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

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.
