Worth the price just for the wheels,very nice indeed,at £21000 that’s an absolute bargain if I was in oz I’d get one 100% in white of course
Juat read there’s some on the road costs to include,even so it’s a steal for that money.

Yes, it does look nice. Imagine how much it would have been if released in the UK (and i20 N production hadn't stopped 2 years ago)? £30K?

Mind you, the new 'normal' i20 has been reveled, and don't hint well for any potential i20 N incarnation of it. It looks like a raised ride height, pseudo SUV, ugly, with elements of the latest gen KONA to boot, and bland like an EV

Yep I agree if released in the uk it would of had some ridiculous price tag attached similar to the last type R incarnation,that’s why I’ve kept my ST it’s the last of the truly affordable fun cars to be released,car prices now are just incredible.
 
Looking at the new gen 'normal' i20, it would be hysterical if they tried to make an N version out of that train wreck. Micheal Angelo couldn't work his magic on that marble. Maybe add the dry 7 speed auto only too 🤣

A few minor cosmetic differences. The wheels aren’t forged or claimed to be ultra light - they are just gold coloured aftermarket wheels! The side stickers are quite nice but very subtle.

I’d still having the choice for a couple of grand xtra go with the SE being 1/100 it will be an ultra rare thing with extremely good residuals.
But I agree it’s nothing more than spay painted wheels and a few stickers.

i thought i saw somewhere they are "flow forged" or something like that. pretty sure there are some japanese Wheel manufacturers like Work Wheels that say the same and gets better results than normal casting, but not the same as actual forging.

seen on a couple of Australian car review sites. not sure where they got the info though...
"plus 18-inch Shadow Edition matte bronze flow-forged alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero tyres"
 

Flow-Formed Wheels: The Best of Both Worlds​

Flow-formed wheels, sometimes referred to as rotary forged or spun forged, offer a compelling middle ground between cast and forged rims. This process starts with a cast wheel barrel, which is then heated and spun while rollers apply pressure to the inner barrel, stretching and compressing the aluminum. This re-aligns the molecular structure, similar to forging, making the barrel significantly stronger and lighter than a traditional cast wheel. The face of the wheel can still be cast, allowing for design flexibility. Flow-formed wheels provide much of the strength and weight benefits of forged rims at a more accessible price point, making them an increasingly popular choice for enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance without the full cost of a true forged set of wheels.
 
The alloys look less busy than the standard UK ones, and so much better than those horrendous latest face lift, diamond cut Australian standard ones. Pity they are in council estate bronze though.
