bargain alert! £300 i paid. bodywork rust free, no rot in those usual areas. 316 with a 2.5 fitted. conversion is bodged and needs a good bit work but on a whole i'm very happy.

malachite green 2 door, tan leather interior, lowered, 17s, m-tech 2 front i think, m-tech 2 rear spoiler. black kidneys, eyebrow spoilers,

you done rather well there,should fix up nicely.

i'd be looking at getting the rear valance sorted though or hide with a breyton rear bib.

cant be robbed for £300 nicker, plenty of potential

ok i just zoomed in on it and it's not chopped to death

what's that stuck to it,some kind of heat deflector ?

some tacky rubbish. will remove at some point rear valance slightly rusty. boot pockets have slight holes where it meets the valance. so full rub down bit weld and re-paint.

removed 17s and fitted bottle tops dunno if they will be final choice but until something decent and cheap comes along they shall prevail.

kinda like them tbh!

what is it then?

Spoilerless and some 15" BBS with a poliched lip and a darker shade of silver for centres will suit that very nicely.
