Today i heard from the guy from Hyundai that it is forbidden by law to "change" the look of the hood!?!? Can't believe it, must inquire!

The silver stripes do actually look nice. I personally wouldn't (and as obvious, haven't) put them on, but I kind of like how it looks.

Regarding your previous post.. In Slovenia, it is allowed, if I recall correctly, but till certain percentage (don't ask me the exact %, but you can cover/paint your car in other color/stripes, than written in your license till let's say 20% of "base color"). If your car is painted (also labels) with other color over that %, you must have it "approved" or as we say it - homologirat and "additional" colors must be "signed in". It's probably similar in Serbia..

Yes, i heard that too.

Now i want to coat the wheel and the gearshift knob with the leather but i am so frightened of taking the wheel and the knob off, i am afraid of some failure or something although i made a deal with official dealer to do that!!

Can something go wrong? Did anyone do this on Hyundai?

Wow he really does it well. I know a guy in Slovenia that's known to be "good" in that, but he doesn't do it as good as that one..

Lovely job, when I saw the red stitching it came to mind that the same idea with blue sports stitch would look amazing on mine or hippo's :cool: :cool: :cool:

Hi Ogi, is that an armster? If so, did you install it yousefl? Was it easy?

Yes, it is. I bought it at the official Hyundai dealer, cost 70 eur and they installed it for me, it took them about 3 minutes. :) It can't be easier. You need to make 8 screw holes and screw it up (four for the adapter and four for the armster).

What do you mean? I guess it is in the same place on the right wheel cars, just the opposite side, right?

It does not bother the handbrake at all !!! That is great becouse i was sceptic about it.

I don't have that hole for small things anymore becouse it need to be installed in it, they screw up the adapter in it and then screw up armster in the adapter. But i have one in the armster. Also, you can adjust the camber of it as well as extend it as you can see on the following picture:



All in all, great thing and very, VERY useful !! Makes driving much easier...
