Tee from China Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Found what I though was a nice 98 VVTi on PH - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/974212.htm then I notice someone has gone to the 'trouble' of fitting a pre-facelift front bumper, orange indicators and side repeaters on the wings! Seems rather odd to go 'retro' and spoils it a little (well that's what I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Nice mileage - bit pricey in the current climate but the sticker price is never the selling price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 already checked its a bit rough - hence my earlier thread anybody live in altrincham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 And it's got facelift headlights, so where's the side lights? Is no side lights an MOT failure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee from China Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Colour doesn't match either...front end smash? Maybe, but cant understand using pre-facelift parts! Nice mileage - bit pricey in the current climate but the sticker price is never the selling price! Beat them down on price maybe? And it's got facelift headlights, so where's the side lights? Is no side lights an MOT failure? Its got facelift lights because it is a facelift - but point taken already checked its a bit rough - hence my earlier thread anybody live in altrincham Sorry Jurgen didn't see your thread, so not worth making a low offer then?
