The paint whilst still very shiny is peppered with stone chips, front bumper is similar. Theres dents in the bootlid from it being pushed around the pits. The rear alloys are peppered with stone chips. Its always got the remnants of stickers, taped lights, camera mounts etc. hanging off it. The rear bumpers got a big dark burnt patch on it from the exhaust and you know what? I wouldn't have it anyother way. To me it looks better with the wheels brake dusted up, discs glowing, headlight cracked and steam pouring out from under the bonnet. It means its being enjoyed. Matt
