New wing will need boot to be drilled etc but no major issue and I am not totally sure but think you can remove the garnish. Rest of it looks fairly tidy though will be up for major service soon

I actually reckon that price is reasonable, its done less than 100,000km but is approaching the 100k major service mark as well which will cost a bit to do. You could definitely use that to negotiate the price down. Looks clean and seems to have a fair bit of features, definitely worth a look.

very nice clean fto but you need to ask the seller why the cover on the engine is missing

where you can see the oil cap their should be a rocker cover saying mitsubishi v6 24v Mivec

the rear section is holding on with 3 screw on top when you open the boot lid easily removable

if you buy the car and i'l take the rear section between the lights of you for cheap good luck :)

also has nice wheels
