Hello from Adelaide, Australia!

**August 16, 2014, 03:58:45**

Hi my fellow Hyundai i30-sters

Bought a brand new 2014 Hyundai i30 Active.
My car will be docking in Australia next Saturday and then will be able to pick it up as they polish and window tint my car.
It's really cool that there's a forum for Hyundai i30!

Hi there Tuvok

to the forum.

**Reply #2: August 16, 2014, 04:00:34**

Cheers Angel!

If possible cancel the tinting and get it done privately, the dealers put on an extra $300 if done though them.

**Reply #4: August 16, 2014, 04:16:30**

True. I was told by my mates that they add on extra cost but I wanted it done as soon as I pick it up. Yes, I know... am spoilt!
I did manage to negotiate and got the X-pack price down from $2,000 to $1,300... plus got the i30 floor mats for free.
BTW, these floor mats should come FREE to all i30!

CraigB · **Reply #5: August 16, 2014, 04:24:25**

They should be free I agree but unfortunately unless they are thrown in as part of the deal then all dealers ( of all brands ) charge for extras and over charge "heavily"

**Reply #6: August 16, 2014, 04:33:52**

Ridiculous if you ask me given that buying a brand new car is EXPENSIVE regardless what brand it is!

Well, I did get sucked in for their X-pack option. LOL!

CraigB, did you get any of their "official" accessories?

CraigB · **Reply #7: August 16, 2014, 04:37:00**

Only the dash and floor mats because the fit is better than after market copies.

**Reply #8: August 16, 2014, 04:46:51**

Cool! I found this guy from the net (based in TAS) called west sunshades, who does custom "good quality" sunshades for cars including Hyundai i30s. Charges $57 incld. postage for Hyundai i30 sunshades.

CraigB · **Reply #9: August 16, 2014, 05:05:25**

Sunshades! like a window sock

why do you need if you are getting tinting

The Gonz · **Reply #10: August 16, 2014, 05:17:25**

That's what we need, more ADL forum members.

Hi Tuvok and a warm welcome to you. I spent 21 years in Adelaide but turned traitor and am now a Gold Coaster and loving it. I am surprised nobody has said we will require photos when the new i30 arrives .

Cheers mate/traitor!

We should post our i30s pics! Am curious to see how "unique" they look.

Welcome to the club!! I've also found a useful source of genuine accessories to be eBay. There are some great deals out there. I purchased my dash mat, and chrome pedals from eBay.

Thank god for eBay hey.

I am tempted to fit chrome pedals too. Will it loose its grip when you step on with dress/work shoes?

Not at all. Mine has raised rubber grip bits in each pedal.
