I prefer Indiana Jones's anger management, draw your gun and drop the guy with the sword.

Mike, PM me your email addy, I'm going to book my flights to Denmark this week and I'll head to Sweden for an afternoon to have a coffee with you. Still interested in taking a day or so and hanging at the MB museum in London? I think I'll stop there for 2 days and chill before I head back to Dubai.

Still interested in renting a AMG car for the track?

I got the car back yesterday and the amg side skirts are on
The side skirts makes a big difference to the car. It looks like the car has been lowered. I'll take some snaps tomorrow. It looks like sh*t now, drove it in heavy rain yesterday
Next mod will hopefully be 4 pot CLK63 amg rear calipers
I still haven't installed the Comand yet...

. Found CLK63/SLK55 2009 front calipers for 500£. Just need to decide wether I'll be buying the front or rear calipers first, or just buy them new This upgrade will cost a few dollars. Calipers, rotors, pads, wires, mechanic costs and moreBut it will look amazing, I love the silver AMG calipers!

It doesn't really matter what order you buy them in but make sure you install the fronts first... I found out yesterday that my damn BBK's are delayed yet again, maybe mid next week now. At this rate I wont have my car back on the track until after I get back from London.

Yes, 6/4, complete Brembo GT kits. And Mikey, I have 5-6 days apart from my car every week mate! That's more than enough!

You're right, then you can look at it this way, this will be a ultimate patience test for you(I think you have waited longer for other parts). I'm requiring a BBK thread from you Kevo when you get them

Yep, a thread there will be including performance data. Brakes and a s/c and LSD away from pretty much being done all the major stuff.

I really don't know anymore. Have a million things going on all at once between work, the car, the house and the yard. The London/Denmark/Sweden trip will be a nice break.

It needs bigger exhaust tips and a drop IMHO
The M6 badge on the side of the BMW looks horrible to me. Not only posing, but the brakes look like wtf? next to the M6 badge

Im getting bigger tips. I'm doing quad later on. And a drop, no. I'm getting 19" rims later on and don't want to mess with the ride height, want it stock.
The M6 statements has been answered in previous posts.

Sorry for the late pic guys. I was at the movies yesterday, saw Hangover 2 so I didn't get a chance to take some pics
It's been raining like crazy here in Sweden the last few day so I took one from inside the house.
Sorry for the bad quality, will take new proper ones tomorrow

But my new dilemma is that I really don't like the brakes, rotors and calipers. They are so small
Few more bad pics.
