A rare beast only 8.8k on the clock

Looks nice but a Cat C write off at some point which prob explains the bumper / offside wing not lining up very well.

Pretty sure that's just because it's a facelift.

Nah if you look it's definately not sitting correctly on the offside front especially compared to the nearside however it's prob not much of a big deal to get it right. Other than that it looks nice.
I'm prob nitpicking a bit but it is up for top dollar.

Why does it being a facelift have to do with anything?

I believe that the front bumpers never looked liked they fitted properly (or at least as well as original), larger then expected shut lines and alignment issues, compared the better fitting originals.

First I've heard of it after 15 years of ownership.Sounds like one or two need an eye test.It doesn't seem to stop people paying a fortune for an original MK2 premium bumper.
