Great write up as always! If I am honest I am slightly underwhelmed with the pictures but as you have already covered for you it was really all about how the car feels to drive.
45 minutes must be a record, I bet your heart sank when you saw the damage. You have definitely been quick in resolving the problems though
As for the tyre damage, it does seem very minimal from the photos but best be safe than sorry though I suppose. You don't want to end up like a certain 918 owners, mowing down a crowd.
