^^^^ I wouldn't bother with the remap if your considering future mods , like s/s cat back exhaust ,decat , air filter , manifold matching etc .... remap afterwards .
Pmurray on here is supposed to be good at remapping .
I see they've gone back to conti tyres as well . I wasn't overly impressed with them on my 172 , plus the fronts only lasted 7.5k . It doesn't say if they were developed for the 197 like the exaltos were for the 182 .
I'll stick with my 182 , when its time to change i don't think i'll be...
I'd guess it was the clip on the cv boot , rather than the cv boot itself , they are pretty weak and snap easily . Pack it with cv joint grease and jubilee clip it .

I think you get CS discount as well .
Part number for the pads is R64276FG , same pads as the meganes .
^^^^ I'd just use some 600 grit on the plastic , not too smooth , then plastic primer , couple of coats , 1200 grit on the primer . 3 coats of top coat or until your happy with the finish , if you get a good finish you shouldn't really need to sand the top coat . Then 3 coats of lacquer thinly...
Don't bother with Toyo widow makers mate , i had em on my 172 and they are absolutely crap in the wet , get some Exaltos hell of alot better grip in both wet and dry .
