First, I would suggest not modding until u pass the 10k mileage as u need to insure against factory defects n claim warranty, should u mod, they can void yr warranty especially those mods which cannot revert back easily.
U also need to drive n feel the car for a period of time to know the benchmark of the stock performance, else how u know or feel if there is any improvement. Don't just based on others comments.
After 10k or even after one year, then is safe to mod, as warranty seldom cover wear n tear which can occurs after the first year.
If u need more info, can always contact me on my mobile 81888297. I been driving n modding my koup for more than one year.

Well i went back C&C and sign up their servicing package $1024 for 4 times kinda EX but not much choice in order to maintain our warranty. servicing package does not include parts that required to be change eg spark plugs and filters etc.... Thats how they earn so much from us =) Normally for the 1st year... LL got to service with Authorised Dealer to maintain warranty, but after 1 year, they can use the excuse of wear and tear to not 100% warranty coverage, thus many opt to go outside to service after the 1st year. Even with warranty, the fine print did mention that there might be parts warranty but labour to be borne by owner. And with the high cost of labour and time wasted there... it may be more cost effective to just repair the parts outside. So far, yet to hear any major issues, except for the 4speed transmission and brake assy.

Hi bro's & sis's, Just like to check where did you guys change the EXOS that had 4 pipes? i saw it through the team koup group pictures. That look cool how much does it cost and where to get it? Cheers!!! There is dummy tail pipes which cost less than S$100 to do it... and there are also working ones but of cos illegal. From wat i know, 7ism is not approved yet and no news on the approval. But I know there are 2nd hand one for sale if u are really interested.

There are a few workshops, namely HOS at West side have the most customised and expensive one, Mancando at Sin min also have a few types, and there is also solomon brothers and Tong wee Lee which have the nefd bodykit.
As for the original 2011 Koup bodykit by CnC, it is not easily available cos is from Mobis. Maybe can ask Mancando or Juskar to get but not going to be cheap..
So far, cheapest is at Msia and they do have ready set moulded after the Nefd and can view some photos there as well.
If interested, just ring me up at 81888297 and I can provide u with more details.
Cheers Glenn

I'm dun wish to start anything here anymore. But I can't take it when I see ppl advise wrong things. Eg. Koup nth to mod/ ask ppl to illegal mod like wat he did. When all tis r Nt true. Like I said all u can gain is better response If u willing to spend on the right place n item n Nt illegal do it. Hu do not know illegal can add alot more. Btw I dunno if u guys deleted the post abt wat is done to mine to increase hp the right way Den nvm. As all I can say is I wish the old beng gd luck n hope one day he get caught by lta n face the music Wondering where u get the wrong info abt Lao beng 2L koup. His is legal n confirm pass any inspection, don't need yr good luck n assumptions. If u got something to share, just post a new thread. We will be most appreciative on your knowledge sharing.

Not sure wat car godspeedyou is driving, but if u know the koup, the handling is already not bad, removing the spare tyres won't affect tat much unless u really went into the corner too hard and too fast... even if tat happen, the traction control system will kick in to save the day...
Lol.

Better to try claim early within the first year, after one year, they may say is wear n tear.

let me give u guys a suggestion... change ride... n btw if u talk abt getting ur ride illegal mod n power find lao beng but u wan i not so powerful but good reponse find me... my ctc u can get frm most of the old member here but tat definitely not the lao beng... cuz i dun see him beng at all... if he feel tat im jealous wif his ride den ask him to set date, time n venue n we can test it out if his ride is gd or he need to change ride to be fast... cuz my 2cent opinion is tat koup is a outlook car n is meant to be appreciate n not race Would appreciated if you dont start any flaming. I do agree the Koup is nice outlook car and meant to be appreciated but KIA did try to race the Koup in some Motorsports event... so maybe you can go read up on it at KIA Blog. Maybe the 1.6L is under powered, but 2.0L and the 2.0L Turbo or even the 2.4L... Just a bit sad that the 2L Turbo and 2.4L isnt available in SG. lol

Would appreciated if personal attacks can be avoided.
If really got issue with another member, kindly pm each other to settle outside.
Posting here will have no ending cos every or anyone can be a computer hero behind the monitor.
Best if can meet up and share knowledge, make a new friend instead of adding another enemy to make your social circle smaller.
Cheers and life goes on.
