Anyone interested in the original KIA wheel cap? Please refer to the attached photo. The price for one set (4 pieces) is RM140 (COD or +RM6 PostLaju) if we can get 10sets or more. I am planning to organize a group buy but before that I would like to check with those who have collected your lovely Forte whether is the NAZA wheel cap a real wheel cap or just NAZA sticker pasted on the KIA wheel cap? If it is a sticker then no point organising the group buy cos we can simply remove the sticker

The black NAZA wheel cap just spoil the nice rim, IMHO the wheel cap should be the 2nd thing to change (1st would be the emblems)

Added on December 21, 2009, 1:17 amI would agree with you that its a bit pricey, but it depends on personal preference. I just cannot tahan the NAZA emblem and black wheel cap. If it is silver NAZA wheel cap, then i might save the RM140 for other stuff

Fortelover,

Thanks for your confirmation. I was really hopping that its just a sticker

fortebart,

As per the supplier, it is for Forte, which means it matches the silver colour rim. So I dont think it is a standard wheel cap for all KIA. BTW, i just got a reply from the supplier that if we are buying 20 or more sets, the price would be RM134 (COD and +6 for PosLaju). I will start a group buy post soon.

Fortelover,

Does the metallic colour of the wheel cap (as per the attached photo in my post) match the colour of the rim? Just want to confirm that it matches the rim's colour before starting the group buy ... Thanks in advance ya

Hi guys, agree with you that its a bit inconvenient and costly if one cap lost and need to buy another one to replace and a standard wheel cap would be more cost effective. I just checked with the supplier and it is packed individually, so if one is lost, you may just buy one to replace, but didnt ask for the price of just one cap.

BTW, if anyone is interested in getting the original KIA wheel cap (as shown in the attached photo and a set of 4 pieces), please PM me and the price is:

Less than 10 sets: RM145
10 or more sets: RM140
20 or more sets: RM133

The price above is COD Penang and please add RM6 for PosLaju.

I will keep this group buy open till end of next week 2nd Jan 2010 and place order accordingly on the following week. I will update you all on the qty ordered from time to time so that you know the final price to pay.

<RM10 settled for wheel caps hahaha ... more cost saving cos it is confirmed that we will be charged RM50 for each credit card and RM25 su card

Yeah, none in Penang or northern region ... Plan to go down all the way to KL to glow too, but not that soon

Mr Choong, when r u going to open a branch in Penang/northern region???

Where did you book your Forte? Juru Autocity branch or Macalister Road branch? ... I booked at Macalister Road branch and was asked to pay but didn't pay. initially they insisted that i have to pay, but after calling the careline my SA said no need to pay. If they insist that you have to pay, then tell them that you will call careline to check cos many didn't pay.

I saw one white Forte (my first) on the road yesterday around 7+PM at Jalan Masjid Negeri ... belongs to anyone here?

This is really absurd, why only the Penang (Macalister Road and Juru) Sales Branches are charging this RM150!!!

Please call careline to file your complaint and hopefully HQ will take action ASAP to stop this unfair treatment and take stern action against those who are profiting from the RM150!!!

Just got my Forte (titanium silver) today and Merry Xmas to all

Thanks Phelix, Julz, iluvena, Fortelover, DevilsForte

Julz, I joined MyFORTE club dy but since didn't have my baby yet, so didnt post anything. I will post the photo of my Forte tomorrow cos camera with gf.

Today I tested uphill (small hill at Jalan Yap Choy Yee and also Jalan Delima) and it was powerful enough to me and i didnt really step on it hard. As compared to my Spectra, a lot lot more powerful and as compared to my gf's Latio Sport, slightly less responsive. If you are wondering, both my gf and I add up to around 130KG and only two of us in the car, didn't try 4 adults uphill yet.

