Horrible, and being an rsi wheres the front fogs gone? and piss poor colour match on the front bumper. Possible front ender? any repaired on the cheap?

Yeah that front bumper definitely aint right. Not a fan of the colour, although some of the best non-RS's on here have been 'rare' colours.

Not the best colour at all but can look very nice with black touches, my friend has done this to his 106 and it looks very nice! Only thing I'd be worried about is that it's had a front end smash that hasn't even been repaired properly, if it drives straight etc you could make the seller aware it's had a front end smash and try get it cheap. Get it cheap enough and I'd say its worth it.

Is that not a "16v" badged car, not an RSi? Just with the RSi wheels.

I was just thinking that - it doesn't take a lot to make the various versions of the 1.2/4/6 standard/S/Si/RSi's look like each other. Could well be just a standard model like Gumby says. Check for electric mirrors and that kind of thing.

I was thinking the same with the front bumper, its not the right one unless it is a more basic model, 1.6 8v maybe. I rang them anyway and they said no offers because they gave a years MOT to whoever bought it. so i;m gonna leave this one. cba to drive 100 miles there and back to look at it really lol

Aye fair enough, there's plenty out there to choose from tbh! I imagine there are easier ways of telling, but the 8v's definitely have different air filters to the 16v's. Think the 8v is a long rectangular shape and the 16v filter is shorter and more triangular iirc. (I bought the wrong one for mine :eek:).

Edit: The 1.6 Si is an 8v, but still has front fogs btw.

The 8v and 16v engines will look totally different won't they?
