None posted yet. It has the silver chin & bottom option, so waiting until I've sorted that aspect out first.

Yes, I shall be there on Saturday but without the Akrapovic fitted. Holding off on that right now, as I want to get used to the Sports system first.

As Dave mentions Micheldever are ok, used them once before on a BMW. The other place I've read good things about was the Wheel Alignment Centre in Southampton but not tried them myself.

Thanks lads. I'm been given a recommendation to try Staysure tyres in Wokingham. I'll give them a go. In the meantime, how sad is it that I'm excited by having fresh, virgin tyres. Very?

Probably best not to get too excited on fresh, virgin tyres until you've scrubbed them in a bit ;)

True, need to hurry up and get them fitted first. The wife is getting a little alarmed at all the rubber stacked up in the garage.

Well the tyres are on and yes - surprise, surprise they're amazing. Not pushing it as this stage but the feel is great.

I have changed two variables though as the alignment was all over the place and is now where it should be - so I can't judge the bridgestones. Had the work done at Headley Tyres - great place imo.
