The OP has already said (in post 3) that it was a private sale.

Had closer look at photo. Agree with Philskill that bonnet/nose gap is larger than normal. Pop bonnet & inspect nose securing bolts at front. You can usually tell if they’ve had a spanner on them as some of the paint on bolt head will be chipped.

Do you reckon that gap is over 4mm? (Spec is 3, +-1mm)

So was it over zealous Pressure washing? £20 says it was ;-)

Thats been repainted,possibly to cover stonechips.

There has been no bonding between primer and basecoat.


Would just get it repainted properly by your chosen repairer.

The gray colour you see is not primer, that's the colour of the plastic front blank!

Exactly that... As mentioned earlier this has been noted before in a few cases.

I'd expect a car of that kind of age to be peppered with stone chips in that area. So probably a poor overspray.
