Dear friends,

Finally zeroed in on Ritz VDi. 5,60,370 on road chennai.

getting 11.25 % fixed interest rate on loan for 5 years.

the dealer promises to give mudflaps, mats, car freshner, tissues etc.

Thanks for Carwale for all the forum posts / legends, moderators. its been really helpful to know about the world of automobiles.

This is my first car.

Suggest me different accessories i might need

1. can i install rear defogger/ washer/ wiper on a later date as VDi does not have one.

2. which audio system would be better. some thing GOOD, VFM

3. Can I Install alloy wheels with big tyres as iN  ZXi on a letr date. what wiull be the cost

any other tips to maintain this car is welcome.

Planning to get it delivered this week. any thing in particular i need to check in car before delivery.

THANKS AGAIN FOR CARWALER FOR THIS WONDERFUL FORA.

Congratulations for your new Car!

1. You can not install rear defogger, One is available they use to stick it on the glass but working is poor.

2. Tell us your budget for Audio System. Prefer Pioneer with JBL speakers for decent sound quality. Check threads of Audio/Video & Navigation Systems. You can also start a New Thread.

3. If you want to go for the Bigger tyres & alloys, I suggest you to go for the same immediately after buying your car. Ask any tyre dealer before taking delivery and replace your tyres with desired ones. If you will replace at the time of buying, You will get the best value for your New Stock tyres.

I have already posted few links in other thread regarding Pre delivery inspection. Please go through

Happy & Safe motoring in Advance!!

Thanks Rajiv.

1. Can i install rear wiper? what will be the approx cost

2. what will be the cost of bigger tyres and alloys. what will be the price difference if i give the original tyre back before taking delivery.. Also will it protrude out?

I hope you can install rear wiper (not sure though).

Cost of tyres & alloys depends on your choice. Michelin or bridgestone is costly but performance is better, prefer michelin. As far as alloys are concern, so many alloys are available you can pick one as per your liking (Looks). Range starts from Rs. 2500/- per alloys.

Tyre Replacement: Recently we upgraded new tyres of Ikon TDCi with Michelin's 14" XM1+ and got value of 9k for set of 5. We paid the difference and bought XM1+ tubeless. I dont know whether we got good deal or not but you can enquire. 

XM1+ tubeless tyres are very good.You should go in for 180/60/14 tyre size which is suitable for the ritz vdi.As for alloys i would suggest you to go for the for the factory fitted ones on the ritz zxi.

Tyre Replacement 9k f0r set of 5 is a good offer

Yes the Energy series are quite good tyres-the right upsize would be 185/70/14 though.
