History

Purchased this in July 2019 after part exchanging my 2015 1.4 Corsa and I've loved every minute with it. This car made me love driving. I wanted something fun and quick and this was certainly it. I'll be sad to see it go, but honestly I need something that can carry a MTB or two. Looking to move to a 130i or something like that.
I've recently carried out a 2-step "paint correction" over lockdown, as well as painting the calipers and a couple of the chassis braces that were looking very tatty! Paintwork is as good as its going to get, very glossy and smooth. There are a few stone chips on the bonnet area, probably can be seen in pics. Being completely honest the front bumper is starting to crack between the grills - totally forgot to take a close up of this, please zoom in on the pics on Google Drive to see this. That said it's not obvious until you look for it. Wheels are going to need a refurb if you want to get them looking perfect, again see the pics.

I've done my best to look after this car, I'd genuinely love to be in the position to keep it forever and use it as a weekend car. Sadly that's just not possible for me at the moment.

Happy to provide any more details upon request. [EDIT - ADDED LOCATION ABOVE]

Jamie_z4 - it was more about the ratio of views vs replies at the time but you make a good point.
