Nice pictures! Ah, that 'new car' feeling! So, you did not get the rims painted black, after all. You were right, those shiny wheel caps will look good on black background.

Enjoy the Swift!

Yeah kk, thanks and you are absolutely right. I am trying to keep the engine revs below 2500 rpm, but it is mainly by instinct as the Lxi does not have a tachometer. I shift up as soon as I feel it wouldn't strain the engine to pull from the higher gear. I will be posting a more detailed initial impressions review after I have munched a few kilometres. Right now my odo has barely reached 90!

As for the rims, we decided to get them painted black during the first service.

Hi,
Wanted to ask you about the parking sensor you have installed. Which brand it is and does it come with warranty? I am also looking one for my car too.

The parking sensor sure looks a good make. Please shed some light on it.

I frankly dont remember the brand of the parking sensor installed. QAll I remember is that is was made by some Pune based company. And it is serving me pretty well.

My first service is now coming up next week. Will post the post-service review then.
