On the lookout for a 172/182...

...for my brother

I personally own a tuned Mk1 Focus RS being a massive ford nut, but am getting my brother to buy a 172/182 for himself as from one of my friends owned one a number of years ago found out they are great cars. Any tips/hints what to look out for would be great...if i remember rightly exhausts are common to blow and the cam-belt change can be costly anything else to look out for?

He bought one today 182 in blue with milltek, eibach lowering springs, recaro tredlines, oz wheels and K&N. 60K FSH and pretty decent condition. Extremely happy, just needs a good polish over and a tidy up.

The front grills look abit bland is it common to spray these? Seen a few with the badge sprayed but how about the other grills?
