Was considering doing the countersunk bolts thing...may do it down the line but i've fitted it as is for now!
Few more updates today - I managed to get some pics of all the bits i've been doing. Also feeling a bit pissed off as I seem to be finding leaks everywhere...bloody passenger driveshaft seal is leaking oil, I appear to have a leak on the caliper - or at least I noticed a drip of brake fluid on the bottom of one so wiped it clean to see if it appears again. I also saw another big drop of oil on the bottom of the gearbox, so I hope to god that's not leaking or it'll be back to pug1off for them to fix properly! As well as this, my sump is still leaking so the twats that welded it in the first place obviously didn't do it properly. And finally some of the brake lines inside the car appear to be leaking, or 'sweating' from the joins where the fittings go into the T piece on the back bench. These were meant to be fitted by an 'expert' so i'm not happy about that! If you want anything done properly you have to do it yourself. So as well as the exhaust, I have this long list of shit to sort out....so I am feeling pissed off but never mind...
Anyway, rant over, here are the constructive pics of today. I had to remove the inner arches too as they were catching the tyres on full lock now it is lower. It's only by doing this that I noticed all these damn leaks!
Also got some more carbon bits, and another piece for where Bob removed the wiring from the rear.

That's all for now. I am feeling a bit gutted i've had so many bloody problems, it's like i'm jinxed. I'm going to go through the whole car myself I think and sort all the shit out. Obviously Bob's work is all mint, this is all stuff that's out of our control....still, they send these things to test us right?
