In have found there a few R8 rear arch repair panels for sale on eBay - for example

Does anyone have experience of using these repair panels? I believe at some point they were available through the club?

Thanks, I can see the piece I'm missing in your photo, I've circled it in red

Thanks - that isn't the part I need though, it's the piece that goes between the pedal and the brake light switch that is missing

Hi, thanks for the offer! I'm not able to go this year unfortunately though

I was doing my pre-MOT checks this morning and discovered that the brake lights are always on regardless of the pedal position(!).

Finding a replacement for the Honda engine was not easy, but eventually, by searching eBay using the Honda engine number, I was able to find somethi...

I have some clutch judder on my 420 r8 and have 2 new engine mounts to fit. I wonder if I’ll get a similar benefit. It had never occurred to me it could be related.
