I don't know if my feedback on the mirror would be any use to you. I'm annoyed it doesn't have a proper little flicky tab thing to angle it upwards as I'm quite happy barely being able to see anything in it at night (when being followed, at least).

I don't think there is any adjustment on the rear view mirror - it is "automatic/electronic". I have only done a little night driving but it seemed OK to me, and similar to my C5. It simply senses any "bright light" and dims accordingly...

Flicky tabs are so 20th Century...!

 

[Centurion07]

They are, but there is something pleasingly satisfying about the feel of them. Plus they "dim" a lot more than any electrickery mirror.

It's just another thing to go wrong that no-one asked for.

Seriously pull that clutch spring man, you will so love the car more for it.

Took mine to local friends garage today and they really know there stuff, they checked my clutch pedal and sad the 1-2mm play in the top from spring removal is absolute zero issue and of no concern. He also drove my car with and without spring and said the same, night and day improvement.

TBH I am starting to get a feel for the clutch between 1st and 2nd gears now BUT I am not doing any quick shifts yet so that may be where the spring removal helps a lot.

Got the car cleaned Sunday morning so it would be rude of me not to post some pics

great looking pics!

 

[Centurion07]

Yes, yes, yes, we all know what they look like inside now. ;)

Have to say you/your camera really manages to capture the orange well, Not a hint of RR at all and it can also look washed it in other pics I've seen.

Slightly jealous.

And oh yeah, pull that spring!

Nice one,they definitely moved my wiring about as your plugs seem to be fitted into there position on the LHS.
Mine will not reach there location holes and are just hanging there which I have tie wrapped up.The loom is tight though and I wonder if they moved my loom away from potential hot spots at the upfitters ?

I have tbh a little camera trickery has been used to get the orange to come out in the pics lol

Get a pic up of the bay mate, be interesting to see how the wiring compares

Large plug not located, was hanging near manifold, tied up now.
You can just see the grey fixings on the other connection that won't reach its location holes.check with your image to see the difference

Cheers for the pic. Going by the pics I took it looks like that connector is already located where you have had to cable tie it to, so will double check that when I get 5 mins.

Looking stunning.
