Panda 2012+ Panda 85 Lounge, Grigio Argento (Metallizzato)

Introduction

Today i bought a replacement for my "total lost" Panda 403 Turquoise.
It's a Panda 85 Lounge from november 2012 with a little over 28.000 km on the clock, it has all the nice extra's.
Some changes will be done i due Time.
I will collect it in two weeks time, later more. :D
Today my wheels came back from the Powder Coater, all finished up. :D
I think they look Bloody Awesome. (y)

Also ordered the new tires for the wheels, they will be "Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance" in the size 195/40 R17 81V XL, they are BAA tires, B-label for Fuel consumption, A-label for grip by rain, and A-label for noise.
I have chosen 195/40R17" size because they are closer circumference wise to the original sizes, previous to much oversize tires where not to my liking.
They are only 0.8% bigger than the basic 175/65R14" tires and only 0,56% bigger then the optional 185/55R15" tires.
With this size tire the TwinAir engine has still some poke in 5th gear. :D

Looking great! Looking forward to seeing it with the wheels on.
 
Made a quick photoshop to see how it could look like with the wheels on. :rolleyes:
With the weather we where having putting them on the car would have been easier;)
I've cleaned all the winter crap of the car last week and the wheels still look brand new(y)
17 inch are the best size imo for the Panda, still love the ride.

I've been through most of this thread....and (IMO of course) no variants looks as good as this.


Simple. Effective. Understated. Still OEM. Wheels are a nice size, not too big or small. Lovely.
