Yesterday I got the car back from having the stuff above fitted;

Looks like the old Clutch had plenty of life left, meh, emergency spare now... ha






Had an issue with the fitment of the Pre-cat removal section, it was blowing at the joint to the Turbo, looks like the flange is slightly out, so won't pull up square. So got the guys to refit the original and will need to look at how to get around the issue. eBay purchase means no returns. Bah.

However, on the flipside... Quaife =

It does make quite the difference - can take wet bends at the same / more pace than I was in the dry beforehand... Well, it seems that way!

Went out for a bit of a trek to give the Diff a running. Had my camera.

CH Reps - Silver

Should be here by the weekend, so provided I am in the country (and there are no fitment issues!) they will go on then too...

Rims turned up today - better than expected;








Spacers required, just for comfort really as they sit fairly close to the Shocks and calipers, so ordered them today. Hopefully, the whole will be fitted over the weekend

I did actually order the Fully Silver ones, but got contacted and told they had failed QC Checks, so was offered a list of alternatives - wasn't overly taken by the Black ones, but the Merc AMG Reps on offer wouldn't have suited the Car, and these can always be done in Silver at another date if needs be.

However, seeing them in the flesh, they look much better than expected.

Now you have burst my bubble though

Wheels on, but need to paint the new Bolts as the original nut covers are too long, and just waiting on the BBS Centres to arrive before I fit them

Put 3mm Spacers on the front wheels, and 5mm Spacers on the rear wheels.

Pics taken as light was beginning to fade this evening, so they don't stand out toooo much in the pics.










I'm happy with them...

Hate to agree with rest but silver would have been better. Black too dark and not sure on lip.

Like the new wheels but I agree about looking nicer done in silver. Better pics needed for me to decide 100% though
