Hi guys,

Went and had the rubber put on the 172's Thursday, it was a nice day on Saturday so i gave her a wash and snapped some pics, let me know if you love em as much as i do.

Thanks again to Quad_M for the rims!

Looks great. Nice backround too. Congrats on the new arrival as well. Gestation period is still 36 weeks in Australia right?
Cheers for the comment!

Over here it is 40 weeks, not becasue we are a differant species but becuase we (the obstetrician's) start counting from the start of the last period prior to pregnancy, so still 5 weeeks to go till the due date which happens to be 4th July, this is also our sons birthday.....

The car is a nice colour too - would look better with beige interior

What tyres are you running, Conti's?

Thanks for the comment however I am not a beige kinda guy if you know what i mean.....black is black is black is black when it comes to my interiors.

I am running Marangoni Mythos 245/35/19 & 275/30/19, they are an Italian made UHP tyre which i am very pleased with so far.

I haven't heard of those. What tyres did you have on the old wheels?

I had sprint booter on mine for a while but have recently removed it/loaned it to a mate. I found it made the car a bit gear happy and also a bit jumpy in peak hour traffic. I am thinking now that driving in DS increases the resposiveness by just enough. What is your experience with it?

PS: Is your 2005 model the push button or key start i.e. 175kw of 190kw engine?
