Trying my luck

[jonbrown]

Does anyone know anything about the car below? Also am I right in thinking that the front grill is normally black and not colour coded?

Also from the photos could anyone say whether it has a cup pack, as it has the anthracite wheels, am not completely sure about the rear spoiler and it doesn't have a front splitter :S

The other thing is what colour does the instrument panel light up in?

Thanks in advance

Looks like it has the cup spoiler. Grill should be black, as should the fog light surrounds i think. Instrument Panel is Orange light on black/grey background, standard, but that has blue climate control read out, there is a post on here about how to convert it, so the dash may have also been done.

This one is all blue on the instrument panel which looks quite nice, but I was sure the other two I looked at were orange. Thanks for confirming I am not going mad!!

It's just got a colour coded front end, splitter probably got smashed.

I never thought of that, must admit it does look better in the flesh than in that photo!!

Too silver imo. Needs the black to break it up a bit.

Yeah it looks a bit weird!!


As said, the black's needed to break up the silver.

Where is this car? Reg looks familiar!

 

[jonbrown]

its for sale in Norwich and was last owned by someone in Mattishall in Norfolk but I believe the plates are Manchester!!

Well there was a EN04 plate 182 near York but that was blue from memory.

Still looks familiar as I'm up near Manc land.

I thought the same about the the price, they did say they would MOT, Service and change the cambelt as going on 5 years thats due in a couple of months. Oh and a 12 month warranty but that might not be worth anything depending on what is included.

It is immaculate inside and the blue dash does look very nice, just a shame it's got a couple of scratches on it, one of which the garage said they will try and polish out (looks like it's run along a hedge and is not deep at all) but there is a deeper one on the rear bumper in the bottom left corner, it's only an inch or so long and the left front wheel needs a refurb to, but with very limited knowledge about things like that I would need to pay someone to sort it out for me.

I would guess de-colourcoding the front end with the grill and fog light surrounds would be a reasonably easy task to do, although not really being mechanically minded I wouldn't know how is best to get back to the black look.

Would people tend to think by the pictures that it does have both cup packs, but it is missing the front splitter?

It doesn't have the black plastic covers on the grill either so could have had the bumper resprayed or replaced. Check behind it as it could have been a case of 'oh while your putting the bumper on can you just colour code the grill'.

Just my 5 pence.
