So things that put me off is how low it is and the fact it's a 3 door and I've got a baby on the way. Oh and tax next month (I've just taxed vento)
The car sounds awesome really like the look of it apart from bonnet and headlight easy to sort tho.
So what u guys think?

Go for it if he'll tax it or you can un tax the vento
That said have a good look over it as the guy who owns it is clearly not too bright (see if you can spot the incorrectly fitted parts) and if he can fuckup something that simple what else is gonna be wrong? How is it lowered, is it a decent lowering kit?

Lol, hadn't noticed until you'd said that...but that is a bit of a fail. 
As for what to do...make your own decision, only you know which you want more lol.

I think it's pointless, I 100% guarantee you'll flog it within a month of the baby being born.
What's wrong with the vento!?

Wipers are the wrong way round....the long one should be on the drivers side, not hanging 2" off the passengers side... 
Edit - Yes the side repeaters are also backwards lol!

:Lmao: you know me to we'll
But baby not due till October so that's a long time for me to keep a car probably be sold by then
Nothing really major little bits and bobs, just really like the 306 tbh oh and the fact I carnt run straight veg on vento anymore but I'm in process of twin tanking it so I can.
I carnt see ant issues either tbh?? The guy is a decent lad I've had a play with pump for him (still needs setting up tho)
I'm really swaying to keeping vento tho its gonna be so much more practical with a baby. Well if I still got it then

My wiper over hangs slightly. But I guess they could be the wrong way round.

Drivers side one is clearly too short though lol. Flat blades do seem to over hang the passenger side, but not that much.

Passenger side doesnt really over hang just doesnt bend enough to touch the screen for the last inch. (When fitted the correct way round)

Yep wipers and side repeaters are the wrong way round. If you cant get that right you've gotta be a right mong.

Nope, the point should be at the top, that's the right way.
