looks like a nice purchase but i see a few problems with it though.
its supposedly a grade 4.5 (Small Scratch, within 3 years from first register year, and less than 30,000km) the car has none of them, its been painted in a different colour with the engine bay left in the original black. holes left in the boot etc.
the later models LOST the chrome surrounds around the gauges.

lol i never even realised the rear bumper..
my biggest concern is that they have given it an auction grade 4.5 which it obviously is not. Cars that are new/ almost new are a grade 5.

they brought the car at auction as i have just been reading the condition sheet they sent me and it says the definnition is made by auction.we cannot be responsible if the condition differs from the condition sheet.but i have asked for more photos before they put it on the ship.
