Did anyone have experience with Dunlop SP Fastresponse tyres ? I will change my Hankook for those on spring, most probably.

I don't have any personal experience, but take a look at the ADAC Tests further down:

--> 185/65 R15 H
"Very balanced summer tires.
Particularly well on dry roads.
Good on wet"


--> 195/65 R15 V
"Very balanced summer tires.
Very good in all safety-related disciplines.
Very quiet tires"


Click on each tire to see the score in test sub-categories.

Note that:
the lower the score, the better it is!
Score may vary from car to car.
You can't compare scores among different tests.
Final choice is up to you, according to your driving habbits :)

(*) ADAC-Urteil = Adac-verdict
     Trocken = Dry
     Nass = Wet
     Gerausch /komfort = Noise /Comfort
     Kraftstoffverbrauch = Fuel consumption
     Verschlei8 = Wear

I have decided to put a foil on the roof and rearview mirrors.

What collor do you think it would suit him the best ? I guess some bright color such as white (dirty white), gray or something... ? Does anybody know ? I am not much into color matching so i need help.

This is how it looks right now:




Can't find any i30 with a roof foil !! Do you have a picture maybe ?

I think Off White/ "Dirty" white would be my colour of choice  :goodjob: (If I find any Pix with "foiled" i30's I will edit this post... :winker:

Edit: Couldn't find any two tone i30's but did find this (now that is going a bit far!!)

Did you do it Ogi or get it done? Was it expensive and if you did it was it difficult?

I didn't do it, it was done by a proffesional. The price of the material was 80 euro (with 20% discount) and work was 30 euro.

It was a bit difficult to remove the antenna (we had to unscrew it from the inside, removing the upholstery of the roof) and roof strips for the roof box.

After that, it was easy.

No, definetly not. I think i won't do exterior anymore. I know it would look great with some stripes on the bonnet or something but first of all i can't make a racing car out of it becouse it simply is not like that, it has no sporting characteristics, it's only 1400ccm and also i am a family man with a child and i don't want to enter "trash area" in styling a car which is very thin as you know :), it is important to know when to stop, and above all, my wife wants to kill me even now, if i touch the car again i could face a divorce. :lol: :lol: :lol: I wanted to put the foil on moldings but we couldn't do it becouse they are glued so we couldn't take them of without making damage to the paint and put them back again...

Anyway, i would like xenon lights but i can't mount them becouse of the law and i would also like some visible sport exhaust (only the rear part) but i don't know if it can be mounted, do i need to cut the rear bumper, is it safe for the exaust system and so on...

I would also like the locks in the color of the car, not the black ones...

An idea to cover my car with carbon film has come to my mind a few times, there are only two things, which stop me from further actions: 1. the price - about 2000USD; 2. I wonder if that carbon film is available in dark blue, otherwise I would face some problems with reissuing the official papers of my car.

Cut the bumper for the exhaust!
