Excellent news. Glad you're happy with it.

 

Time to get the hard top off and get some miles on it

Thanks for the replies. I plan to get a set of Team Dynamics 16 and 17 inch with R888r' s for track days does this effect the ride much? Thinking more about putting them on and keeping them on for strictly dry day runs out and track days

For sticky tires uprated toe links and hub carrier bolts replacement are strongly advised.

16" in the front can also upset the oem 2 channel abs, and for that an abs cut off switch is advised.

Which dampers you got ? They will affect the ride a lot. Also you'll have a big wheel arch gap at the front on OE suspension and 16" TDs.

Thanks, looks like toe links and hub carrier bolts are first on the list and perhaps have a look at the dampers.

Can anyone recommend a good specialist around Hampshire area who could be trusted not to charge me a fortune and provide a decent standard of work? 

Cant find any record in the very comprehensive history of the car having the dampers changed. The car has only done a genuine 21000 from new but I guess the dampers are 10 years old now so perhaps look at replacing them

Where would be the best place to buy uprated toe links and hub carrier bolts and how do I ascertain they are uprated?

Is this a front and rear replacement? I guess I might as well do the whole lot.

Just checked the dampers are yellow which I think is a Bilstien colour, what is generally accepted as the best road and occasional track damper system?
