The front bumper to the right of the turn signal glass shows a larger abrasion. It is also noticeable that some of the side protection strips are already cracked. Otherwise, the paint is in an age-appropriate condition, according to the seller, an accident can be ruled out, there are no modifications to the exterior.

Tires from the Michelin brand with 1/3 residual tread are mounted on the aluminum rims, and there are apparently no complaints about the brakes. Koni shock absorbers, which are adjustable in hardness, are installed in the chassis.
