Fully Sick Sporty KIA Rio with bonnet scoop!


Recommended Posts

Guest Munky

Hey,

Just thought I'd post some pics of a 'sporty' looking car I saw at uni this week. From a far I saw the bonnet scoop and thought it may have been a civic sedan (which would be funny anyway), however as I approached it I saw the well respected KIA badge on the front. Sarcasm aside, this would have to be one of the more pointless mods I've ever seen on a car (my mate has a KIA and we always make jokes about how he should invest in a kit - little did I know KIA kits even existed!!).

Has anyone else seen any outrageously bad/unnecessary mods to similar cars? I remember seeing another person driving around uni with a civic where the only mods were fluro mud flaps.

Anyway, hope you find some humour in the attached pics and apologies for the bad quality - they were taken on my phone camera.

Cheers

EDIT: Removed plates!

I saw a car today that made me physically sick...

It was a lime green metallic VN Commodore, some kind of lower bodykit and a GT wing on the boot

The GT wing and portions of the bodykit were painted bright purple as well as the window surrounds.

It had a stock ride height and 15 inch mags

What an atrophy...

I remember sometime ago they did release a limited run of this blue wrx lookalike model. So I believe the way that KIA looks is how it came from the factory, correct me if I'm wrong.

Unfortunate for the owner, he/she not only paid to get a lookalike WRX but also the attention of being laughed at.

Yeah, used to be one parker in the shopping centre at my local shops (yes, IN they have some shop set up with a few cars there, pretty dumb idea. CAN I TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE MATE?) anyways, a crummy blue one like that featured there for a while... my mates and i always had a good laugh at it on the way to Coles. :P

Seen 2 "fooley seeck" holden astras.

A dark red one with a weird bodykit, mesh grille, fartcan exhaust and chrome wheels.

Another blue one which had a fartcan, chrome wheels and 2 (yes 2!) spoilers. One on top of the other.

Both drived by people on p plates with cappa jackets and fubu caps

Saw an old late 80s or possibly early 90s Falcon GLi (square-ish shape) with a tail light black plastic insert to create an illusion of Skyline's 4 round tail lights.... LOL hahaha.

Last seen @ McDonalds Clifton Hill, seen it around there 2nd time already, so could be someone who lives/works in the area.

Untill you've seen an excel that has pink interior, body kit with some sort of spaztic plane wing that moulds into the back of the car, fully sick sports zorst that sounds like one of those wet farts that dribble and the portions of the body kit that are not stardard are painted in blue, you have seen nothing!!! :bonk:

i saw something in a car mag here that beats the daewoo :)

a peugot 106 with bodykit, mags, paint, wing, etc.........NO speed enhancing mods, but they still put a racing harness in it ;) infact with all the extra weight. a stock model would run faster........remember this is a 1.6L engine so they didnt really need a racing harness :headbang:

oh and this was the feature car for this mag, not a piss take..............

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
