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

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.

I disagree, and think the lights look great on CR, especially in the evening.

And on the new ones the reflector issue is removed by having it built into the light, not seen a picture of this yet however

"Aiden,The R90's in the uk cast a whopping £2k however I'm in secret talks with my dealer trying to do a deal about swapping my S spokes with a small amount of cash for them."


I traded my 17" wheels and tires which came with the Chili pack and got my R90'2 for £1200. They quoted me £2000 for the R90's and that included tires.

The aero spoiler looks like a duck's ****. Anyone puts that on my car, they are in BIG trouble.

Of course, there may be some people out there who like the wild fowl look.

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.
