Never!
At least you can drive this one in the rain

I know, it's great. Doesn't give me tetanus or anything

Back to reality where I don't wrap the car in Rover Tahiti Blue, the car is booked in on Tuesday for 80% correction and ceramic coating.
Is the aero kit going on at the same time or are you still a big girls blouse?
Probably not as he doesn't want to look like a teenager / t**t / you.

FLOL !!
Evo 5 RS
lol
If I was going to waste more money I'd get the 19" wheels over the silly hat.
The more I look at it, the more I don't like it. It's too retrofit. It's an afterthought. It's all about the lines lol.

NOPE.
I'd take the small wing off and put an even bigger one on. Needs a massive diffuser too

This reminds me of NFS/GT/Forza racing games where you have a screen of different colour matching oem+ spoilers for your car and at the end there is always the wacky carbon fibre spoiler ?
It's the xzibit version. Dawg!

Had a B road tug with a neighbours Mk7.5 GTI. Up my chuff having overtaken the car behind me on the way home, until he wasn't. Will have to thank him for the benchmark this morning. The grip in this car is pretty immense, it's just the not so fantastic feel for the tarmac that makes you a little uneasy.

How much did you pull on him then and over what speed out of interest?
My suspicion is that he took him to Gapplebys and ordered him a Gapperoni pizza.
Evo 5 RS
He said he backed off because his window was open so that threw my benchmark out the window lol.
I think I left him. Whilst in comfort mode
.
God knows, wasn't really paying too much attention. Between 40 and 120 leptons and around 6 car lengths

That's the thing with GTI golfs tbf an open window loses you 50 bhp and the switch can not be operated once you have engaged pursuit mode?

lol I didn't actually mention the encounter, either. He brought that up himself. I think he knew he got dusted...
It's ok to be humble, there's always a faster car.

Who's done it mate?
Evo 5 RS
I went with 80% correction instead of 100, as it's white lol (and a three year coating).
Bourne to Detail, localish to me. Picking it up later.

Coating all done and left to cure over night.

Have to agree there. Buy any of the A-series options if you want understated. Go full, genuine AMG spec - and I think it needs its trinkets.
Either that, or I'd be de-badging it completely if it was mine.
Would you have had your Evo with no aero bits on it?
Evo 5 RS
I've got nothing against spoilers per say, just ones that look s**t. The aero kit looks s**t.
Evo 5 RS
That’s a proper spoiler. The A45 is not an Evo, nor will it ever be lol.
Worth also pointing out the car is very well spec'ed, just doesn't have the bigger feet and aero. Saw a black one recently that had the aero but not the performance exhaust...why?

Maybe not in saloon form as such. But a 4x4 drivetrain, force-fed 2.0litre lump, great performance.... I'd actually partner it more to the Evo than anything like the brand stablemates C63/E63. But you're right - the Evos always need a proper spoiler!
Subtle changes in appearance (assuming this is the current model) - but I think together, it all works.
Evo 5 RS
Don't like it, or those wheels.
I do like the 19 inch wheels, though. I'd have them in silver if I could find them cheap enough. The wing legitimately looks like the Turn 10 Forza mods you slap on just because they're the only option available for that car lol.
Evo 5 RS
Please
Evo 5 RS
Yeah that's kind of my thinking, too. I don't want reps - it'll bug me forever. They do those wheels in 19 fitment from the factory, just rarely see them in silver on the A45. Just black, or black...or black with a silly outer rim colour.
They're £3,500 from MB lol.

Would struggle to recommend BTD who did the detail. A lot of plastics left untreated, and didn’t do any of the interior. Also under the door handles hasn’t been polished, either. Car does look good, but it’s a 3 year old MB, not exactly difficult. 80% of the roof is glass...

Jesus. If they stayed on the car for a week, I'd be surprised. Even if they couldn't fit a regular badmanz Merc - they would still be stolen for want of trying.

DTM downforce.... innit!Is that canards on a OE hatchback
AMG or not that's just plain ridiculous, looks tacky AF!
