Gave my MR its first wash in my ownership and then took it for its first proper dry drive. Its abilities have actually shocked me a bit, in comparison with my old 3.0i Roadster. I think I'm already addicted and am glad I chose to upgrade.
Today gave me a chance to assess some changes I've made. The rear tyres were rubbing on the arches in big bumps. I bought this car to enjoy on fun roads, so it has to be able to handle fast sweeping stuff with hidden bumps. It had spacers fitted to the front and rear wheels and, on the H&R lowering springs, the back end was sitting a little too low relative to the front. This appears to be standard issue with the H&R springs, and the remedy is to fit thicker rear spring pads. So I whipped off the spacers, ordered up some spring pads and slipped them in. Results below (bear in mind the original spring pad is 5 mm thick, thicker pad is only 9.5 mm thicker) :

The difference is minimal but noticeable to me, and is what I was hoping for. Although the car looked beefier with the wheel spacers, it has to be function over form for me in this area. Also fitted cruise control
Not hard at all just really fiddly, you have to be careful not to put so much adhesive on the Alcantara that it soaks it up and obviously any spilt glue / adhesive will ruin the fabric. I used 3m foam fast 74 as the adhesive and loctite superglue to glue the edges on the back side once the adhesive on the face had dried. Time will tell how long it lasts, I thought it worth a shot as the adhesive could easily be removed and the trim wrapped if it doesn’t last. The knee pads will be my biggest challenge - not sure how I’ll do those yet
