the only little thi im not keen on are the rear park sensors,,,they are not the normal ones because of the lower skirt, and stick out! Apart from that i think its pretty damn nice and Yes Steve, i actually prefer the looks to the escos, and ive loved escossies for YEARS

Ginge depends on the spec mate! Expect to pay from 10-16k ish for a 3-6 yr oldish 330....smaller engines then go a bit less!

This is well hi specced. Basically, whoever bought it new ticked every fooking box Rich fooooker

Id personally get shot of the parking sensers asap. Or at least get them re-positioned so they are in the bumper, not sitting proud. What do the standard versions look like. Cant remember seeing those monstrosoties on any others.

Anyway. Nice car. But a little plain, which is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

Personally Rich i dont think it is plain in anyway. I think you must have clickod on someone elses pics, or youre blind

Park sensors will stay, as holes are in the apron for em, and theyre not 'that' bad to warrant spending shit loads to move em.

Dont get me wrong its a very capable car, but, its just got no presence on the road IMHO. If you debadged it whose really going to know its a 330?

Anyway you should have bought this Schnitzer tuned car.



THAT'S road precense
