Looks reasonable. Front looks straight. Rare colour.... Icelle Blue I think

Welcome to the club BTW

That rear has me a little concerned though. looks a little dented in around the tail light. And looks like boot and bar doesn't line up right.

Paint also appears to have lots of chips in it. Which would mean cheap paint job.

Doesn't look like Icelle blue to me Dwayne. Looks like a custom purple.

Is it just me or if those are stock exhaust tips, is the right one bent in towards the other?

May be worth a look at, but if you're keen on it I'd be haggling it down a bit.

If thats the case, it has been a complete respray, including engine bay and the paint in the engine bay does not look recent. The colour looks right in some photos and not others ill admit

If I do buy it ( just waiting on my loan ) I will be cleaning up that engine bay

The paint is purple and the engine bay is black.... Probably the standard/original black
