It's overpriced, I only got a grand for mine a few years back

Mine had speedlines, bilsteins, corbeau seats and sport interior, whitline arb, v6 brakes, braided hoses and a tweaked 1.2 8v aswell oh and fresh Semi smoothed boot

Is it a premium pistonhead ad? I found with mine a ph ad sold it within a week

Roadwork tape................. Ok

Why???

I dont get it

Will many other people get it, you might aswell take a massive dump on the roof if you want to be random, it will probably not put people off any more than roadwork tape

Item number: 290475272258 - £500 (bid in the nuts)
Item number: 230525823381 - £100
Item number: 390236864187 - £80
Total - £680

Do not get me wrong yours is cleaner and facelift BUT just trying to show you whats out there.

Like people have said -
Drop Price - £1000 and push the car as a cheap run around
Tax the car - as people just like to drive cars away, plus £1200 for car £100 tax = £1300
Remove wheels - make the car look standard as you have more of a chance selling it to the 'cheap run around market' first time buyers etc
Remove Springs - same reason as above
Remove Strips on side - As above
Sell wheels and springs to make some money back so you can be knocked on price alittle but still make what your after.

In a nut shell take all the mods off and sell on there own and advertise the car as a very clean well looked after standard car.
At the mo your pushing the car onto a young car market where your biggest selling point (clean, low miles etc) do not matter.

Its a 12+ year old 1.4 Corsa and you're asking for £1,200.. Be hard pushed to sell one at that price with trade facilities.

You're better off putting the car back to what looks like standard (i.e. steelies, remove that stupid tape) then sell the bits and put it in the trader for £995,... DONT list the modifications (bumpers, seats etc.).

No bother I probably shouldnt have said take a dump on the roof, its just my way

I think the tape might make people wonder what its covering up, not just a fashion thing they may not get. I deffo think it will sell better without it!!

Take the tape off and lower the price by £400 or tax it and knock £300 off, way overpriced. Better pictures, clean it.

Lose the disgusting wheels and put some standard sport alloys on and it will appeal to a broader range of buyers.
