Tow hooks also good for when you have a bump with someone else on the road. They will hve more damage and your car will be protected by the tow hook it self. Not saying that you won't get in damage but most damage will be taken by the tow hook.

I want one for my rear as rear bumper is harder to source for our 5G.

Nice goin' mate.
Have the same ones, just in red. Why not an EPR front hook ?

Well I nearly didn't make it after last nights scare. See here if you missed it http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/general ... t7508.html

Dropped the lude off at @PerformanceAutoworks this morning to have the following work done

Renew camshaft timing belt, balance belt, auto tensioner, water pump, coolant and balance shaft oil seal retainer.
Check/Adjust valve clearances
Renew cam cover gasket & snapped stud.

Dunno if its just the arse dyno but it feels alot more responsive on the throttle now.
It might only have one headlight and a scrape on the bumper but it still shifts like jobby off a shovel and puts a right smile on my face

Couple of pics Rich took

@bennyboy
I never bought it across from PUK from the begining when my thread started. (like nath has)
I just carried it on from where I left off on PUK when I joined up.
It's been dyno'd twice a couple of years back now. One at Powerstation in Tewksbury. Another in Leicester, I think it was called streetracers?
One made 201.3 and the other made 200.9 IIRC

@honda-hardy
Well worth it mate. Even jus for the peace of mind that it's been done right
