Body work looks nice and clean - but then again you can't see any of the weakspots from that angle!
If you can live with the wheels, thats your call. Tinting isn't going to help the value at all unless you find someone else who thinks its cool.

Go see it, with a mate - preferably someone who owns one.

Looks like mine, but in silver. What's wrong woth the Alpina reps? I really like them. Ok they're 17's and not the original 16 alpina size, but I don't think the ride quality suffers all that much.

Wheels are a personal choice, I didn't mean to come down hard on yours. What I was trying to say was that if he likes the wheels and tints then all the better, if not then he should think twice.

I like the wheels but not the tints the bloke spent Ԛ£200 on tinting them but they can be removed ,I've already seen the car and the only rust i could see was on the rear door section when you open it just below the stricker plate that about it

gazza325cab was looking at it, but when I HPI'd it the dates didn't tally.

May be nothing, but it put me off.
