What did you do to your N today ?

Tried wrapping my front grill using a kit sold by finest folia in Germany.

Spolier alert: it's absolute toss!

Luckily I had a backup plan! Spare grill and spray can.

Front bumper being fixed end of next week.

Waiting for my russian snorkel then front of car will be getting a mild makeover when bumper removed from car:
Lower bumper wrapped gloss black
Gloss black grill.
Fit the snorkel once received.
New intercooler grill piece to replace damaged one.

But now I see airtec have just released a new intercooler that's much cheaper than Forge/Wagner etc. Hmmmm.......

When you say lower bumper wrapped in gloss black - do you mean the pinstripe or the textured plastic? I've thought about what the textured plastic would look like if it was wrapped as I think it will look a bit weathered/cheap after a couple years - would be interesting to see it wrapped!

Nah. The colour coded painted section between intercooler grill and lower bumper trim/pinstripe.

Had front bumper fixed. Fitted new intercooler grill piece when bumper was of to fit snorkel.
There was still a visible mark where the fix is (impossible really not to be due to the crack location) but its all back in one piece.

Applied some gloss black vinyl over the fixed area, its the same width as the lower grey grill surround piece section, I did try and make it the full length of the intercooler grill piece but it looked "wrong" to me. Didn't tie on with anything else on the front.

Re-fitted the Hyundai "spectacles" and vinyled the top piece only of the grill surround gloss black. Again, something different and I did do the whole surround gloss black but again it was too much with all the other black bits, I think the oem grey now adds a nice contrast, I may change it again later on.

Fitted the pillar decal set I got from our good man @Bu11eT Really easy to fit, subtle and I've had to filter the crap out the pic to make it show up (just). The gloss black ties in nicely with the mirror caps and rear spoiler on a white car.IMG_20200624_085538095_HDR.jpg

Gloss black + direct sunlight + shadows + reflections + dirty car = shoddy pics I'm afraid :rolleyes:

Happy to see the decals on the car, way better than having them rott away somewhere between all of my stuff.
Looks good on your N! 👌

Mounted the alcantara shift boot and shift knob. They look quite good. :) 👍

I have been scouring the internet for months trying to find these. I have the i30N and I understand the boots are different shapes on the Velo and the i30, but do wherever you got them from sell i30N boots too? Such a nice, subtle mod but makes a huge difference! Looks really nice man.

Available from eBay. German seller but very quick delivery to UK

Search "i30N shift boot" and they'll come up. Available in different stitching colours.

You mean one like this from eBay?

No, these are N-Performance units made for the VN. Hyundai N-Performance doesn't produce them for the i30N.

Ahhh okay that makes sense. I've found one on eBay thanks to NULLOBANDITO so will order that ASAP and get it fitted. Annoyingly I can't seem to find the gear shift knob either. Any pointers as to where I might be able to pick one of these up? Sorry for the 21 questions I'm just curious as to where to get parts like this from. Thank you
 
No problem and your welcome. If you don't know it's best to ask questions. I think most everyone here will always attempt to give you a good and faithful answer.

I believe your best bet is to order the ones @NULLOBANDITO posted on eBay.

Here are some more;

Really looks great, very pleasing to see. Such a change as well. I take it this is the SC Grage Works pieces? The do make a difference for sure. Wonderful job of updating. :) 👍 Have a few of mine to install as well. :)
Thanks @RVN. Yes the steering wheel and the interior trim pieces are from SC Garage Works. I am satisfied with the way how the interior came out. 👍🏼 My next potential mod might be the N Light Sport Bucket seats.
 
Oh you're welcome always!!:)

I have an idea Mr.s Kim can get them but the shipping cost would be outrageous. I'm going to wait until they are released with the DCT VN and see of they're the same as shown in South Korea. I'd like to retain the OEM airbag functions.:)

Yes which is what exactly what I am doing right now. Me and Mr.Kim have been in talks since early March and now we are both waiting to see if Hyundai of America will sell the N Light Sport seats.
 
In the last two days I drove from Sydney to Melbourne along the coast to go see my in-laws who my wife and I haven't seen in over six months! Had a great trip, finished the break-in period, but had a VERY CLOSE CALL with a kangaroo :oops:
