Has anyone noticed that KIA have added further options for the EV6 to the KIA website?
With my EV6 not arriving until March I would have liked to see the full details of the new options
but strangely and quite comically, KIA have the images as "coming soon".

There are door puddle lights, exterior trim additions etc but without images it would be like buying
paint without seeing the colour.

Or you can try THIS from Kia Belgium (in English)!

No new colours as yet, but some fancy decals if that floats your boat!

I like the black KIA logo, especially as it is my intention to order Pearl White colour car. Have already spoken to a local body work specialist and he says he can de-badge the vehicle, spray up the existing Logos gloss black, then replace them for £80.00. I would only put the Kia badges back on, the others are superfluous.

Yet another I Pace driver switchng to the AWD EV6 :)

My I Pace was a 2m old HSE and I loved it as I have been with Jaguar as a customer for decades, but when I test drove the EV6 and returned to drive away my I pace I suddenly felt like an 80y old. My I Pace had the HUD but even that seemed like a kids toy compared to the EV6.
I have signed a contract with KIA to supply all of my department heads with either a GT or GT Line S AWD and I am inundated with my old Jaguar dealer trying to put down the EV6 attempting to get me to stay with I Paces. He has as much chance of Man Utd playng real football :)

I have ordered the same as you for myself. White GT S Line AWD with a second booking of a GT to hand back the GT Line S when the GT arrives. I had originally ordered in matte silver but after chatting to a friend who owns a detailing and refiinishing business in Wilmslow, he advised me to quickly change the colour to a gloss choice.
The words 'nightmare' was used to describe keeping a matte car and he showed me a clients brand new mercedes that had a slight scratch on the door that would cost the owner around £4k to repaint the whole left side of the car for a 2 inch scratch. Matte cars cannot be buffed or keyed in for any dents or scratches and most times the entire half car or even full car has to be resprayed as its almost impossible to match the colour.

I am the same, ordered a white EV6 so black contrast looks to be great. That is what Audi dealers do (on request) and I am sure other car dealers, they have a painter paint the logos, cheaper than the Audi parts I suppose, seen Vauxhall do this recently as well

On my current Audi A4 Avant 2019/20 version I bought all black Audi logos front and back, £100 or something all in from Audi direct, removal was easy with dental floss and WD40 for backing sticky stuff and fitting new logos even easier (remembering to marking with tape where the logo should sit. These black logos don't seem to be an official option for Kia for now, See a Kia Stinger with black logo, but that was the old Kia logo. I think the Kia logo on the EV6 is plastic? looks thin so be careful :) maybe its metal?

I did plastidip my Audi logos before to gloss black, but it was strange, kind of rough gloss black texture, of course plastidip can be removed if needed as well, official Audi ones were black gloss which seemed to look better. Hope to get the Kia ones either plastidip'ed, painted or something. The image above in my last post seems like a vinyl overlay on the Kia logo..

Yeah, I was exactly the same with Audi over the years while changing from BMW. Got good deals and kept in brand etc etc, only to be let down by new cars that came out not being as good value until this year where an Audi super fan now ordered a Kia... how times have changed. The value just inst there with Audi anymore in my eyes, they can spec out their cars all they like, value of having 4 rings ain't worth it anymore, it will be to some, I drove past a silver Q4 Etron today for example, first thoughts were thank god I didn't buy that car for that price/per month. I mean per month Audi were at least £190 more over the Kia EV6 I ordered with their 6.9% APR and not as much kit/slower spec car.

Back to the EV6 kit available! really great to see it now, of course, you could add and add and add and it would look terrible. Keeping vanilla is what I tried with my A4, black badges, exhaust pipes tip changes and thats it. I'll do the same with EV6 in time... Not the exhaust tip bit though :)
