It looks like a New Babe. Congrates man.
Silver Accents Looks good on 10 Spoke chrome alloys with 15" low profile tyres.

One more thing, which ver. of Accent is this? GVS? GLE? GLS? GTX? It is not there below "Accent" Badge on the boot. buy a "GLS" badge from Hyundai accesory shop else the car looks as if its been repainted.

@Gangsta: The car is a GLS. I had got the GLS badge stuck on the boot but some sadist ripped it off the very next day.Looking out for the badges now as it is not available loose and u have to buy the whole set, will check out the hyunday service centre Today.

GLS.. a DOHC? or SOHC?

The car looks great!! It is simple but elegant. Great taste.
A before picture would help to appreciate the difference more.
The prices seem attractive. Enjoy!!

everything is good except you could have gone of 15 or 14 inch wheels man...those those wheels look too rubberish...

Ripper · 21st April 2008, 22:08

@gangsta: Its a SOHC.

@patience: Thanks bro,I do have the before pics but my damn phone gives an error when transferring via IR.

Ripper · 21st April 2008, 22:25

Here are the pics of the car befor the paintjob and the last pic is the comaparison of the 4th pic.

@zenopio: i always wanted to upsize to 14 inchers but we were working on a tight budget which was already stretched by 15k and couldnt stretch it any further. Also it was impossible to hang on and collect some cash for the upsize as the previous tyres were simply pathetic.

Gangsta · 22nd April 2008, 21:01

oh man the previous owner made it a hell. tail lights gone stickers and all those stuffs.

DocG · 23rd April 2008, 03:25

OOH the new pain is SHINYYYYY

I am known to be biased against Hyundais, but I'll make an exception to say that the car looks like new

PatienceWins · 23rd April 2008, 12:34

Thats a great change from before. Now, your car looks as new.

Ripper · 23rd April 2008, 23:13

@docg:Thanx bro. To tell you the fact even i was against buying the accent since i always wanted an OHC.

@patience: Thanks bro.

Nice job there. Makes me want to redo my Accent as well. Its got a few dents here and there. My tyres are approaching the 40k mark. I think will get everything done once I am going to change tyres, will get alloys as well.

2.2 is a good deal.

Ripper · 19th May 2008, 15:47

Thanks dude, Do go in for the 14 inch wheels if u have the cash, the car looks much better with the upsize.
