Lovely car, but for the love of god lose that wing. It looks like it crashed in to a branch of Halfords!

It's part of the amg aero package I believe. IMO the car looks much better and more aggressive with it.

It is indeed and its staying. Without it, she looks too ordinary, especially on the rear imo

Ignore the haters Graham. Just jealousy. The car looks awesome

Any manufacturer that fits canards from the factory is a win in my book, love it all, and agree on the badges in black.  :wink:

I think that Merc looks awesome. Some of the other colours suit it rather less, but that colour is perfect.

I'd love to see a writeup when you've got her.

Well I should be getting it later today but I did take it for a test drive on Sunday. Few things I notice on the negative side were, sat nav isn't touch screen (not bothered but feels backwards) and the cruise control is a stalk that is a bit sticky out a bit (I'll take a photo eventually) but apart from that the inside is gorgeous.

It is faster no denying it, but lacking the punch due not being mapped. The dct or whatever it's called is nigh on instant, but as this is my first lazy car I don't have a dsg experience to compare it to.

Paddles are a bit small so extenders are next on my list. And also it seems the tuning options are much smaller than the vag world, only one or two decent hits on Google and it may be that a box is the way to go.

I'll write up more after some time with her tomorrow or Thursday :)

It's hardly jealousy if someone doesn't like something!  :grin:

Personally, I think it looks superb! Post up some more pics once you get it mate. Love the colour  :cool:
