Call the midlife!

It could be down to the tyres to a degree and probably also just me getting used to the characteristics of a small, RWD mid engine roadster, instead of the Mondeo that just goes where you point it!

It's all fairly minor stuff, fingers crossed, apart from the central locking and immobiliser the rest is cosmetic. I knew it had had a replacement rear wing from what they said had been someone scraping down the side of it while parking or something. The bad respray is on the door bottom on the same side so that follows, same with the rear bumper. But that's me looking at it with an owner's overly critical eye while getting up close and personal while cleaning it.
It's a 16-17 year old car that's in bloody good nick compared to many cars of the same era and "high class" manufacturing. I tried a 2.3 CLK and that was rotting from the bottom edge of every panel, crap steel.
I've had it since Wednesday and don't regret a thing [emoji38]

Can't see too much to worry about in these? But I think I'll take it off in winter and get everything cleaned up and nice.

When I take mine off (hopefully this weekend) i'll take some pics for you. You can't see the big hole in mine unless you get it up on a ramp.
At which point you realise it could potentially be a death trap!

Cheers. I took those while it was up on the 4 post having wheels aligned and couldn't see anything major, plus I've spent a lot of time laying underneath the rear end but like you say, until you get them off...
