Hmmm, it's the wrong petrol cap for an escos isn't it? I also noticed the splitter is missing, but something at the back looks not right, can't quite put my finger on it, also, if it really was a rung escos it's got earlier mirror and engine to be on an M plate, could well be a stupidly expensive project but i'd defo stay well away.

I'm sure it's 100% genuine...
Thing is, the guy actually selling it might not know, but it's not something your likely to admit to is it!
