Ok guys, little update. Went down to see the chap re the grille and headlight covers. Car has already been sold so not prepared to swap any parts over.
However, and I'm very tempted at getting this just to sell on again for a profit (or if its got C2 leather I may break it and then sell my C1 leather), have been offered an X reg C2 V6 with tax and MOT for just £750. Got to go back and see the car tomorrow morning as its not currently there. The chap wants it gone by thursday or its going to auction, need to find the cash now depending on condition of the car.
