Absolutely .... Agreed.

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

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?

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??
