Rear quarter has been abraded along a wall, as has the front corner.  

And goodness knows how long it sat in the recovery pound to get as much green crud growing on it as it has!!

From the looks of it he's parked it under a tree. Bit of T Cut and some Turtle Wax and it'll come up quite nice.  :y

Now i'm no expert but I have a suspicion that it may need a quick once over by Tony at WIM.  ::)  ......unless it's just a trick of the camera on that rear wheel.....

Sheeeet! That looks like hell of a tank slapper!  :o

So, for all the experts, is the rear wing on an omega saloon part of the roof or separate? Could perhaps be repairable with a fair few quid?

Wonder if it's recorded as damaged?

I bet that rear wheel isn't as bad as it looks.  Adjustable rod thingy broken
