Glad to here it's back Neil, it's a bonny car

the brakes should clean up in a wee while but check there is no buckle to the wheel.

Please let us know what you think of the repair

One or two wee niggles :? Had to pull them up on paint work couple of scratches /mis on new clam after giving it a good look over this morning.
Bonnet not inline :? their idea of the car being finished and mine are somewhat different :evil: its an elise after all not a transit van .no offence to transit van owners.
Lawrance thanks for the wheel buckle idea will mention that if wheel balance fails.Took it for a spin last night and the brakes are cleaning up... :?: Stu temps seem to range from 85-96 but not constant not had the car long enough to work out if temp gauge is ok or these are normal temps feedback welcome from you or 160 guys. :D
