• Both rear corners
• Battery trays
• Rear valance
• Rear arches
• Outriggers & jacking points
• Cab doors (new skins fitted)
• Paintwork isn’t perfect – she’s a head-turner, but not a show queen just yet!
• Has been off the road for a few months, so could use a light recommission/service before daily use.
