Will probably regret putting this up, but it'll be sold before I sell mine I'm sure. Dealer's giving them away now ... Mk 2 X-Power £2,995

Saw this on XPF & it was noted that rear bumper had had some work

maybe for style/cosmetic purposes,or it's been tapped at the rear

To good to be true...?

Must be some catch, he could get a quick sale even if he added another grand on there (since its a dealer.)

I noticed that, was going to say then thought "well, a replacement boot would probably have a badge on it anyway." Wouldnt it? Ive not really noticed when people are selling them...

Ah yeah, true. I didnt realise you could get new body parts for the ZS these days (or 45.)

Seems dodgy anyway... personally I much prefer the "diffuser" bit being black, though I guess the last owner could easily feel differently.

Absolutely .... Agreed.

Did anyone actually look at it, or are the rear end bump theories from the pictures ?

it may just be modified. but for that money imho the risk is worth taking.

On the OE bumper the ZS has a black plastic lower,the afore mentioned car is colour coded

Well it has a 45 rear bumper so has most likely been replaced. Alarm bells starting from that I think. Could be perfectly innocent, but if it was me buying it I'd like to know the story!

I'm 99% sure that the bottom bumper bit is painted on my mk2 Saloon..

What makes you say that it's a 45 bumper? :bounce:

I originally thought that some ZSs had that painted part, but had a wee browse on ebay and even the 110s seem to have black ones, so edited my post and just put 45. I know for sure the 45s have it painted cause I was following one the other day... but I dunno, maybe it was a option from the factory on the ZS??

Sent them this .....

Rear end looks to have had work done. De-badged and the diffuser should be black, not colour coded. Exhaust looks non-standard. Do you know the history of the car ?

They replied .....



The exhaust is decat and it has had little bump at the back


Are we good or what ...... :detective:

"The exhaust is decat"?

But its the tailpipe which looks different... maybe he means cat back, or manis back.

Anyway though, at least he was honest when asked. Perhaps it was minor enough that it wasnt worth mentioning in the description. That wouldnt explain the price though, but perhaps its just a true and rare bargain!
