sh*t, no-one's going to believe that - it was towed by Wil-Tow.

All done now and getting towed back home tomorrow (currently has no oil or coolant and I have no idea how "off" the existing tune is).

I had to replace the existing CAT with a high-flow bullet-syle cat since the original one no longer fits. Dann's downpipe was shorter and there is more room up front to fit it - the further back you go, the narrower the tunnel gets.

Wil-Tow is much better than Won't-Tow (or even Camel..).

Gina returned home today, again via Wil-Tow (sorry bruce, didn't spot any Camel To...).

With the latest modz came a new number plate too:

For those who are too young to know, which is probably EVERYONE reading this, my car was named after Gina Lollobrigida because they're both classic curvy beauties and Gina's nickname was "La Lollo".

"Someone" has vandalised my number plate "LLO110" and put "a"s next to the first "L"s on the front and back- the mongrels :P

This weekend will be spent tuning and driving the car for the first time in months - WooHoo!

Thats not "the" bonnet, that's just the OEM one, there are no concerns over NB OEM bonnets. NAs need some trimming. The Garage Vary hood might not fit still.
