Interesting looking car. Plus points are the wheels and bodykit I suppose; negative the fact it has been stolen and the flat tyres. Also, £3k for a stolen car may be a bit expensive. I also wonder what the white powder on the seat is.
Anyone know what the bodykit is?

I wouldn't have said the body kit was a plus point I know the bumpers are hard to get but still....

Anyone know what the bodykit is?

Awful !!

29,000 miles / 29,000 km ??
Sounds expensive to me too for a s&r if you discount the mileage claim , which i would

[Nige]

Are they fuchs or just some dodgy repros or hubcaps, look strange to me. Mileage must be 129k and the door the striker plate and seals have red overspray on them. Surely no more than £1.5k

[Helen]

that body kits is awful.
dosn't look like its fitted right. i would have to remove it.



judging by all the soapsuds on the floor
i think the white stuff on the seat could be foam from the car being washed. i suspect the front boot will be full of water too as the boot lid just dosn't look like it fits.

[Nige]

nah, its fust, mildew, fungus

or fire extinguisher(spelling?) powder

Definitely wheel-trims.

Am I missing something about the references to a body-kit though? All I see is a 916-style bumper and 'shaved' front wings, that seem to have been done a bit clumsily (they have lost their curve, and take a straight dive from the top of the wheel arch down). My favourite bits are the mirrors and the front indicators.

I class mine as a bit of a banger, and I can't see anything on that car that I would swap for the equivalent on mine - so here's hoping it fetches its money.

I would say that the wheels are some dodgy wheel trim the front bumper is horrid and fit for ebay. As usual with these guys I have bought a car from them before to rebuild an Audi Est the cars are priced at the same price as a Second hand market value and then they hang around for ages and then you can make a sensible offer.. my mates had some bikes from them..

This car is worth ( well Tom would know more ) £1800-2200 and that's being kind..even as low as £1500

unless some one puts rose tinted glasses this will be for sale there for some time and will then hit ebay... hopeing for a mug


I used to buy stuff like this easy fix and a little tug it's back on the road

can be worth it but you need the contacts to get things done for the right price..

[Paul Fraser]

Well, that has dampened any urge I had to 'adopt' it!
This one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=017
has the body kit listed as a Pelican parts one.
Didn't know you could get Fuch style wheel trims.

[Paul Fraser]

While we are at it: the rusty silver one at the top.

Blimey - I'm going to have to reappraise the status of mine from banger to pristine at this rate.

[Derek]

You can have mine for £4K

[Helen]

[Nige]
