Thanks Dave - your summary makes it sound so simple!!

Shame. If nobody takes it, may be worth braking it and getting some of your money back on it.

Any pics of inside and out - I may be interested and can collect, soon?

chinners 23rd February 2019 20:08

I'll try and work out how to get pictures up tomorrow, thanks

Can't work out how to show images here but I've shared a One Drive folder at https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsDPn9W7yzNnmhK4ELLRiUbforl7

If there are any particular images anyone needs, let me know and I'll add them to this folder, thanks, Mark

Pics of the rear spoiler are to show a scuff mark and some paint crazing - it makes the chrome strip look faulty but that's actually just reflections. Some minor rust starting to come through at bottom of rear near side passenger door too. I'll keep this thread going until end of week which will be my deadline for disposal.
