OK, here are a few close-ups...
The engine bay:
Turn signal side-repeater:
and the mirror.... Is it really any different from the US spec model?

The US mirror doesn't have the seam above where it mounts to the door. Does it fold or something?

The mushroom thing? That's the EGR. You had a 93, I'd expect you to know that!

Maybe yours didn't have the plastic mushroom cover on it?

Probably that. Never saw anything like that in my engine bay.

I believe they fold inwards. I haven't actually done this yet though!

Goodbye dent!:
Paintless dent removal man came out and did it for me. He didn't have to even take the inside of the door apart - he had tools to go down inside the door. Only cost £50. Much cheaper than a bodyshop repair.

Gave the Bonnie a proper wash and polish today...
In preparation for a road trip tomorrow (where it will no doubt get dirty again!).
