Not a fan of the rear.

Aside from a crap advert that looks like a gorgeous car.

Not a fan of the rear.

Half the mileage, half the age of the other one, mods list almost as long as mine and he wants £12.5k for it!

If it wasn't white I'd be getting a chubby on for it.

 

[CJN]

Don't hate on white!

Yeah, just read it again. It's a decent price. Out of my range though.

I'm thinking of doing a FL front end conversion and leaving the rear PFL.. Not sure if serious at the mo'.

 

[Loxy]

I don't hate on white, I just don't clean my cars often enough so it would never look white. I may as well just start as I mean to go on and get a different colour.

I could have got a CW FN2, but realised it would be cheaper to buy a standard one and fit a diff, and I would have to cry every day looking at so called white wheels.

 

[CJN]

Heh.. Fair enough.

I'll clean mine at work.

Leaving work early today. Lieu hours FTW.

Viewing was had, car not bought.

Next!

Pile of sh*t mate? Tell him go for the blue one and not the clique whites

 

[Scousefella]

:lol:

Too many little issues had the old spider senses tingling.

 

[Scousefella]

Sorry to hear that.

Very rare that the 1st car you view is the one, nothing lost so onwards and upwards. 8)

 

[CJN]

Yeah, could be viewing another next weekend. Just waiting for his reply.

 

[AliA]

Shame, but keep looking, there's plenty around.

 

[rossy t]

do youself a favour don't bother looking at any cars for sale inside the m25.

 

[CJN]

Hopefully going to see that copper this weekend. Let's see...

 

[rossy t]

so the bad car was boringwood spec? the best ideas in this thread so far have to be the gypsie wedding DC5s. if you can get one for £5000 you're laughing. problem is they'll all be clocked or owned by shady irwin chums.

 

[CJN]

Re-sprayed front end was a bit suspicious, I got the feeling it may have had a front end bang. He seemed keen on taking my money, looks like he wanted rid badly.

 

[rossy t]

TRAP. well walked.

 

[Loxy]

I nearly said that with the grill. Invariably after an accident people try to get hold of bits as cheaply as possible, bits don't fit and they get bodged together.

You see a lot of pre-facelift EP3s with facelift front ends for this reason.

I didn't want to put a dampner on your viewing though, it's not always the case they've been accident repaired and as you've proved, you're switched on enough to have spotted it yourself!
