thanks guys...it truly is an amazing machine. Kleemann, HRE, and AMG - these three are definitely not a crowd

Last up - Euro command and lowering via Steve

Oh, and my local stereo shop (benchmarkmotoring.com) wants to make the *******'Wagon one of their project cars...so it looks like a bit more junk might be added to the trunk

p.s. the wheels weigh 24lbs in front and 26lb in rear. Not bad for 20 inchers :p

Looks cool, but it needs bigger rotors on the back now to make it look balanced
