Australia-Specific Kia Stinger Discussion

Hmm, the silver car has a door ding, a big one, I wouldn't want to park next to a major door dinged car. Well, I don't really want to park next to any car.

In the last few weeks, always seeing quite a few Mustangs, but quite a few Orange ones as well, is it a new release colour ?

I just remembered, I saw a black Stinger yesterday with a yellow stripe at the bottom of the doors. I didn't see it long enough to think if I liked it or not.

That's a Ltd edition "Rafa" model 2.0litre. 1 of 75.

Oh, I remember seeing that when I first starting looking at buying the Stinger. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Agree, hate parking next to people, but sadly I’ve found that even when I have the chance to park with multiple empty spots around me, my Stinger seems to turn into a magnet for every shitbox car in the area. I think only once or twice I’ve managed to return to my car and still have empty spots alongside it. Every other time someone has been drawn to it often closer than I’d like them to be.

I have to admit I have been lucky and most times a car isn't right next to me.

A couple of witches hats in the adjacent empty parking spots and a roll of your yellow “work” tape would fix that.

Just be careful where you put the air fresheners in the car. If you hang them up not touching the console or upholstery you will be ok.
Hubby was given one on Farther's day, he didn't hang it up ( he hates things hanging from the rearview mirror ) so he put it lying down on the middle console. Whatever is in the air freshener caused a chemical reaction and burnt the plastic in the console.

We were looking for a park the other day in the orange GT and there was an orange Mustang in the empty section of the carpark, I was almost going to park beside it, but they were leaving.

Here’s one on eBay, had to screen shot it, for some reason since Apple updates it won’t let me share the link.

@Ian Hall the Okami one that @Stinger GT SS has just posted is from Brisbane. I am waiting for mine to arrive I had to wait for him to have more shipped in as they go like hot cakes. I'm getting the Okami type G ducktail spoiler but I will be getting it colour matched to my car.The seller is great to deal with, communication is excellent so I certainly recommend buying from him.

Are they colour matching it before shipping or have you lined up someone else to do it? Big thing putting me off was not only international shipping but also then have to get someone to paint and install it.

Congrats, welcome aboard. I just got an email today from Kia promoting the limited edition Stinger Carbon Edition. Only thing I’m not a fan of in that is the alcantara steering wheel. I like the leather GT version in mine. Would be nice if you could have the option for which steering wheel you want.

Yeah, I looked at quite a few and all were in my view too expensive to send from overseas, especially after converting US currency or Euro into AU. As you know I had the wrong one sent from Korea, but he gave me a refund.This one coming I chose because @Bigbikes recommended him and he was local.
Getting a good panel beaters to do it, probs may have to head to Melbourne.Will also get them to install the front and side splitters Iv'e got.Been saving money so I can get it done.
