Hi from the Netherlands

Hi everyone,

I'm brand new here, just yesterday I bought me a Toyota Avensis Wagon T27 in Ultra Silver from 2012 with only 35.000km's (approx 22K Miles).

I used to drive a fully tuned Volvo V70R classic from 1999, but it gained more and more problems. And since my wife drives a Yaris from 2000 without ANY problems, it was time for me to buy a Toyota also I've always liked the Avensis, especially the T25 and I do like the T27 also.

We bought a very nice Avensis with some nice features like keyless entry, leather/alcantara seats, navigation and so on.
I expect to have it delivered by the end of next week and can't wait to start tweaking it.

Nothing on the engine; in total opposition of the Volvo we went for the 1.8 manual for the more economical fuel consumption.
But I want to change the headlights to xenon, change the regular bulbs to LED and have a look at the confort modules for the folding mirrors, indicatorlights and if possible automatic windowclosing while locking the car. I have found some threads on this subjects on the German Avensis forum, but since my English is a bit better I will have a look here also

For as far as looks I thing the care looks quite nice all ready, only thing is that I personally find the standard 17" wheels just a bit to small.
I'm up for 18" or 19" wheels for change. Luckily first thing my wife said looking at the car was "I can understand if you want to change the wheels to a bit bigger".. I love her!

But first things first... A bit of patience to have it delivered next week. I will post some pics as soon as we have the time!

Just for an idea what the car looks like:

 

Love these wheels btw, these are 18".
Anyone knows the name of these?
