Kia Stinger - Australia discussions (pre-release)

[Stinger GT SS]

Hi all new to the forum scene so be gentle...I am awaiting the arrival of my GT in Silky Silver c/w BNL interior, dealer tells me ship due to arrive 23/11 so I’m hoping to take delivery early Dec. looking forward to following this cars progress.

Funny you mention it. My sister just moved to Hobart, the idea was to drive down and catch the ferry. But now January is out. The silence from the dealership is deafening. They told me new customers they're quoting 4 months, that has to be horseshit.

Oz,
I ordered my car August 2 and the dealers online shipping portal just updated last weekend with a VIN for my order so he is telling me the car is now built and on the water. I dont expect to have an actual delivery date until it reaches my local port when the dealer portal should update again with all other details. So hopefully mine is weeks and not months away but still cant be sure yet. The waiting game continues...

Thats positive, as per Richard's docos it took 11 weeks from Korean port to Aus dealership. Might be an indication. Not sure if Aus ports close over Xmas?

Just thought we could start with the ones currently 3 maybe 4 so far and slowly build up a STINGER CLUB!

A CLUB, you say? A club... I'm working on a top secret project you may like - if you're thinking of starting a club, anyway... Interested?

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up... I hope your Stinger arrives on schedule. Only a couple of weeks away!

Kia Stinger it sounds good to me are you still looking at getting a stinger. You just got to bite the bullet mate.

 

[BlackGhost]

So, for kicks I thought I'd see how white reflective tape would look over the red side reflectors .... given my GT is SWP, I thought it might blend in well, and still be compliant for insurance etc

... Answer - not great.... I've gone back to red.

 

[Terra]

Yea agree, back to red......

 

[Kia Stinger]

I thought it looked okay with the silver or gray reflective tape. But don't they have white reflective tape?

Yes, I am all for it.

 

[Kia Stinger]

Okay. There's a beta test beginning any day now. I'll get you in on it.

I think you'll find my prices here hard to beat. As mentioned before, just give me two or three weeks as I'm initially having them shipped over from South Korea. From there, as always, I'll be shipping items out the same day you order unless it's past 9pm eastern time - which goes out first thing the following morning.

Im interested in the wheel caps as well ..............

See my message above.

any word on the steering wheel air bag covers ???

I'm unable to obtain these at the moment but when I do I'll add them to our store page and let you know...

 

[westcoastGT]

Great work !!

 

[westcoastGT]

I thought it looked okay with the silver or gray reflective tape. But don't they have white reflective tape?

Try cutting it off at the seam and see , you would still have a portion of the side reflector and then get a better match with vinyl ??

Hi,
can you please clarify a couple of things here I am also interested in purchasing from you:

Is it the 19" wheel caps now listed on your online store that you are still 2-3 weeks from having in stock and are they $9.99 to post to Australia?

Is the steering wheel air bag cover the Korean domestic market version with E badge and if so what is the process with installation

Thanks,

Tazz

I don't know much about the steering wheel badges but I'll be very descriptive once they come in. They're not yet available.

Honestly, I'm not sure what the shipping to Australia is going to cost. I think $9.99 is optimistic but I'll eat the cost if it's any higher than that - and then adjust the price accordingly for future orders...

OK thankyou,
So are the 19 inch wheel caps available now or 2-3 weeks away
