Appreciate it. Thanks!

I vote for Carbon. Red is way to common. What paint will you use and where do you get it?

Thanks for the opinion!

I'm going to do it the right way, with a 2-component paint.
The product comes from Foliatec and it includes the brake cleaner, the paint and the hardener.

Ok folks...

I wanted to see how much room I actually have inside the fenders now after a roll, so I drove one corner of my car on few blocks to push the cross side wheel+tyre a bit in to the wheel well (or pull it out). I took some "better" pics too.

Here are my current (winter) wheel specs:
(I thought I could share them so that anyone could make some comparison into his/her setup if needed.)

Front:
OEM style 135 wheel; 8x18 ET20 + 12mm spacer = 8x18 ET8
--> the outer edge of the wheel is the same as with
- 8.5 inch wide ET14
- 9 inch wide ET21

Rear:
- OEM style 135 wheel; 8x18 ET20 + 20mm spacer = 8x18 ET0
--> the outer edge of the wheel is the same as with
- 8.5 inch wide ET6
- 9 inch wide ET13
- 10 inch wide ET25
- 10.5 inch wide ET32

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like I mentioned it earlier, the new wheels will be pushed 7mm more out in front and rear compared to my current wheels. According to these highly scientific tests, they are going to fit pretty nice .


REAR:

The only point that still makes me wonder is the attaching point of the rear bumper and the rear quarter panel (red circle).





FRONT:

The wheel well edges are rolled pretty good on the factory already, but we managed to roll them some more (7-8mm).








There's a strange "lip" in the front that is not rolled for some reason (green), but as you can see it's gone now.


I noticed the inner fender had popped out during the roll, but I pushed it back into its place after taking the pics.


Here you can clearly see how far back we were able to go with a rolling tool before the brake caliper prevented the tool go any farther.

Thanks!!! Next step would be finding a reputable shop that knows how to do this with the fronts.

Sup Marcus. Bavarian exclusive in Brea quoted $45 per corner. Since I rolled the front and rear myself, it wasn't worth it, i just roll more as needed, but very hairy DIY!

I will definitely contact them...need to get the front done. Oh and I took your advice on getting the Hankook V12 from our last conversation awhile ago. Very pleased with them.
