Anyone bought Kia K3 SX steering wheel cover, car mats, boot mats, car seat covers or door visors from Taobao so far?

Can share?

[ricleosg]

why need steering wheel cover? it is already nicely leather wrapped hehe....floor mat i am happy with the free ones from C&C. never buy seat cover cuz i like the ventilated seats hehe... cover liao den no more ventilation?

 

so the only thing i bought was the mat for the car boot. very cheap lo... less den $5.

Of course. There is a difference of about half a metre in length here... the Swift is a very small car.

But I'm sure you will get used to it... and your passengers will praise you for giving them extra space

Hey folks, congrats for getting your new car.

 

Be careful when turning kerbs - the rim can gash. I got some scratches due to being too close to the inner circular ramp. I recommend small convex mirrors to help guide you.

Quick, sell it! Stress no good!!

[Smartiecm]

Any K3 owner with Eurostyle HU can advise whether you managed to change the backlight brightness for night mode?

 

I realise that after I change the brightness, the setting will revert back to default of 50 after engine restart. Only night mode setting got problem. Changing the day mode brightness is ok though.

 

Not really a big problem but just want to see if it is just me or is the Eurostyle software bug.

I never hit the kerb on my existing car ever after I change my rims over 3 to 4 yrs on my existing car as I always had the habit to lower my mirror when turning tight turns with high kerb. Think my next car no exception. Car ready for collection but purposely delaying the date as I still have time with my existing car.

hehe i also have a little kerb rash on my rims too from the MSCPs... i think the sports rims are less forgiving to turning errors compared to normal tires. lucky i could DIY fix and sand/smoothen the affected area and respray gloss lacquer on it.

 

I may buy that blindspot mirror for tight turns too.... anyone has suggestions if the circular ones or the triangle/square ones are better/more practical?
