never seen it before, looks very clean, only thing I can spot is it has too larger diameter tyres on the front which has raised the front end by 13mm which won't have helped the handling at all, if it sells for anywhere near the asking price i'll be very surprised.... as its more expensive than a LHD

I like the look of the wheels, they suet the car well but agree the front ain't right! Looks tidy but Christ £24k is crazy money for that car.

looks like they have standard width 225 tyres on the rear on some 7.5/8 inch rims which is near enough to standard dimensions, they've also mounted the same on the front which will mess things up for the handling,

just had a look at the engine bay photo.....

its got an aftermarket exhaust, cant really see the install but looks ok, but they've just left the EGR tube attached and chopped the end off that goes into the original exhaust and left it hanging there.

next they've installed some dodgy looking air filter with a load of different sized hoses going in and out, it looks like it's got two air feeds to it.....

someone at a bolt on bling establishment has struck again :shock:

it also says its a "Meriden Approved" car.... looking at that I wouldn't buy a pony from them :shock:
