Belgian Gen3 Coupe - Updated 12/04

Hey guys

I'm 18 years old and I'm from Belgium, and finally a real Hyundai Coupe owner!
After a 6 months search after a beautiful Hyundai Coupe I finally found one.
Went to the dealership and a week later, previous saturday (31-03-2012).
I'm proud to say I own a Hyundai Coupe! ^^

Enough talking here are some pictures!;

The car I drove with before I bought my Hyundai Coupe.
(Mitsubishi Lancer Stationwagon with 340'000 kilometers, thats 210'000 miles ^^)



The first time I saw the car in the lobby of the dealership:
(What a stupid Tribal sunscreen, I know)



My Coupe just before I drove off with it at the Dealership:



I must admit it took me a day to get used to the car but once you get the hang of it
it's really a privilige to drive such a beautiful and fancy car! ^^

Awesome side pic when I just came home, I just love those rims!



Interior:



And the second I came home I removed the ugly lettering and the sunscreen:







And a last nice picture:



I've already adjusted the license plate if you noticed that it wasn't fitted correctly.

Update 1: Tatlocked & resprayed the lights!

After seeing al these beautifull headlights I was really starting to get annoyed by my standerd ones.
So today (12/04/2012) I tatlocked and resprayed them! ^^

After reading up the tutorials I saw that there were 2 options for dissassembling the lights.
1) Put it in the oven | 2) Heat it with a heatgun

The oven method sounded dangerous and I don't have a proper heatgun so what I used was a good
old simple hairdryer, this one:



After about 15 minutes of preheating and some power they were loose!



Taken apart:



Used some 600 wet sandpaper and sanded all four parts
And into the paint cabine! ^^, made one to paint my mopeds a few years back.
Comes in very handy now I have my Hyundai Coupe:



And after a few layers of black paint, voila!;





Fitted back together:



And the result, very proud of it haha! ^^

After:


I must say this is a mod that doesn't take allot of time and really makes your
coupe even more beautiful then it already is ^^

The next mods will be around the summer break (july-august)

Thank you for reading!
