it happens all the time dodgy cars bumped, chucked together and sold on.
we had an tdi 08 plate tt in at work a couple of weeks ago. guy had bought a few months ago.
brought it in for a service/check over.....
first we noticed the dodgy looking wiring to the head lamps (re-wired plugs to the headlamps cus it doesnt have zenon lights anymore. zenons have a 14 pin plug on them normal lights have a 10 pin plug).
loads of filler in the inner wing.
head lamp washer flaps in the bumper, but no washers/pipe work in the bumper. pipe blocked off from the washer bottle.
paint peeling off the underside of the bonnet reveailing a different colour.
panel gaps nothing like on the drivers front.
the guy haddnt noticed, we pointed it all out and he wasnt happy, said he was guna sue the the small car trader that he bought it off.
we did a hpi check on it while he was picking it up and that came back clear.....
