Its the one that was for sale on PH a while back with the Std M3 bumper

KarbonKid noticed one of the fluid resevoirs was at a ludicrous angle so quality of repair not brill. It still is on the piss in the eBay Ad

I Have the PH add and the photo's to go with it.

That's the same CAT C CSL that's been on "For Sale" now for almost two years :banghead: It's the one that use to have the regular M3 front bumper. Looks like they've replaced it now but there are lots of little bits & bobs still missing under the bonnet and who knows how poorly it's been repaired . Also Cat C (being worst then Cat D) suggests this CSL has sustained substantial damage (bent/cracked chassis I'm guessing + £3K worth of NEW CSL bumper) to be categorised as such. The Insurance Pay Out is based on the percentage of the value of the car at the time of the accident and I think if repairs breach 50% or 60% of the value of the car it gets Recorded. Since clean, low mileage (sub 20K miles) CSLs are still fetching £30K + today, that one was probably £40K+ few years ago when it was 11K miles at the time of the accident, making a guestimate repair bill in the region of £20 K :119:
BTW, I wouldn't trust that pre repair picture either as it doesn't really demonstrate the seriousness of the damage. I'm guessing both chassis legs were pushed across to the near side.
Let him brake it for £20 K as that's his thing and hopes, by self admission.

Picture looks like it has the plastic piece missing from the front panel too.

I would stay clear.

[mattCSLnut]

Well done Steve :thumbs: you've saved me the hassle of picture whoring ;) :hahaha:

I tink thats because its non AC, but I might be wrong, should it be there regardless?

All CSL should have that Air dam trim, regardless of A/C or none A/C :thumbs:

I'm very proud of you Stevo :thumbs: ;) :hahaha:

[Ian]

I think it should be there anyway. I looked at this one without AC and it had it.

[DazBlackCSL]

I Just noticed it has not got any headlamp washers either. Should it not have these with Xenons?
