long or they'd do it as well. Some time after the meeting he approached me & offered to pay me if he could have my car signed as well. I checked with the signwriter & confirmed the stickers come off with the application of hot air & there is no damage to the paintwork. The boss has paid to have the car signed & will pay to have the signs removed. He ended up paying me $2000 in advance for 2 years worth!   8) :)

I don't think it's spoiled the look of the car at all.

Looks o/k  :wink: probably the easiest $2000 you'll ever earn TJ :D 

and your signage has worked already (I've checked out the website)

Just posted in cmonkey's thread as well...

Just noticed you have the SR badge on both front doors. Interestingly I only have it on the passenger door. Since mine is a 2008 model I'm wondering if that is one of the changes they made from the 2008 to 2009 model. Anyone else with a 2008 (MRHI30?) able to confirm the SR badge is only on the front passenger door?

edit...

Just checked out some pics of some other 2008 SRs (DaveI30 in particular) & noticed they also have the SR badge on both front doors. Guess I'll have to have a word to the dealer 'bout that.

Did it fall off or was it always like that?

Was like that when I picked it up. The first pics in this thread were taken at the dealers on the day I picked it up before I even got in it. You can clearly see the SR badge was not on the drivers door at that time. Don't know how I've not picked that up 'til now.

I'm guessing that someone liked the look of it and pealed one off without the dealer noticing...

They are a nicer badge than the cheapie SLX ones I pealed off...
