Puddings, aint checked in here for ages mate :techsupport:

Looks like you're making some good progress though, hope to see this one at the ring this year :-

Anyway, is that bottle that's mounted to the wing one of them charcoal cannister thingamybobs? :angel:

I'd say go for the cage meself. I wouldn't really worry about resale value as I think it will complement an already decent car that's suited to trackdays and weekend use (as well as probably being a perfectly capable daily drive).

Technically you COULD get rid of the charcoal canister, your engine won't blow up without it, but I believe most of the TMF Docs reccomend you keep it in place.

Fancy selling your splits to help fund this body work and cage?! :techsupport:
