Back in Germany and the car sits in the garage ;(.

Well, the antenna I had ordered has arrived. I wonder where the arm rest vanished. Need to follow up. I'll be happy to have this antenna attached. The one on the car is extremely long !

Nice review and writeups (with spectacluar pictures)
Picking up mine on Jul 15th, the antena looks good.
Can you pls share the info price and where/how to get one.

IMO, i20 looks the best in white. I always think i should have bought the white one. Congrats on your white beast. If you maintain speeds below 100 on highways, u will surely get a mileage of 17+. I generally drive like this and get around 17.5 on highways.

Thanks. I picked it up on ebay Germany. It cost me about 10 euros including shipping.

Hey, thanks for the info. I doubt I would be able to be such a sober driver. But I would certainly try it once to see what the best FE I can pull out of her.

Congrats.! for being a i20an.your i20 rocks in white color. Actually I was booked my i20 magna with white color but I changed color to Silky biege.
Beacuse white is not metalic color.Suggest you to do a branded teflon coating,so that the body finish last longer.wish you safe riding..

Went and took the delivery of the arm rest and also checked out some other accessories. I have ordered the ipod cable for 55 euros.

Regarding the arm rest I did realise that it is meant actually for LHD cars for the european cars. I realised this when I came home else I would have wanted to check the gap between the two seats and see if it can be used by the driver aswell. It might look bad if I use an extender. Will see when I visit home hopefully sometime end of next month.

IF someone can take a picture from their i20 of the place between the two seats I would be glad

as it would help me understand how this would sit.

After a long silence I am back home in India after two months. I have attached the antenna and I have also picked up a Garmin for the car.

Here is how it looks.

khoj · 21st August 2010, 17:01

Man that must be the best 10 Euro you ever spent, that antenna has changed the look of the car. Now I need to find one too!

blackasta · 21st August 2010, 17:10

Nice looking car!
So did you get that armrest fixed?
I too have to get a smaller antenna for my ride - the OEM one is of world record setting length!
Also - where do you download maps of Kolkata from? I have nuvi 255w sitting idle.

Kimified · 19th May 2011, 22:23

Nice Pics. The car looks good.
Any update on the armrest ? Did you get it fixed ?. I am looking at getting one for my i20 as well. So it'll help if you can put up some pics of the OEM arm rest fitted in your car.
