Seen this bonnet on ebay,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Escort-Coswort...QQcmdZViewItem

Seller is adamant that this is a genuine cosworth bonnet removed from a genuine escort cosworth, he has said too me that he was there when it was removed at a cosworth breakers from a rear end damaged car blah blah blah. Im 100% sure its not looks nothing like a genuine one IMO but he is having non of it, who it rite?

Ive emailed him a couple of times Kelv he even told me he was shown a logbook for a genuine escos when he bought it so it must be pukka. Thing is some poor cunts are bidding on it obv thinking it is the real deal, whoever wins it is going to be pissed when that arrives.

hes told me im a child with no job and to keep my opinions to myself as i obviously know nothing about cosworths.

i said the vents appear to be stuck on and that its not a genuine bonnet, i stated i wasnt trying to be funny but trying to help him from getting into trouble if someone buys it believing its real as if he had bought it as a genuine bonnet then he has been misled.

he wasnt so polite with his responses

What a friggin idiot.

I cant see any genuine Escort cossy owners actually bidding on this tho, as soon as i see it, i was like, hmmmm those are stick on vents.

Was gna say as mentioned above, Just get him to send you a pic of the underside, but guess his response was obvious due to it not being genuine.

£200

Ive sent the winning bidder an email stating that what he has won is not what is stated, lets see what comes of it my bets are on negative feedback for this 'genuine' bonnet

Paul, i forgot to add, he claims 'the person who is going to win the bonnet has seen it and can see it is genuine and is happy with it'.
