RC8 repaired and test ridden

Front wheel straightened and repainted, new matching tyres, new pads front and rear, throttle 'tamer ' tube fitted,
Result is
The handling is better than ever, probably down to paired tyres,a slower action throttle makes a world of difference, no longer find myself pulling wheelies after hitting road surface deviations.
Those Brembo Monoblock calipers provide immense stopping power and immense challenges changing the pads !
Very very pleased with the outcome, just wish we weren't in lockdown as I did a bit less than 10 miles, essential journey yes, I needed petrol and I needed to validate the work done and the immobiliser on the car is no longer playing nicely
