I find this 1.2 Merit on Pistonheads and end up visiting the bloke.
He turns up in a 1.6, (maybe a Sxi dont know), and shows me around the merit.
I end up looking at some of the fault's it's got and knock him down a bit and end up buying it.
But here's my problem.
We both added eachother on facebook and it seem's as though he's had this car for a long long time and gradually modified it to look a bit newer and colour coded.
Ie, Whacking a spoiler on and painting the front bumper.
Im aware of the fact this has the parts off the 1.6 he has bought because he has moved the parts he liked off of mine, the 1.2, onto his 1.6.
So now i have 3rd hand parts on my car that he actually hasn't put on very well. ie, the spoiler and the grille and the headlamp.
But now im 17 and 10 days away from my test, im getting a bit ticked off looking at it because it still has the sh*tty plastic back bumper on it.
You know, the merit back bumper without the edge thats usually colour coded.
So my question to you guys is.
Shall i try my best to ignore the silly plastic bumper and get on with modifying it properlly?
Or...
Can i buy a 'edge-painted' bumper off a newer corsa and whack it on mine and paint it?
Which leads me to another question,
Any of you selling one? (if the answer to the previous question is yes.
)
, its ur car if u like how it looks f**k every 1 else. do what eva u want to it if u screw sumit up go to the scrappy and get a new part or what eva.
