no, definitely not - think it has plastic bonnet, but not 100% on that.
My old one's the only cat one within these circles in the UK that I'm aware of - seen a couple advertised but not owned by folks who frequent this forum.

Well, if anyone comes across a "cat" (DFW engine) motor on it's last legs (or just the engine), i'm still looking for one cheapish...

I thought most K-reg models were still 160bhp. The DFW is a pretty rare (I'd call it beast, but it's not really
) over here.
It's all futile anyway....proper 16v's have 2-row ECUs

And if anyone comes across a non-cat (D6C engine) I'd love the pistons/liners/valves/camwheels. Mainly the pistons, to up-rate my AUS delivered DFW engine
