Looks like a front end smash as no front parts are being sold.

The bloke who has had the ed30 knicked a while ago has confirmed it looks like his, so I wouldn't bid or commit to anything on the car untill you know the full story.

Yipes! Sad ending to that story if that is the case. Could the police not get onto the eBay seller and find out where the bits came from?

Not sure of the full story, sent him a text and he said he's nearly 100% sure its his stuff, everything matches up so he's taking it from there. Don't want to know the fine details of it just hope the bloke gets it sorted.

Looks like a front end smash as no front parts are being sold.

I think if it had been a hard frontal, the milly would have taken a tw*t, and the DP would have bent.  The engine would have been moved back.

Would pay to be wary i think...........

Come to think about it, does the DP look ok?  Seems to be mis-shaped?

I'd wondered about calling for the DP but wasn't sure if it was a milly??? Glad i didn't.
