GLA AMG 45
What options do you wish you ordered?
Hello everybody! First time posting, just ordered a GLA AMG 45 and I still have time to change some options if I want to. So I am wondering what options everybody wishes they had sprung for when they purchased their AMG 45. Like is there really that much of a difference in handling performance between the 19 and the 20-in tires/rims? Did you get the plain AMG seat package and wish you got the AMG seat package plus? What is the difference between them anyways? And, what options are you glad you ordered because you can't see life without them?
Please sound off with anything because I definitely do appreciate any and all input. Thanks!

2022 GLA45S
Hi, I've got mine arriving end of June, but, I did not go for too many options as they are quite pricey ex Mercedes Benz. There are plenty after-market options available.
One option that I wanted, but, was bluntly refused by MB., and that was to have the steering wheel changed to nappa leather from the 'alcantara' that is the 'standard' and only one available for the 45S.
The front and rear spoilers are quite expensive via MB., so you can get them on e-Bay and fit them yourself or have them fitted locally.
I stuck with 20" wheels as the optional 21's do create greater road noise and are suspect to greater damage from 'potholes' etc.
I chose the 'comfort' seats as I found the 'racing' seats somewhat uncomfortable (over a longer journey) as I had them in the C63S Merc.
Hope that assisted you.
Cheers,
Mark

AMG GLA35 (2021) | Patagonia Red | AMG Aero, Vision & Innovation Packages | 21" AMG Matte Black Rims
Pretty much all options:
Exterior colour/interior trim
Opted for comfort seats as this is a family car and don't want my front passenger (or myself) dealing with uncomfortable seat during long journeys.
