Ok been to view this today and I'm very impressed with how it looks and drives although I couldn't really I the metal down in rush hr, but I could definitely feel the power!

Only little concern I have is its got a very slight knock at the rear at low speed which I believe could be bushes?

Anyway what do you guys think?ImageImage

I'm not too sure, I have emailed BBR to see if the know anything about it but I've not had a reply yet!
Why would it concern others? Would it not be a good thing if it's been tuned by a specialist?!

"Specialists" hmmmm. They're not, believe us, neither are total MPS.
Quite a few horror stories about both companies on here.

I don't think it's been touched by BBR but could have been owned by someone that liked them!! The Reg was changed in 2012. And for the price we've agreed on I think I'd be daft not to go for it. And when running cars up there's always the chance of something going wrong weather it's a well known supplier or not, I've had cars tuned by reputable suppliers and had big problems. So I guess it's a chance everyone takes! I'm not saying they are good or crap and that's just my opinion all I can go of is how the car felt and looked, I couldn't fault it and when I go back I'm taking my bro who is a mechanic. Plus I can't right of a car coz it's being sold with a private plate!!!

Nah BBR are firmly on the avoid list tbh

Any further info/history? I don't think I've seen it for sale before.
Looks good with the debadged rear tho
