Magnesium panels and clear lenses? Again, both are aesthetic matters which come down to personal choice.

I'd be very very worried about the magnesium panels getting scuffed and looking scruffy very quickly - I know how often I've kicked my door panels getting into or out of the car, and I've only had it 48 hours.

The clear lenses are pricey, and there's the extra red reflectors issue, but IMHO they look darned good on DS and PS, and darned silly on LY and CR. EB looks good regardless of what type of lights you have fitted

EB looks good regardless of what type of lights you have fitted Ordered my "S" August '01. Arrived July '02. EB with white roof, wheels and stripes, Chili pack, DSC and climate control. Hate those 17" runflats though. Can now be seen all over the West Midlands, as a blue blur passing everything at speed
