Great work Lee, looks absolutely stunning.
Did you find out if the Faulkner springs will fit a non-Skyhook car?

Wheel spacers look great.
No problem with the tyres catching anything on the fronts

SportsItalia x pipe now sorted Courtesy of @Scaf being delivered to the workshop tomorrow, can't wait to hear it.
Although it may be a few weeks yet untill I get it back as I've got a loud mechanical tapping noise on cold start coming from the underside of the car, from closer inspection yesterday its coming from the lower rear section of the engine.. various research leads me to failing Cats as this clears within a few mins when warm.
I won't know for certain untill AV engineering do a full assessment this week, thankfully I've got a warranty so hopeful that will be covered.

Excellent, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the extra pops and crackles on the over run.
AV will give the car a thorough inspection and let you know what’s what.
Sy hi to Aldous :)

Will do buddy, you came up in conversation yesterday talking about springs.

Just for info, AV fitted an over ride to the exhaust valves on mine. It means you can open the valves in ‘normal’ rather than just in ‘sport’ thus avoiding the hard Skyhook sport ride on uneven UK roads.
I find it’s not a problem on the continent but can be annoying and tramlining here.
You might want to ask them to do a full underside protection if the car is in for work. At least they’ll be familiar with the Faulkner springs and the uprated disc and pads!
Keep us posted how you get on.
