Thanks.

I called this guy, think he posts here?
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1696046
He said a new hood is about €620 fitted and he has a rear bumper for about €100.

Asking price on the car is €4250 but he said he would deal at around €3750.
At that price the dealer said he would rebond the glass to the hood (not gone on this idea), service the car inc t-belt and repair the rear bumper.

To be honest I'd rather get a new hood fitted and get the rest of the work needed done myself if the car could be bought cheaper then €3750.

Yeah it looks v.nice, the RS would be the one I'd look for too, the issues are def minor, e.g. a mohair roof from Jack Straw is about 250stlg.

Nice car, well done and a good price too. Its a Mark 2.5 which (in my opinion!) is a bonus, so well done. Paschal
