Mrs Dazmit's new I30

dazmit · **October 05, 2010, 10:58:35**

Hi All

After asking a few questions and receiving some great info I thought I'd better post up a short intro and some pics.
We were looking for a economical runabout and settled on the diesel I30 and purchased a new "poverty pack" CRDI manual - great little car with only the crappy feeling steering wheel a negative.

Here's a couple of pics.

Cheers

Darryl

As of tomorrow it will have some 17" SX rims fitted and window tint on Friday.
When I get some spare time I also have a rear spoiler to fit.

To fix the steering wheel a motor trimmer will be covering the steering wheel in leather for approx 4200 and we optioned the Hyundai leather gear knob.

Will post more pics when the mods are done.

Not sure if i'll get to drive it much though as it was intended for the wife

Cheers

Darryl

white FTW!!!

why can't Mrs Dazmit drive to the meetup? sheesh

welcome Darryl

dazmit · **Reply #8: October 13, 2010, 01:20:28**

Thanks for the comments

I agree white is the best color.

Now it has stopped raining for a bit, I'll take some more pics now it has the alloys, tint and the rear spoiler.
speaking of spoilers - the dealer quoted $600 for a spoiler fitted so I bought one from the dealer for $290 and fitted it myself in under 30 minutes - wonder if I get a job fitting spoilers as it's not bad money at $310 for 30 minutes

Cheers

LOL how did you get the spoiler $12 cheaper than me!

*agent walks off grumbling* my mate must not be giving me trade price...

dazmit · **Reply #10: October 13, 2010, 12:00:20**

Well I've bought a lot of Mitsubishi parts for my Triton from the same Parts lady and she started giving me good discounts and then we bought the I30 from that dealer so I see her for all the accessories and filters etc.

cheers

Darryl

I don't even have a brown cardigan (I have a snazzy red one though)

For the LAST TIME I don't drive a Camry (I drive a HYBRID )

Yep.. I did a nice Moonlight Blue Manual CRDi and it was a cracker of a car (possibly the best I have had out of 26 .. in most ways)
