    Hi dear all !

    First of all, I apologise for my poor english, it's not my mother language (by far)...

    So said, I'm happy and proud to present my new toy :

    It's a Copen Pearl edition (30 cars in the World, only for the Swiss market).

    It's powered by the mighty 1298ccm3.

    We've bought it with my GF to have fun in the summer.

    I'm coming from the Honda community but we'ld like to have a 2 seater, CC roof, not too powerfull due to the Swiss régulation...

    Here's the first pic of this true love : 20210802_200518.jpg

    I've a question to the members here : I'm thinking to buy a set of Nankang NS2 ultrasport tyres for Copenista, is somebody here who've tried those tyres ? What are you thinking about ?
    As you know, it's almost impossible to find Bridgestone tyres in our dimension and I'm not motivated to change the rims size...

    Hi I haven't tried those tyres but just wanted to say your car is gorgous, the colour looks amazing! My local garage can supply Bridgestone but yes they are becoming harder to find.

    Thanks for your answer and compliments ! I'll try to post better pics of my Copen, I've polished it today, + a complete interior and windows cleaning.

    About tyres, I'll report here what I'm thinking about Nankang...

    Hi. Yours looks nicer than mine. ❤️

    As you are in Switzerland, and parts etc are hard to find, can you please give me details about your wheels and tyres. Sizes and where you bought them from?
    Thanks in advance.

    Tyres are Nankang NS-2R, 165/50 15 ordered from Reifendirekt.

    Don't hesitate to ask if you need more info !
