I wouldn't say distasteful, only that the blue on yellow doesn't work for me :shock:

If it's been well prepared and finished there no reason it shouldn't last. Not sure about the colours though.
Black would have been faster :!:

Looks like it's all been done to a high standard, certainly the interior & trimming & the respray look good. But as a whole it's a disaster. A blue car with blue interior or a grey or black interior with the yellow would have been OK.
Quite like the rear treatment looks pretty good.

Especially true in cases of sticking a Turbo badge on a non-turbo car. Heathen.

I'd buy it. Sell the interior & put a black one in :lol: Or maybe sell the car & put the interior into a blue turbo........ 8) Someones put there heart & soul into it. Shame it's for sale.

I like the yellow exterior but agree interior would have looked better in Black. rear end looks nice front looks a mess. I would be interested to see ho the power figure claims are backed up, 107k miles an extra 18BHP from and exhaust and chip seems a little optermistic but maybe there has been more done than advertised.

i agree with most of the posts, the interior would be more appealing in black, the rear looks good, the front would look better without the two bonnet scoops, i wish them all the best on the sale

My old school tie had blue and yellow in it, and that's the colour of Bournemouth.

I was thinking of making an offer, only would be happier
if the holes in the bonnet were filled up - unless they're for a reason,
and the old headlamps put back in, and maybe the original rear,
and without the turbo badge unless there's a turbo in it, the main point being that it's very tidy and it's not a 911 or a 356 or a Boxster.
Thing is, most of my cars were in tidy condition when I got them.
It's just that I'm a target for er, things that happen to my cars.

I don't think you'd be noticed in that, even the parking taliban would leave you alone :lol:

It would worth buying to park it in a focal point of a PCGB main event and arrange to 'lose' the keys or disappear to a nearby pub for the day.
