Well, I needed a car to use in developing new modifications for our cars - so I picked up this for pennies (literally).

It's very 'poverty spec' but drives lovely - also had the HG done although in all honesty it'll either get a 1.8T or VVC conversion at some point.

How many are out there in this colour? It's IAA 'Spectre'. :)

Just needs the ABS sorting (cracked ring I think) and a rear caliper rebuild. :)

Pretty rare colour, it looks a reasonable enough car.

Cheers guys. :)

Paint seems to be damaged on the rear bumper, you can see it in the pics. It's almost turned a different colour, but the laquer seems OK.

Any idea what this could be? :)

It's got a few issues - no ABS due to a cracked ring and a rear brake stuck on, although we drove it 35 miles back and it wasn't noticeable hotter than the other.

Also has a small exhaust blow under load which will be a right **** to find!

Is the paint damage by the l/h rear light ?, I would say the bumper has possibly been repainted at some point.

All over the bumper, spoiler and tailgate.

Doesn't look like damage - just the colour has gone 'off' and cloudy. Maybe a good polish will fix it? :)

This colour is pretty rare. Get it back to how it should be and it will look great!

I had a ZTT in typhoon that had the same problem with the paint, blotchy patches in different places. Its the base coat is lifting from the primer so becomes a different shade, it shouldnt come off because the lacquer is holding it in place but it does look minging! I got rid of it before it got any worse.
