Little update on this thread, while I'm still keeping the car unmodified!
New MPSS tyres went on last weekend.
Surprisingly a lot of thread left on the Vredesteins after 6000 miles, about 5.5mm all round, but since I had the other tyres sitting in the garage for a few months and impeding trip in two weeks time I thought I just change it now.
Today I finally managed to replace the OEM paddle shifters with some longer ones, much better feel and finish in gloss black. The old one looked a bot worn out.
Final tweaks on the ARBs and some exhaust gasket to deal with tomorrow and we should be done for a while.
Unless something else springs to mind Steering wheel perhaps
