Check it out.. FORTE BK.. Picture intensive.

Hi all... I know you all been waiting for this.. So I still uploading this pictures but i wish to say the pictures might not be so clear due to the fact i using handphone not camera.. Please hang on...

thanx for e pic...

overall looks quite nice but find e spoiler a bit too low leh..

any idea if existing forte owners wan to install e BK, how much do C&C charge us?

Too sporty for me.... I prefer VIP type look....

Ok... For those who had collected your FORTE and on the road.. Sad to say, you had to purchase from the sales & accessories department instead of ur SE... U might have to pay up ranging from 1.2k to 1.5k (Nobody yet to make enquires on this)

Those who already book and pending for their FORTE... You can top up $1000 for it..

Those new buyers, you will be entitled to Free bk but their promotion will end by Sunday.. After Sunday, prices might increase again.

If you all ask me of my opinion, its nice to own it but not really die die must have it... The workmanship is using silicon sealant and some rivets (cant be see from outside) but the silicon sealant can be see if you look in closely (which i guess is minus point)

Is it PU or Fibre??? Fibre glass is actually illegal, that's LTA rules..for fibre glass, if you get into a collision, front or back.. the fibre glass will break into pieces and may become sharpnels, injuring passerbys...

Its not fibre for sure... I even ask those SE what materials is it.. All give me blur blur look.. I went to feel it, kinda soft able to bend in abit if press hard.. So I guess could be PU.

I will probably wait a while more and see what is available in Korea...... I can always get my colleagues over there to order and ship to me...

Wow... bro kapitan, don't forget me. I say thanks in advance. haha

Hmmm this thread like doesn't generate much interest leh.. Up to now only 10 post + 52 viewers... So sad..

hahhaa... but I hope my colleague will not be posted away back to sea..... we have less work for him to be sitting still in Korea....... I have another Korean colleague sitting in Singapore, I am sure he can make some phone calls to Korea for me when needed....

In fact u surf those korean website, there are already alot of FORTE accessories aftermarket... Just that I cant READ A SINGLE WORD of it.. ONLY SEE PICTUREs...

thank you for the pics,impact2001!

No problem... Thanks for that..

Any pic of a full bk on the cars? hehe

Not sure if it's worth a 1k for juz that few small bits

Will have a look on it on sunday when I go down to settle the pending paperwork.

btw, thx for uploading the pics bro, sat blue n bronze metal yummy

Thanks for the effort in putting up the pics, really cool and sporty. I like it very much Too bad u did not have an overall pic of the car.

I have a question. From the look of it, will they actually cut the front lid and put on the sporty kit or they will remove the whole front lid and replace with the new sporty lid?

Ok.. my bad... To make it out for you.. I tab this photo from other forum. (Someone credit)

kind of.. I know you want to see if the clearance is there right? I check out for you.. hehe except without using proper measuring tape.. The clearance should be enough to clear generic hump.

From my judgement, it should be able to clear but had to be very slow if not when go up too fast will hit and when go down too fast will also hit it.

I really like this BK, it does'nt look too sporty also, over all fantastic.

Haha...i also went the showroom tdy...super crowded and those kids keep on pressing on the horn of the cars there. Quite irritating (sorry if any bros kids were the ones i referring to).

luv e bk looks on e metal bronze but e rear spoiler doesnt really match. if only e rear spoiler is a high mounted ones dat will make e look more fierce.

bros impact2001 n Fortessimo,,,, really appreciate ur hard work n time to upload e pics

The bodykit looks kinda fierce but i do agree tat the spoiler is really a spoiler. If it is similar to the Lancer EX's one den i tink will really look fierce. One other thing is that the seals they use for the kit is too visible which makes it look cheap when seen upclose. However, i look at the Rio bodykit and realised tat the seals has been sprayed the same colour as the body and definitely has a better finishing compared to Forte.

I went to Ubi thsi afternoon..and saw the bright silver cerato with body kit.. and it is quite chio ( dont look like an ah pek car!!)

I guess the blue cerato should be taken at other showroom right.. now seriously considering which color to get.

correct me if im wrong,,, e rio bk is come with a high mounted spoiler??

I saw the rio bodykit on the newspapers this morning, and the bodykit on rio look chio .. i think its higher mounter spoiler than cerato's if i remember correctly

They are giving free bodykit and sports rim for purchase of Picanto, Rio and Cerato for these few days booking.

But Cerato SX(A) and SX(M) already comes with sprts rims, so they only give free bodykit... but if buy EX(M) and EX(A), will have free bodykit and free sports rims.

after looking again n again at the bk pics, i found e front piece is e only thing dat look fierce while e side skirt n e rear lip is juz a normal kinda kit. e spoiler spoil e upper rear look

fully agree on this part.. wonder is it worth the additional 1k if i want the bk?

Bro simo, haha look like we become reviewer sia... Ya in my earlier post, I do agree the seals kinda put off (minus point) and if you guys look carefully, it become like the car chasis itself and bk like become seperated apart by that SEALING... I seen a few other models bk and all are quite well done except for this FORTE.. Dunno is it because they rushing to meet the deadline so anyhow touchup... But just one thing, expect your car starting mileage to be high when you collect ur new FORTE with BK.. They will send out for installation. Dont think will be done in-house.

The rear stock look better man!

Wah.. u so early.. haha

No wonder i become no4 in posting.. haha

LOL....jia you ok?

U getting the BK? I thinking of juz et the front, side and bottom rear only...the spoiler ....yucks!

I ask for half BK not full.. They say it comes as full.. I luv the front only but then the workmanship not that "good".

Think the workmanship is due to deadline jitters, the dude who set it up said they do until midnight to rush it out on kia club forum.

Come in full ar??? the sideskirts is like normal leh. and the spoiler T_T......

Lol.. i guess even mass order also no use.. No discount

C&C where got mass discount one...:S

Wonder if Kapi can source out korean BK variants for us or not.

Then go buy hotstuff mag and see any replica forte coming out.. U knw the dude that design this bk, say worth waiting for etc.. Of cos la.. if i am the one selling bk to c&c, and u guys dun buy from c&c, u think i will have business? haha... Initially keep us in suspense, then telling us got 4 series, now only see 1 series.

Thanks to Bro impact2001 and foressimo for the trouble all e way down to
leng kee..

i was there too...test drive the 2l an 1.6sx..cool. The bodykit looks good but not sure about the ground clearance especially those at ikea alex. Btw, any idea if the 1.6sx comes with the 12v acc outlet?

Hmmm.... Lookin at the review of those who went down, I think I'll better wait for a local dealer to have it... Shouldn't take long rite? By then probably there is a different spoiler already n can mass order...haha

Hmmm... Any kind souls willing to help me take pictures of BRIGHT SILVER + BK.. I want to see see. Thanks.

The sppoilers maciam clips on the rear only... lol

Actually HOS already got bodykit for Forte. The latest Hot Stuff they only put a sketch and no actual pictures. Maybe someone can go be the first. Haha...and den get featured on the mag.

I also know HOS got the bk for FORTE... But i hear it's much expensive and of better quality.. Not sure how true to that.

Any idea how much HOS bk is priced at?

Actually the only thing i wan to add is jus a nice and simple side skirt to compliment the original front and rear.

i think stock forte is nicer.

this BK is unique but doesn't really "enhance" the look of the forte.
