Welcome to the forum OP.
Great choice of car for weekend hooning, and yours looks a great example. Enjoy.

Hi and welcome from Blackpool. I'm glad I'm not 21 again as i don't think I could stand to be driving a Triumph 2.5pi again. You must tell us what the hard top is like and where it came from?

That is one very well protected parking bay, by the way, just looks bloody tight to get in and out of.
Put some more photos up when you get a chance

I had a Rover P6 3500S when I was 21 - it felt like a rocket then, but wouldn't now!
OP, as your car still has run-flat tyres on it you could try replacing them with non-runflats before you start looking at different wheel sizes - especially as your 107 alloys look so good!
If you do look at changing wheels too, with a 3.0i I don't think you can go smaller than 17 inch because of the front brakes.
700 miles in a week seems a lot for a weekend car BTW - maybe your daily is getting rested!
I've not removed a CDV, (I had it done ) but I believe it's just a case of disconnecting the hose from the CDV, unscrewing the CDV then putting the hose straight into where the CDV was.
