FRP - removing the stupid spoilers??
Have look at this car:
Not a bad price and good mileage but looks terrible i think. (Bad exhaust, stickers and spoiler)
What i want to know is, what would it cost me to get rid of the spoiler and fill in any marks it leaves behind - and would it still look different as if its 2 much trouble i'd throw the idea out of the wind.

a bodyshop can sort that peice of piss, will need to spray the whole boot lid tho.
thb its a little cheap, they usually go for around 10k so if its all good its a bargain
deffo do a hpi if your seriously interested, and also get shot of those fucking gash wheels

Agree with Dan on this one.
Check carefully for paintchips especially rear arches and front end.
Also make sure cambelts been done and its got plenty of oil.
If the steering wheel is very dirty, dont worry as long as the alcantara is attached and intact as an hour with a soapy bowl of water dabbing the wheel will bring it back like new.

I've asked him if he has the orignial wheels already as they are horrible.
I really need to know prices from Ł?? to Ł??? max as i'd just not drive the thing looking like that
I'd defo do a HPI on all the cars i go for - i'm not getting caughtout for the sake of Ł10 thats for sure.
Only thing i'm worried about is what type of person buy a car like this and does that to it - Just look at the size of that Exhaust

If the mileage is genuine and its got a service history then its a good deal if less than Ł10k as there aren't many too low mileage ones left now.
Exhaust is easy to change. Most of the work sounds cosmetic so if the paint is otherwise in good nick you might have a good bargain on your hands.

That would be a piece of piss to sort out sell the wheels then go to the body shop and get it all sorted properly a cheap job is usually a cheap job for a reason

This is what it used to look like...

I'd be more worried about ghosting/fade where the stickers used to be.
