Frank, thanks for the explanation. You've saved me the trouble 
How's the roof spoiler? Did you install it? Haven't been around much lately so I don't really know what's been happening.
Regarding the piece of plastic, yeah that's a small job with the shaving but if I lowered it more you think I'd need to roll the fender? I'm curious as to how low we can go before needing a fender roll. What's your experience like with your car?

Haha...I'm wondering why he still didn't get it. Is my England that bad?

Formula 1, 750 is for each rim? or total?

It's $ 5,750 for all four rims including tires, installation, balancing, alignment, etc. The bolts are free because they like me. They like me because, well...I'm likeable
On a serious note, I'm not sure why they gave me the bolts for free cause they initially said they'd charge me $40 for them. But I'm not about to question them on that.

Yup
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Contrary to what you see in Hollywood movies, I assure you that we have paved roads, electricity and toilets that flush!

didn't get the roofspoiler. the other guy beat me out on the offer for Adam's roof-spoiler.
If you are rubbing right now, you might need to shave the bumper more and then have the fender rolled. Mine is already rolled and had the bumper part shaved.

I'm meeting up with Hakkinen later today. Let's see what he thinks of the height. BTW Hakk, wanna buy my old wheels?

Your car is not too high at all. I look at my stock 17s. The height is more or less the same.
Man, your offer price of the old 18s are really irresistable. But hey, I got a better idea, why not sell your new wheels to me at that same price.
BTW, i won't my car to be near yours. You are making my wheels look like 15s.

over 5k for those? Now I will first say I love the look....first thing I said when I saw the pics was 'damn thats nice'...but for over 5g's I would have gone aftermarket to have a bit more of a $$$$ and aftermarket look to it. However it looks perfect so it cancels it out perfectly so- cheers!

If yes, why did you spring for same rims front/rear instead of staggered (i dunno if I'm making sense).

I didn't want aftermarket cause I'm a sucker for all things AMG.
