Will have it installed with a valet switch if I can, just in case we find out it screws up any standard ECU software updates.

I'll ask Birds for a before and after printout for sure.

3,000 miles now and have started to blast it daily in Sport mode with the paddles. Briefly tried Sport+ on my commute but too much traffic really to enjoy the brutality. Noticed that in 'S' mode the gearbox won't select 8th at normal UK motorway speeds, presumably because the revs don't warrant it.

Average speed creeping up to over 41mph and mpg rising to 30+ which is about where I expected it to be to start with. Hoping for 35 as it loosens up over the next 3k miles. Pity the tank is small though, so the range is only 300 - 350. But the ride is very smooth.
