By the time you've bought the stinger & the exhaust and the window tint (needs it) and then insured it.....you could probably have bought a plane....

Madman on your visit today, if you are, can you find out or even take a pic of the FRONT Lic Plate Block.
Curious to know what size it is (Width), will look stupid here with my Personalised plate measuring 84mm height x 372mm width.
Does it come from Korea with it or is put on by the dealer. I just hope they put it on here, if so, I can make sure they put on something to my size.

Also do the Brembo Brakes (discs itself) are they Drilled with holes or slots or even just plain(clean).

From what I understand and from the pics I've seen it's neither. They are not vented.

Hey guys. I know we've talked about it before - but I'd like to get serious about setting up an Australian focused section so you can have various conversations without having to keep them all in one discussion thread. Anyone interested in this PLEASE send me a direct message and let me know. I'll set up a little "committee" so we can all hash out the details and figure out what works best for you. Thank you very much!

Right, now to work out how to send a "direct message". Thought I was usually pretty direct.....

 

[Sting]

That's exactly what I was thinking!!! LOL

Right, I'm off to test drive a rocket.....

 

[Sting]

Can't wait...
Oh, curious to know how low does the car sit/stand (compared to your height?)... ready to prance!
I am only a sml guy, 5'4"

Mate you’d be able to stand up inside it!

 

[Sting]

On another note/topic, wan't to know what others can suggest, input your opinions/thoughts on DASHCAM for front/rear?
I have searched and researched many sites but just thought I ask here as well. I know this is a KIA STINGER FORUM, but hey with the knowledge of all you experts just thought I ask.
Specifically, Professional/Competent and someone who pays attention to detail to install these dashcams here in Sydney.

Ha ha LOL, you are so funny!
FYI, i was thinking of doing that.
Also I can hardly see over the steering wheel, was thinking of getting a motorised cusion too. Good they have 360* Cams!

Has anyone gone for a test drive in Melbourne area. If so a what dealership has a stinger. Going to be in Melbourne this weekend and hopefully get close to one

 

[Terra]

So Madman, how was your test drive?

Have to say I was very impressed with the whole package.

Except paying more for the optional exhaust.

Maybe he got "stung" and has taken it across the border otherwise he should have been back by now??
