I think they sound amazing and the front looks nice and AMG-like. But what's going on with the rear?

Ah, I knew I'd seen that rear before...

I think the A45 doesn't look that special compared to a specced up A class diesel.

Maybe a good thing for some. It would certainly surprise many people.

Exactly. Apart from an S5 lowered and spaced of course.

She's only driven it twice in over 4 years, she's forgotten how good they are, anyway she would wreck it in no time :biggrin3:

I thought you'd have ordered a right-hand drive version. It still looks ok as a left-hooker...
