Why go to the bother of changing the alloy wheels for fake ones, seats and dash clocks also changed, then sell it because it requires a clutch slave cylinder? :?

Also notice that the rear light clusters are the face lift ones not the originals.

I seem to recall it's Cat D (hence the facelift parts) and if you have a look at the MoT History and description it had clocks changed at 160k that were showing around 40k and it's not showing 111k so it's done 230k plus.

I think I'm getting better at this but I had to look hard - you know they're fake because that's a valve in the rim not hidden behind the centre cap?

Exactly, and of course they are not the original alloys for that year..... 8)
