What's the front bumper like on the XPG one?
Mine is stone chipped to hell and had a bad rattle paint job done on it before I bought it and now I have broken one of the mounting holes being too low lol.

Needs repainting i am afraid. You going to struggle with the miles on the cars these days to find one that dont. I have 2 complete kits that all need repainting but if you can get it done then i am sure we could come do a deal.
most of it will all soon be up grabs

Alright. Cheers.
The cable ties are keeping it pretty sweet at the minute tbh so I'll wait and see as I wanted mine painted anyway but it's ages away from being able to be done.
I'll keep a look out for the stuff as I'm sure at some point I'll need to sort it out.

Glad someone saved this - if it was going to be broken, I was going to chuck it on the drive.

Ok car arrived 7:30am this morning and seeing it on trailer I thought not bad [emoji1]
But as per normal what's good nick to some and my idea of good condition are obviously miles apart. I could break either one to repair the other it's that's close but red one win's only by shear fact the underside and inner wings are in far better condition plus interior is better but apart from that the bodywork is scratched and dented just about everywhere inc the roof [emoji12] tyre flat, inlet mani shot , some dubious filter setup held on with string, clock dead, boot once opened won't shut and rear bumper holding on with sheer luck or is that normal on saloons?? Gear selector like marshmallows.
That's just a 5min once over.
Still it has a nice stainless pipe so xpg mk2 will be stripped to repair this one.

P,

A photo tells a thousand lie's. The Firefrost diesel i bought to save the 180 firefrost wasnt as good in the flesh as it was in the pics. I would still have bought it even if i could have seen all its faults but my expectation was higher than its actual standard.
