To answer the PM, I'm only a maybe now. I had a small accident with the car, parked the nose over a kerb and when I reversed it caught the undertray and ripped it through 180 degrees and pulled off the bumper........

Its at the repair centre now, I should have it back before then, but you never know. I'll know for sure next Weds.

Hi There,

Am unsure i'll make it. I am in Leeds on the Fri/Sat and will depend how things go there if i'm up for driving. Its kinda on the way home to Huntingdon....

Then again my beast will not be looking that imaculate....i still have trim bits out inside from the ongoing stereo install. The bumpers have a few notches and i'm missing a small side trim piece which i've yet to find a replacement for.

It will also be dirty and bug splattered and a touch shy !

Lee
