Vehicle Detail
I purchased the vehicle as a rebuilt title in 2013. Since owning the vehicle I have had zero issues and have racked up nearly 20,000 miles. I imported 2010 exige body panels from the UK in the summer of 2014 to convert the car to look like an Exige. There was no damage or incident that has occurred since I have owned the vehicle.Some of the upgrades I have made to the car include:BWR Wheel Stud KitBWR Harness BarFull Headers + Sport Cat + VF exhaustGlossy Carbon Fiber Side ScoopsMatte Carbon Fiber Full DashMatte Carbon Fiber Airbag CoverMatte Carbon Fiber Air Vent SurroundMatte Carbon Fiber BinnacleMatte Carbon Fiber Speedometer surroundDifflow Diffuser------------------------------------------Please make no mistake, this car is completely functional and driveable but it does need a little bit of TLC to be really great.- Headlight lenses have severe UV damage. My attempt to smoke them out as a short term solution turned out like complete garbage and the headlight lenses resemble a dry lakebed with many cracks.- Interior bits need to be upgraded to carbon fiber: upper/lower sills + center console and steering column are missing- Rear hatch is a single skin panel and therefore does not have mounting points for the Exige trunk hinges and needs to be secured with a hood pin type mechanism. Being a single skin also caused problems for mounting the mesh inserts and I had resorted to using small zipties as a temporary solution. The hatch ought to be replaced for a nicer finish and proper mounting solution unless it's going to be a track car or you just don't care -Windshield wiper motor went haywire on me so I took it off and use Rain X if needed. ------------------------------------------I am a highly motivated seller and I am sorry but I will not be able to take the risk of holding the car for any prospective buyers. I have priced the car at an extremely fair price and with a little bit more money invested into this car you will have something really special.
