previously CAT N, think they could have made more effort, clearly its got an earlier grille fitted instead of the correct one for the year . . . .it doesn't look right !!

It’s got a “pre-facelift” (07-10) front bumper complete. Also lots of glossy black “highlights” - grilles, fog lights, door handles, etc. No doubt the reason for being Cat N will be obvious when seen up close. Don’t trust the glossy pic!

Not just the grille ...... but the whole front bumper.

22 months between last MOTs & 2000 mls

wonder if someone pranged the front end but didn't get it repaired through insurance (or at least through a reputable bodyshop) and didn't want to fork out for the correct bumper and dynamic trim ?

it would certainly require a through check on the front structural elemenets behind the plastic

not sure if that Mauritius Blue or not

As a Cat N definitely pranged, as a Cat N no structural or chassis damage. 22 months between MOT would account for accident near the end of the last MOT, arguements as to whether it was written off and fault, who the actual owner is for payment, sent out for bids, then sold at least once, 2000 miles on trade plates moved between owners and repairers. Worth a bid if you are going to run it for many years and collect the correct parts could even get near normal trade after 5 years my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
