#1 be very careful buying a car with very low mot, look out for obvious head gasket problems, fecked rear beam, knocks and bangs when driving, clutch problems, make sure the heaters work etc etc
And remember 350 may sound cheap but once you factor in £220 for a tax disk, £40 for an mot and whatever it may cost to get it through the test all in the space of a month it soon stacks up!
#2 as kent said theres a good chance this has had a front ender so make sure everything is straight.
#3 phase 2/3 seats will fit in as long as they are from a 3 door
#4 its sigma blue (very nice and desirable p1 colour)
There are plenty about, in fact puglove has bumpers and skirts for sale iirc
#5 that is a keycode immobiliser, you have to enter a pin number before the car will start.
There have been a few cases of these fecking up and leaving the car immobile. You can unplug these and run without them, im sure someone will point you in the right direction.
#6 that is either a pov spec or replacement pattern part bumper from ebay, the original bumper/foglights have likely been wiped out in the crash.
#7 if you break it up you will/should make your money back quite comfortably but it obviously depends on whats on it and the condition of parts.
Group 50? Think they are pulling your plonker mate!
They are a lower insurance bracket than the 1.8xs
