Yes, i do think you're better off with the smaller. The other's would have looked bad. Let's see them when they're on!

I honestly like the AMG badges... I know many people find it a bit poser-ish, but I think its nice. Maybe just the front though, with the regular star in the back.

Definitely keep them for winter. I don't think about things like that as we have not real winter here. So did you ever get the tips on? We want pics!
