• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

What did you do to your Stinger in Australia today?

Tested the load carrying ability, 10 bags of garden soil, 1 bag of mulch, 1 bag of cow shit. Fitted in the boot quite well, could definitely feel the difference with all the weight in the back driving home. No issues though

Bloody hell mate! Stick to hoarding toilet paper like the rest of the world! You’ll give yourself a hernia!:laugh:

If you weren't sleeping on cruise day we could help you spread it!

Swapped out the rear door handles with smart door handles. All wired up to the BCM, led lights and switch functional.
Where did you get the extra set of front door handles? I would love to do this mod too. Did they come color matched too?

There is a guy in New Zealand on the Facebook Kia Stinger Owners Club Australia/NZ site that is making & offering kits.
If you do Facebook go onto this site & search “door handles” & you will find it.

Ah gotcha. Thanks. I don't do Facebook anymore. Does he ship to the US? If he does I might reactivate my FB account to contact him.

I’ve just been messaging him, he just finished fitting these to his second Stinger & I have suggested posting the details here on the forum.
He is still finalising development & I’ve given him the link to this forum so I would expect he would post something soon.

FYI, this was his first Stinger a SWP he did, he now has a micro blue.

I love that. I don't know why it bothers me so much that the rear handles dont light up, but it does!

Yes it does look good & functional as well.
 
Should I delete the cat? And which one? IMG_20200320_213724.webp
And yes, I can fit under the car when it's like this. Lol

There’s enough shit spread across the Central Coast :p

Thanks for the offer but it’s done. Filled 2 garden beds I picked up from Aldi of all places, transplanted 3 chilli plants and a basil plant into one of the gardens from where they were in the ground and covered that area with patches of Sir Walter from my neighbour’s yard that he had to dig up yesterday as his wife wanted a new garden put in. Now just have to plant a bunch of herbs that the wife wants in the second one, but that’s a problem for another day

Hope you hung a magic tree in the car after having all that crap (pardon the pun) in your car. Phew.

I don't think a bag of manure is ever going near my Stinger. :poop:

No, no residual smell at all, wasn’t in there for long, maybe 10 minutes tops. Only the 1 bag of manure, the rest of it didn’t really smell.
