Je suis sûre du sens, mais est-ce le bon registre?

English term (edited):
bigtime
quelque chose de bien
I'm just repeating what R+C suggests, which seems to me about the right register — although I can't quite decide if 'quelque chose...' really works for what is more like an adverbial usage here?

Here's the exact entry from R+C, so you can judge for yourself whether the expression would be applicable here or not; personally, the structure of the phrase seems similar, if you replaced the verb with 'frapper'.
you screwed up big-time! * : tu as cafouillé quelque chose de bien! *
However, I do share Gilles's qualms, and I suppose this really has to be regarded as almost a dedicated expression.

Given the ellipsis in the middle of the sentence, I wondered about using "...et bien comme il faut !" ?

How about 'bien comme il faut' then?
