let me start by saying "wow" look great. but i just have one concern/thought.
you can file it (read trash it) as soon as you read it. and its meant to be constructive only.
but i was looking at your impressive pictures and can't help notice all that "clearence"
that the "wide five" disk brake caliper brake line has (unless its not hooked up yet).
that should follow the brake caliper more closely or even better should be a flexible
hose so that you could swing it out of the way for other maintenance in that area without
disconnecting it. like i said, file it away. its just something i thought i saw.-bruce

Can I follow up on Bruce's post and check that the rear caliper is not of the sliding type, like the one used in the similar CSP kit (that I just fitted last weekend!). I.e. Has a single piston and the caliper independantly slides to take up the pad wear. If it is, you definitely want a flexi-hose as the position of the brake line fitting will move over time as the pad wears (as well as slightly when the brake is applied). Just want to make sure there isn't an inadvertant safety issue.
