No thankfully there wasn't, quite a fun way to look at it (also used a multi-meter to double check).

Depending on your previous wheel/tyre set up that will yield you some nice weight savings in your unsprung mass

Yes, they felt lighter than the 18’s that came off, they’re a beautifully made wheel too... very high quality close up.
Realistically, I’ll probably downsize on the tires at some point too, which will further reduce unsprung weight. I like the look, but it’s borderline ‘Carlos fandango’ with 255’s on the front and 275’s on the rear
It’s so annoying when that happens,
I spend the last couple of days replacing all my shock absorbers and front springs. All straight forward apart from those bloody pinch bolts on the fronts. Must have spent about an hour on each carefully convincing them to come out. New bolts and copper slip so hopefully never again.

The only bolts that were an arse on anything I have done on my car. I replaced them with new and tapped the threads out and a smidge of coppaslip to stop it happening againBenderloch said:

Had it out for a proper drive with the roof down for the first time since late Sept.
South Lanarkshire
Went to RBM this morning to remove the H&R Springs fitted by the previous keeper and go back to normal ride height. Big thanks to Ross for the great job; I was also reassured to be told that I had picked a good car 
No hidden problems or issues uncovered when they worked on the car.
Then went for a drive with the roof down in the Chilterns

Washed and cleaned 
Got a few things done in the last few days,
Front manky fog lights finally changed , at the same time investigated the reason for the headlight washers being disconnected (they seem to leak out of the actual spray nozzles on the headlight washers?)Never seen that before!
Sprayed the two metal bars infront of the radiator that had lost half their black paint.
Replaced the rear brake light, from a Chineseium one to a OE Hella, ( China one fitted better
And fitted the cruise control, absolute doddle to do, took all of 30 mins including running the wire out under the bonnet!
Also fitted a new focal amp to power the subs behind the seats. Need to still set it up, and then Rosie wanted to go for a spin
