It looks like he just painted the inside of the stock headlights. Then replaced bulbs with Xenon bulbs
the side lights are round and those are not stock

je chercher parchoc arriere , j’ai deja l’avant et les jupe mais pas encore l’arriere…
Je ne suis pas sűr ce que vous essayez de dire.
did you mod the car at all to fit the 205/40/17 tires im think of putting 17’s on my car but not sure it the 205 will fit
The stock tires on a kia rio are 175/70R14. Which has a total diameter of 595mm. The total diameter of 205/40R17 is 589mm. That’s only a 1.01% difference, which won’t affect drivability, you want to stay within 3% when changing a tire size. I haven’t put mine on yet, but I think there is enough clearance to fit the 30mm wider tires on, although it is a concern for a sharp turn.
Where I can find performance parts for my Rio5 2006?? please help me and answer me by writing an email please!!!!!
thanks a lot
oops!! on internet of course!!?? sorry
My email is [email protected]. Sorry again !! lol
