You'd think with the bonnet bulge, custom paint, and big rims, they would have at least got clear indicators!

Yep, I've looked at that car b4 - pics aren't shopped but it doesn't look like that anymore with the stockies and raised suspension. The car needs a real good detail and once over, nice front seats inside but the console was missing stereo and had wires hangin out - fairly easy tidy up. Paint is ok, pretty shiny just not finished properly ie. needs a good clean and buff. The exterior plastics need all the polish compound cleaned off them and the boot alignment is a little out - sits about 2mm lower. Bodywise its pretty straight but u can see it was a budget respray. The bonnet is f&kt but I'm extremely fussy. The side of the bulge shows paint shrinkage and warping, you'd really need to cut it all back, rebog and finish it properly. The saving grace is the paint looks fresh so no real blending would be needed. The engine bay is filthy but it seemed to start and run fine, again, lots of little sh#tty wires everywhere. For a daily it would be alright but only worth the effort if u like tinkering to finish it completely. It is going cheap too.

mate, not concerned about whether its photoshopped or not, I just know it was that low when I first saw it. Mute point anyway, it sits higher on stocky classics now.
