Do you normally keep the rear wing raised?

No, but I raise it to dry; nder the wing so I don't get dirt streaks.

The yellow calipers look good with the body colour

Are you changing the spoiler to GT2 type to match the front?

Thank you, I agree, contrast is very nice.

Got a little obd data logger...

@75 mph constant speed, my intake air temp is solid at 80f.

It is a 75f day, so I'm pretty impressed with that.

Interestingly, the moment I came to a stop at a light, jumped up to 86/88

Did you have any troubles getting air out/fuel into the system?
On the Walbro, Black = Negative Red=live/positive?
Have I missed something, all my fuel pipes at the motor end are dry when I crack them open 🤔🙄
Any help appreciated 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲

Appreciate it. Taking my time removed most of the underside things today almost have the AC compressor and ps reservoir out, gonna finish that tomorrow to control the mess.
Need a lift table too.
It's nice to do when I'm not rushing and chip away at it.

I didn't have that issue at all; swapped out the old, in with the new, car fired right up. Same kit too.
