you can even make out the bad colour match on the rear bumper in some of the pics.

I cant see that anyone would accept that rear bumper colour match at that price.

This is almost getting to the Trading Standards stage.

There is however a better way.

Fancy doing the honours and saving anyone else the hassle?

Bloody hell Dan I see what you mean, it is a better match to the white on the wall behind than the rest of the car.

What an awful colour match I'm surprised people actually bought a car with the bumper so far out. Almost a candidate for the badly modded Subaru club!

These guys are blatantly lying again on an advert, surely this is illegal?

I had rose tinted glasses on that day and a good distracting salesman who i took too much at face value. He said the bodywork was very good and spot on too

Mmm.......... I wonder

"Boss, there's a dirty great scratch on the bumper of that Hawk"
"Thank God it's white. Ask the decorator to give it the once over"

Seems that ESP have also upset others recently.

Cannot hotlink the Google reviews but there are a couple of unhappy customers on there too. And no mentions of poor customer service from upset white Subaru buyers.

Unfortunately our thread isn't acceptable to carbuyingadvisor.

Interesting that following a poor review in June there were two very good ones soon after.

Ah that's too bad, I'm sure a lot of prospective buyers of some of the machinery they have for sale would love to know about how they blatantly lied about a cars' history to push a sale.

However I think we can safely say that most of the Subaru fraternity (and sorority ) will be steering clear of ESP cars anyway given this thread.

Look on the bright side at least you didn't buy from Keighley

Looks to me like they've been baked in the oven, contact JPerformance they'll tell you how it's done or even do it for you if you want. I think tubbytommy has done it to his car too.
