ricleosg 4th Gear September 16, 2015 Share September 16, 2015 I didn't notice the door knocking on the bodykit .. not sure if can see it from photos. Will take it and post it up soon .. i think the side skirt is too high? maybe there's some contact? I'll see if I can ask them more details when I collect my car later this evening. the doors shouldn't hit the body kit. Do they mean that the door is was hitting the metal frame of the car instead of being cushioned by the rubber seals. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irenelow Neutral Newbie September 16, 2015 Share September 16, 2015 the doors shouldn't hit the body kit. Do they mean that the door is was hitting the metal frame of the car instead of being cushioned by the rubber seals. they mentioned it's the body kit though ... if it's the metal frame, the sound will be there even if they change the body kit?

ricleosg 4th Gear September 16, 2015 Share September 16, 2015 agree. just let them do the repair and respray of the body kit. if they do a good job, good. if they do a bad job and damage is still visible, ask for a replacement of the body kit.

ricleosg 4th Gear September 16, 2015 Share September 16, 2015 quick check with you all... recently, i noticed that when i accelerate harder/rev up when going up the steeper slopes or overtaking, some engine smell seems to seep into the car from the air-con vents. is this normal? never really encountered this before when i started driving the car in may. Only in the last few weeks. The air-con is on internal re-circulation, not taking in air from outside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take it and post it up soon .. i think the side skirt is too high? maybe there's some contact? I'll see if I can ask them more details when I collect my car later this evening. Taken from my ride.. the door sounds a bit "lao hong", suspected is the rubber sealing, not firmly adherse to the body at certain area. Above is my ride, showing door not hitting the bodykit as reference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julietta Clutched September 16, 2015 Share September 16, 2015 I'm interested in PPS too. not sure if should go back KIA to do or do it outside. How long will it last? I collected my K3 last month. Realised that when I closed the driver door, the sound is weird. Sent my car for 1K servicing today and they realised it's due to the door knocking on the body kit :( They will need to fix it another day .. They said that they will need to do something to repair the body kit and need to spray it. Does this sound right? Should it be a replacement? Just take it lor repair n spray if not u will keep niam niam niam abt it till u sell n buy another car. They respray for u issit becos de body kit color does not match ur car color? I jus send my car to respray today then they give me a replacement car which is sportage to drive as it will take2-3 days to complete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They respray for u issit becos de body kit color does not match ur car color? I jus send my car to respray today then they give me a replacement car which is sportage to drive as it will take2-3 days to complete i think the repair will have some scratches that's why need to re-spray. I also told them that the front body kit has a different colour. So, they will re-spray that part too i think. Still waiting for their guys from Pandan to call me when they have a spare car available. Taken from my ride.. the door sounds a bit "lao hong", suspected is the rubber sealing, not firmly adherse to the body at certain area. Above is my ride, showing door not hitting the bodykit as reference mine is actually like a higher pitch sound instead of the solid door closing sound.

ricleosg 4th Gear September 17, 2015 Share September 17, 2015 anyone here with experience with TPMS? thinking of buying one from China taobao. seems cheap, are these type of scew on monitoring sensors accurate/reliable compared to the bigger ones that are fitter under the tyre? not sure if the sunroof already comes with IR/UV protection, but if you bring the car for solar film installation, they should do for the whole car including the sunroof la Just checking... does your solar films cover the sunroof on your SX sports, or just the windows and windshields? any concerns covering the sunroof?
