why are you looking at getting a car that seems very similar in spec to your own? why not stick with what you already have?

Plus, can you make 270bhp without a front mount intercooler. If his claim an oil change every 1000 miles and plugs every 5000 miles there should be loads of reciepts?

it doesnt mention it but it looks like theres a forge intercooler on it.
find out whether its a k04-001 (basically a k03s) and he's being optimistic or its a k04-023 and he's being realistic, if hes got a RR printout even better.
I would definitely think it was worth a gander, looks quite nice for the price but id take someone with you that knows what to look for or do plenty of research.

brake res is on the correct side, bit of polishing or powder coating should sort the engine bay out nicely

That reservoir on the left of bay next to suspension mount, isn't that the brake reservoir? Is that on that side for all you UK drivers?

As mine is directly behind TIP more to the left...

Major TLC needed on it by the looks in them pics but aslong as its been serviced regular the running gear should be all good.

But says FULL SEAT service history, which i dont believe for a second that someone would take there car to main delaer for a oil change every 1000 miles
