Intro and photos of our new i30
It is a MY11 SLX cw with 1.6 CRDi Auto (July 2010 Build)
Colour is Clear Blue (code N2U)
Options are tint, mud flaps and tow bar
Note the colour of the mags have changed to the bronze from the Trophy

[2i30s]

very nice color.    i notice you've got reverse sensors on your cw. are they expensive to have fitted?

[Lorian]

Great looking car

Thanks, I had ordered a "Sky Blue" however the colour changed with the intro of the MY11. It was a pleasant surprise along with the change in wheel colour.
Rear parking sensors are standard on the Australian SLX.

[Shambles]

Outstanding

[bumpkin]

Very nice

[agentr31]

wow... i didnt know rear parking sensors are standard fittment!

nice ride BTW

[Dazzler]

A very distinctive vehicle .. well done
 
That is an unusual colour and the tinted windows tie in nicely with the bronze alloys...

[Lorian]

If I had alloys that colour I wouldnt have to clean them so often....

Hi and welcome de Bounce

Given the heat in your neck of the woods I take it the lighter blue may keep the inside cooler

Nice!  8)

I just like light blue.
It should reflect the heat better and appear to stay cleaner for longer.

The i30 shares the household with my other toy

Nice "toy". .

That is a bit spooky From the photos the colours are very similar (that would make my wife happy - she has a real thing about everything matching )

[Lorian]

I think he had the i30 sprayed to match 

It would nice to have a photo of them side by side.....

[eye30]

The soft top looks so cool.

Not much call for these in UK unless you want to get a shower while driving

[clackerz]

Nice colour BTW.
Starting to see a few of these newer i30's running around here in OZ....

Hi debounce and welcome.
What area of Oz are you in.
Also great to see a motorkhana on something other than bitumen.
I gave them away when the grass ones seemed to fade away. Have they made a comeback? I'd love to have a go in my i30.

[de Bounce]

Thanks again for the warm welcome and the compliments.

We have found a name for our i30 cw 'The Tardis'
I'll try and get some photos this weekend of the i30 and MX5 together for a colour comparison.

Unfortunately dirt and grass Motorkhana's appear to be a unique feature of the Victorian (Australia) Motorkhana scene. I'll start another thread regarding Motorkhana to keep this thread on topic.

[cafstar]

very nice car! Great colour, even though i do prefer the black my self

Welcome to the club!

[Dazzler]

The Tardis is a good name...

[Surferdude]

The Tardis suits.
I continue to get people commenting on how I manage to fit a 9'4" surfboard inside my hatch.

[agentr31]

LOL has it got a broken "chameleon circuit"

[de Bounce]

The two Blues
When they are together, the blue's are different
Will try and get a photo with the sun on them!

They look much better in the flesh.

[Dazzler]

Thanx for the picture the Mazda is almost Aqua in that photo seems to have more green in it (a very nice colour)

[agentr31]

mx5 FTW 50/50 weight balance!!

is yours turbo by any chance?

[Lorian]

Nice family photo. We have two blue cars too, that are just a shade or two apart.

It is a stock standard NB, would have loved a SE or SP
It goes hard enough around the track!

and hiding in the background is the thorn (between two roses) a 2003 White Pulsar/Almera hatch

[babis_xo]

A nice approach on cars (and in motorkhana too) 

That is an unusual colour and the tinted windows tie in nicely with the bronze alloys...

...an artist's note

[de Bounce]

Just had the 1000km service done with no mechanical issues so far.
Found a nail in the tyre though, not a good omen!

Had the service centre disable the Follow me Home lights.
With the light switch in the on position, the lights go off when the ignition is turned off and on when the ignition is tuned on.

Also asked about 2 stage unlock (1 press drivers door unlocks, 2nd press all doors unlock) appears this is not an option.

Does anyone have a list of options the service centre can set?

[accim]

Nice color Haven't seen it before.
