Gets worse the more you spot, painted straight over the lovely extruded aluminium door hinges, overspray everywhere, cambelt cover, hubs, suspension, chassis, and looks like they didn’t bother cleaning the bottom of the sills before painting.

Amazed how well it hides what’s obviously pretty severe damage, at first glance, from the outside, it looks fine.

Wonder what it would look like on a chassis jig.

So I'm guessing that at some point it's snapped and spun sideways into a tree or lamppost or something on the drivers side?

Exactly what I was just about to say after looking at the pics. Judging by the bodge job underneath where the crease is it’s been sideways into a lamp post. They’re tricky beasts those 120hp Elise’s :lol:

to be fair, All the information required to make that judgement is in the advert. I've seen a LOT worse attempts to actually hide damage.

It’s alright. Some good information and you generally get an answer quickly if you post a question.

I asked a friend in the trade, he said it's twenty wogans short of an ocelot, so I'd keep your Garys down your frontpipe if you don't want to get your trout tickled titswise. Dripping.
