A LITTLE OFF ? Lol any further forward and it wouldnt be on the car lol... i wouldnt bother mate.. appearance gives me the impression its been RAGGED could be cheap for a reason... there might even be slam panel damage on it hiding beneath that bumper... looks like its been off for som reason, I may be wrong mate but iv seen similar examples hiding a lot of nasties underneath.
Just to add... Its a bit of a vague advert, Very basic IMO !

wouldnt bother, too expensive. no mot or tax, front bumpers hangin off and it will take far too much effort to sort everythin.
also, mk2 with vtr alloys?

lol i think so
just to add, I can see where your coming from about making it standardmate, the thought of taking all the shit off and having a nice clean vts is a fair idea.. but thing is the guy whos had this obviously put all that kit on and made it look sporty so maybe he drove it like a twat and ragged the engine. So, if you got it, you might not end up with a standard vts as an end result... youll probably end up with a a vts standard thats a bit naff condition... that needs a shit load more work than you think. For a similar price you could get one thats muh better, With more pictures..... 1 Pic for an ad doesnt fill me with confidence in the seller or the vehicle... it tells me theres things you wouldnt want to see.

Or it looks like the kit thats on the car doesnt line up with the bumper, same goes for who ever said the rear beam is bent it looks to be just the rear bumper and the stupid skirt making it look out of line, as for the front bumper if the vt arch was back on it would line up with the bumper as the arch on is made for the bumper to match that kit.
:panic: please dont shout at me

i thought this at first but it looks like plenty kits ive seen before and they dont look "that much" oversized compared to standard... when thinking about it logically id think why has it not got decent alloys on to match the kit? and where is the fibreglass bumper to match the kit? then id answer myself theyve been smashed hence the sale, yep im quite happy ppl remove alloys etc to sell cars and put them to standard but wheres the bumper?... you have to think about conditions/appearnaces of cars from the first glance and think nah theres a rabbit off...and leave it there, this is how ppl get ripped off, fair do's there could be perfectly logical reasons for it all and it be a spot on car but is it worth the hassle when there pletny better about fro cheap/same price?

could be wrong though mate, but i would steer well clear tbh like, anybodys money though? ...thats why if it really looks too good to be true just forget it because you could go and view and intstantly fall in love even with the probs... then buy and get it home and realise then/few days later etc etc youve had your eyes poked and your fucked.. thats my opinion but you really do have to be on the ball these days ppl are out to steal your money everywhere

Id steer well clear of that car.. firstly its too expensive for no tax and everything, plus he says its in good condition, well i dont see that.. the front bumper is sitting wrong, could be a bad reason why its like that.

Indeed..... lol a 1 picture sale...I Dont think so :) .... you can tell when somets genuine as you will get loads of pictures and maybe one of a small scratch or dent... Not what you want to see but you respect people for being honest... Mines got a dink in the front bumper Very small, But if i came to sell and never mentioned it i would expect people to think suspiciously.. so honesty is the key..As said... add looks to vague
