It didnt look like that when I picked it up it had been turned into a dull pink ashtray covered in remains of ductape It shines up well the front bumper is at least 4 different shades of red and it needs the wheels refurbishing but it is a very useable car anyone who reads bad things about the 150 engine don't believe it a very simple easy to maintain and very willing engine it seems happiest between 75 and 80 just hums along not many 1.9 n/a diesel guys can say that

Mine does....which is why I got it. Glad yours is doing the business too!

So do you reckon you will respray the bumpers at any time? Im getting some touch up paint for mine (standard grey ones) but i do wonder how close the paint code match will be to a 21 yr old bumper.

Its a great engine it surprised me with its willingness
Yes I will paint the bumpers at the moment the front one is 4 different paints all different colours and the rear one is just dull i will colour match the existing car rather than the manufacturers paint code after 23 years its changed a bit.
