Don't know the car but from that ad you can glean some information

Sensible engine mods;
Silicone hoses.
ACT smooth air intake

Otherwise it looks smart and well kept in the engine bay.

Leven stalks and steering wheel screws but other than that is standard which is nice to see.
Clear indicator lenses at the front and side give it an up-to-date look.

Hood window is nice and clear, so its probably not very old.
Tyres are all very good.
Carpets look unfaded

From the close-up head on shot I'd say there are few stone chips (if any) and the headlight covers look chip free too.

You'd need to go have a good poke around it, especially underneath at the chassis, but with a FSH to boot it looks pretty tidy, well maintained and a nice colour combo.

And its in the fastest colour too wink

Agree with barreti. It would be nice if he said what the upgrades are that cost thousands though. There's nothing obvious (except the smooth bore kit pointed out above) so hopefully it's useful things likes shocks, bushes, etc. not just the odd leven bits.

On this shot I can see some black things behind the number plate.
Are these standard on a 500 and what are they or can someone hazard a guess what they are?
