Near the bottom of that page, the new owner has posted some updated pics. The dent might not be as bad as I thought though as the bumper still looks in line and that was perfect.

Its still looking quite tidy though, shame about the wheels and the dent but from what he says he wants new wheels anyway. What ever he gets id make it no smaller than a 10" on the rear in a 16" rim, plenty of stretch should really fill them arches. even your 9's didnt quite do it.
Just looking at the location, lol its travelled some distance 
Still love the exhaust it looks rude as mate!

Yeh I'd like to know if he bought it from the trader I sold it to (and if he paid much different without the wheels!) Yeh the wheels never quite sat right, it was just my laziness to be honest, I think if it was lowered more then spaced a touch it would have looked better.

cheers mate, your comments are appreciated as you have been in my situation. Yeh the body colour is a lighter grey but it's not that light! I wanted to give the car a classy whilst slightly understated look, it will be the interior that brings colour to the car. But again I'm hoping to kept it understated!
I did like your car, a little too colourful for want be still beautiful all the same!

Bright colours are not my thing tbh! It was at one point going to go purple but I decided against it. This has always been the colour I wanted to go. As already said I wanted it quite understated, and didnt really want to bring attention to the mods that have been done.
Personally I think it still looks very standard, almost like it could have come like that from the factory, this was my aim all along.
Interior plans are set in place and will start as soon as the car comes back. However again it will be subtle yet very custom.

Looks a mint job, a subtle colour like that is a good choice, the wheels will brighten it up anyway.
What's the interior plan then? Something crazy or just keep it fairly standard?

Update 02/06
Well the car is pritty much ready to pick up now bar a couple of odds and ends that can be left behind and picked up at a later date.
The front screen was replaced due to a crack, also had the rear screen fitted at the same time.
Few pics.
Cant wait to get it back now eager to get started on the refit.
