Default Looked a nice one for a while.
Been checking other classics to see if I've priced mine right as not had a lot of interest and I stumbled across this on flea bay. Thought it looked tidy with good mileage plus front splitter and sti rear lights and a little higher price than mine but 10k less miles and factory PPP, but then noticed something that would make me walk away straight away at that price. Can you spot the problem?

Where to start!

Moudly steering wheel
Hawk WRX seats
Wheel arch things on the back, hiding rust?
And then the engine bay....All that effort into keeping the outside nice, and then you never ever open the bonnet.

It was the wheel arch trims that would have made me walk a mile, only one reason to fit those in my opinion and it's to hide something.

As soon as I spotted the rear arch covers I knew that would be the problem!

1. The listing is all in capitals.

Both of the above are pet peeves of mine, so I closed the advert down before I even got to the pictures!