I went up Cameron Highlands twice with my Spectra without problem but of course very high FC, so i think Forte will do a lot better

BTW, I was a bit shocked when i saw that the 30km/h and 50km/h on the speedometer without any light and was very disappointed for the defect, but after checking Forte.my and the broucher, well it is by purpose and not a defect ... anyone know the reason for not lighting up 30km/h and 50km/h?

Another thing is the power window buttons for back passanger are without any light, not like the driver and front passanger (with red light) right?

hahaha better call the dealer on Monday and then confirm what the SA claims with careline ... since we all are already very happy with our 1.6 ... i think those who get the 2.0 will be super happy and dont worry about not enough power

Added on December 26, 2009, 6:55 pmThanks a lot for your clarification, i knew that it should be made that way for a purpose. Will try it when i test soon, haven't read the user manual on that part, so just use D at the moment

Anyone interested in Wingard Royale? I have compared Forte stock tint with my gf's Latio 3M tint (dont know which range but should be higher range), and there is really a difference, the Latio is not as hot as Forte.

WOW 15yrs warranty, whats the brand of the tint and specs please? I might as well go for the same tint instead of Wingard and spend the $ saved on other stuff

Added on December 27, 2009, 10:59 amYup the NAZA wheel cap is confirmed sticker actually. I was trying to remove the wheel cap without damaging the rim, but it was quite difficult. Let me try later to day and if i am successful, i will post the photos here ... I really wish that behind the sticker is the original KIA wheel cap

Anyone interested in getting the original KIA Forte wheel cap (as shown in the attached photo and a set of 4 pieces) to replace the Black NAZA wheel cap? I have managed to negotiate for a lower price if we buy 10 sets or more:

Less than 10 sets: RM145
10 or more sets: RM130

The price above is COD and please add RM6 for PosLaju.

Those interested:
1. 4te
2. lingwu

This goup buy wil end on 2nd Jan 2010.

Thanks a lot for the info. I was trying to remove the cap using small screw driver with tape on the screw driver to avoid scratching the rim, but after 15mins trying even with two screw drivers, i gave up.

Added on December 28, 2009, 12:46 amHi, its original Hyundai Mobis part and imported from Korea. Since I couldn't find it else where and the one on eBay is black KIA wheel cap, which i dont like and selling for USD8 including shipping (RM27). i think the Forte original cap with an additional RM5.50 is reasonable (RM130/4) . That's why I really hope to get 10 sets to save on the cost too

Added on December 28, 2009, 12:48 amWELL DONE Logankrishnan

I like No. 2 ... wondering is it possible to remove the © (copyright sign) at top right conner and change the tag line from "Attitude is Everything" to "Leaves You Speechless"?

Its for a set of 4 caps. Not sure how much would cost for one additional cap. BTW, although the wheel cap is unlikely to fall out (i was trying so hard to dig it out using 2 srew drivers and failed), I plan to keep one or two as spare as well. Lets see what are the total sets and how many want a spare cap and we can divide 4 caps with RM145 or RM130

Thanks bro, hopefully we can get >10 sets and I will do my best to push down the price further

Added on December 28, 2009, 1:55 pmAs for No 1, the tyre wall insulation is poor, i am hearing the hollow sound from front and back tyres, a bit annoying at times ... I am thinking of doing soundproof for the tyre wall to resolve this problem, but not sure if that will result in majoy dismantle of parts, which i am trying to avoid.

Added on December 28, 2009, 1:57 pmWELL DONE AGAIN!!! My vote goes to No.2

Dear Forteans,

In order to get more sets and to negotiate for a lower price, I will keep the group buy open till 6-Jan-2010 and I will pay the supplier in advance on 7-Jan-2010. I will then collect the $ from you on 7-Jan-2010. This would be based on pure trust among us. So please do not pull out after 6-Jan-2010 ya

You may find the photo of the wheel cap at http://www.kiafortemalaysia.com/showthread.php?t=56 as i am combining the group buy here, Forte Malaysia and Facebook.
