Yeah I've only seen maybe 5 of the MK6 whilst I've been here, even less on the MK5. I wasn't even in the market for one then when he called me about it for the price I couldn't really say no. I would of wanted white but a white car in the desert would be orange in a week! Plus it's a 5 Dr which...
It's like the clear film stuff it's super thick and people put it on their bonnets and front bumpers over here especially in Arizona to protect it from stone chips and dust storms, same stuff they put on helicopter blades apparently
Was having a lot of problems recently with the Kia like it's been in Kia 4 times since owning it for things like the break lights not working, cruise control not working and the most dangerous is the air stopped blowing so no Air Conditioning and when it's 46/50 Celcius on a daily basis then it...
Haven't seen a rattle snake yet actually, seen a bunch of Xila Monsters, scorpions and coyotes though, also the windows tinted today, a must in this heat, looks a lot nicer, eibachs should be on within the next week or so
You got out before the heat then haha I'm actually going up towards flagstaff this weekend, going to sedona doing some cliff jumping and hiking the creeks.
thanks, I'm really starting to like it, also it handles well and looking forward to dropping it a little on the eibachs
I will do it's in Celsius haha right now it's like 27 but will get to 36-37 by 4 o'clock and highs in the summer last year it was 48-51 for about 50 days straight, it's not like Spain where it's hottest noon-2pm it gets hottest here at like 2pm-4pm
Tempted to remove the Koup badge and paint the silver part black so it's the red K and the rest is black but not too sure yet. Also need to get the windows tinted before summer really kicks in
Switched the badges out today from the Kia ones to some new style 2014 Kia badges, looks so much nicer!
Had to do it fast as it's so hot out today it's insane, sweating just walking taking the rubbish out, no fun at all!
Old ones
Also took off the forte badge, new look
And the rear...
Maybe he has a bonnet bra to protect his paintwork?
A ton of porple have them over here on just normal cars because of all the dust and stones also he's a very lucky lad!
And thanks for the positive comments, I will get an interior picture today, the seats are sports seats and super comfy, like half cloth half alcantara/suede. they really hug you in, really nice to drive in
I like them for now, they suit the colour really well.
I was reading up on the car and apparently Kia actually hired Audi's old head designer and this was his first project which is pretty cool, the side on shape reminds me of the 2011 camaro just bigger.
Badges should be arriving today, will...
i would love like a jeep or something but just not my style yet, and getting through a drive through in that thing! No thanks haha
Money down and financed the rest yes, is that a problem?
thabjs mate, yeah everything is well actually. Just loving life at the moment!
Haha yeah it's smart...
See a bunch like this over here, would look good on the smooth roads we have here in the US but for England its too low but not my car so as long as he's happy.
just updated it sir, will do a full update tonight when i get back from work but life is good mate yeah and yeah the kia is super nice, im actually surprised by how nice it is inside as well.
Not been on the forum in a while.
Still out here in Arizona. I was first driving a PT Cruiser which was horrendous, then got myself a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4L with 244k on it and it died 3 months later in a Taco Bell drive through, luckily I only paid about $400 for it.
