I live at the end of a col-de-sac and if i get a FIRE i need to get out that's why she parked that way, also i have good people living in my road who knows i need to get out (guess they don't what a knock on the door 3-4 in the morning with me saying" can you move ya car") but yes shes a fine looking girl

Shambles · **Reply #4: September 05, 2009, 23:58:09**

Hemmi · **Reply #5: September 06, 2009, 00:13:28**

Looks good

Sweet, I wish we had the option to get that exhaust here in Australia, makes the car look really nice IMHO.

hipposniper · **Reply #7: September 06, 2009, 00:23:13**

why don't they have that ops, - do you have the sports kit or similar

bumpkin · **Reply #8: September 06, 2009, 15:48:19**

Great car Ray

cheers M8, fine looking car youself ( wife would let me have stripes, boo Ho

) But i did win over the sports version

Zhangster · **Reply #10: October 31, 2009, 23:25:44**

yeah that exhaust looks damn awesome... was Ur's born with it? and what is the price range for it?... and is it just fitted on stock rear bumper? I'm thinking about the clearance?

Goldfish_8 · **Reply #11: November 01, 2009, 15:15:31**

The exhaust tips are fake

They are just part of the rear valance, I have the same kit on my car, though would like to get a proper twin exit exhaust at some point. The body kit attaches to the existing bumpers and side sills, and lowers the underside by about 40-50mm over the standard car.

Hipposniper shouldn't have as much of a problem with ground clearance, as it looks as though he still has the standard ride height, I do have issues, as I have the factory lowering springs, which lower between 25 and 35mm, so have to avoid kerbstones, especially in car parks, also some older car park access ramps can be a bit too steep and there'll be the odd little scrape from underneath at the front, also some speed bumps give cause for concern!

Yep, same kit as mine and Hemmi's too, but Hemmi is the only one so far to have fitted a proper dual exhaust

Clearance is fine

Very nice Hippo. Looks really good.

Hemmi · **Reply #14: November 01, 2009, 17:07:10**

yup, I replaced the fake ones,

The fake ones look good but I couldn't stand having something fake

Kind of silly to see no smoke from them

You know what I mean, when it's cold outside.

Well done , I have the same problem with my wife wanting to drive ~~ours~~ mine! do like the colour, but, I think cars fitted with this kit would look even better without the black fog/rear bumper inserts, just leave it standard. Do they just stick on?

Like this, I know it's not the same kit.

https://www.i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php/topic,2848.0.html

Any thoughts, for or against?

hipposniper · **Reply #22: November 05, 2009, 22:36:23**

I do like it, did see it on the CW, but i love the black bumper guards (Standard with sports kit), match's nice with some covers i fitted
