I know I have to get used to the styling differences with former ML63, but I can't get used to the high off the ground fixed suspension. It gives what I keep thinking of as a tractor appearance.
The car doesn't have Airmatic suspension so it's fixed in what looks like the highest position. I've just put on slightly wider (275/50/19 compared with 255) rear tyres to tweak the appearance from the rear, but it's side-on that's frustrating.
I've looked at the fibreglass "fender flares" that may give a (desired) bloated look to the wheel arches and slightly improve the appearance. (You may have gathered I'm more concerned with looks over comfort/ride/handling etc!)
Is there a cheap way to lower the suspension so it looks more "planted"? Can't contemplate full blown replacement, but if there's a simple solution I'd be pleased to follow up.
