i'm still not a fan of aftermarket HID kits, unless it is full lens kits, because of the design differences between the stock glass fitting and the genuine ones, i find the beam pattern not as good, and also when someone comes at you with them they blind you

(the aftermarket ones are gonna be illegal here soon if certain quarters get their way)

Now your just being knit picky You have bi-xenon so i can see the difference in beam pattern but with my xenons the light output is quite adequate in my opinion, its not like im driving up at "me" and blinding myself. Thats if you have your headlights angled a little higher than normal. Granted, I would hate aftermarket HID kits as well if they were banned here in the states

HAHA Yeah it is the case. My tastes have changed with this car at least. I really love the look of flush fitment of oem wheels, if i do manage to sell my wheels im either going to space out my current amg style 3's or get me a set of CLS wheels and get those to sit flush. If you can help me find a buyer for my Works Frank that would be awesome too haha

Traded my 25mm spacers for some 20mm for the rear and now it sits almost perfect on the Works.



I think I may keep em. I still need two new rear tires but for now im rocking Works on one side and AMG's on the other

hmmm, still not sure on those, you've got like zero clearance in the rear, and i'm guessing real harsh ride up back. Still not a fan of the rims being wider than the tyres, and the tyres stretched out to fit - guess i'm just old fashioned !

As for AMG's one site, Works the other.... that's just wrong lol

Clearance looks better now, i'd never get away with that setup here though, not enough ground clearance for speed bumps and other similar obstacles and the rims would get destroyed in potholes and alike, i'd also be sceptical of rolling the tyre off the inner rim lip and letting air escape.

Nice photos

That was my first concern when i put them on actually, especially when going up driveways and such but so far the clearance is perfect and it hasnt hit once Still might consider having the fenders rolled though.
