scliat Neutral Newbie October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Hi guys! I'm new to this group. Have been following this thread for awhile as it's interesting and very informative! Gotten my COE bidding last week for my Temptation Red K3 SX Sports, should be registering car by end of the month. Will be holding on to my stock HU as I have decided to go for aftermarket HU. However, I am worried that my steering wheel control may not be compatible with a 3rd party HU. Any bros out here that changed to a 3rd party HU and is still able to use the stock steering wheel control without problem? Thanks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurpsexx 6th Gear October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 Yeah mine kenna poo also and resulted etching as a splatter. Smooth to touch but can see the etching. Wandering my coating is defective. My front logo side also have rough patch around the region. All are not visible unless view from side angle. Supposing self healing as advised by agent but dun see improvement. Have to go back this weekend for inspection. I've just rubbed off the yellow stain using the turtlewax swirl cream.. works la.. but i won't go ape over the coating, as it is not permanent.. I cover my car daily as I work in Tuas and lots of dust n smog ard.. thats the best protection for me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricleosg 4th Gear October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 Haha i haven'waxed my car in 6 months since my 1k servicing. For those without PPS how often do you wax the car? For those with PPS would you still wax or top up some PPS product periodically?

Yea, the yellow bird shit hurts my paint the most too. Thought it was the wax I use, so now it looks like the factory coating that KIA uses, doesn't work well with yellow bird shit. hahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancerGT Neutral Newbie October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 New to group...have been reading all the interesting posts on the K3. Got my COE 1st bidding for Oct. for my new Forte K3 SX Sport (metal stream). Will be registering car end this month. Any idea if C&C's Zertona Paint Protection is the same quality as the other PPS like Ceramic Pro? Zertona protects paint color only. Does not provide scratch resistance at all, not even 5H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therealdeal Neutral Newbie October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 (edited) Dear bro and sis, Need the pro advice by you all. I paid for a K3 (basic) almost 4 COE bids ago. COE then was roughly 57k. I thought I got a decent deal but the COE bid keep failing. Worse so now, since Cat A is only roughly 55k. Why did the agent bid so low? The agent told me that they were bidding at about 50-52k. Didn't I buy the car with COE at around 57k? Are they screwing me over? Or am I too noob to this car buying thing?

That's the bottom line they have to secure your COE. Not based on the current COE. According to my SE, he ask his clients non-guaranteed EX to top up 3k to get the car.

The Elantra didnt qualify for CEVS previously compared to the K3 that had the 5K CEVS rebate before July this year. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
