Give black knight on the mlr a shout about the Evo. He's the man that does all the HPI checks on them and will tell you if its genuine or not.

Probably lol. My mates gixxer was a machine off the line. On the move tho it was a hell of a lot closer than I expected.

Yea i got it, mechanically its mint with the full history promised, interior is mint aswell, body work has a few bits im not happy with which my mate is sorting start of june:
Clear coat peel on spoiler inner upright
- going to re do this bit
Scuff on bonnet that runs to wing
Stone chips
2 stone chips on passenger side windscreen pillar
- respraying the full front end and blending into doors
It has a couple tiny carpark dings that are being removed
One qaurter will need a small repair
Rear bumper is a differant shade
- Spraying both of these
I have pics of the bodywork which my mam and dad think is good nick but imo its tatty, mates sorting it for £3-400 and unlike johns m3 he will have the car, i know it will be perfect.
In the future the calipers will be refurbed, some new wheels (not to copy but ill most likely copy jay) and some coilies..
Nearly crashed it on the way home, dropped a cog on a country road and hit a hidden dip at around 110 leptons.... Held well but i shit myself properly

Yea might even just get springs tbh as it wont suit slammed, when i have coilies the car seems to get lower once a week untill its bottomed out.
I also really like the splitter and skirts he has.
Probs just going to go for clean and tidy look, dark and silver never fails imo

Looks a good base to start with.
The "im not John-d" act isn't really working now. Few things you have just said kinda give it away.
Bumpers do always tend to look a different shade to the bodywork, and silver is probably the worst for it, especially in picture's so i wouldn't worry about it. Ive had my fair share of silver cars and all have been like that.
