Reconised the plate.
The realised its a local maccy d's car near me.
It looks respectable in that picture.
From what I recall its slammed on its arse.
I always thought it had a 2.0 in it from how it looked, now I know.

You used to be able to buy the kit to near enough convert an normal X20XEV to XER spec (Basically Crank, Pistons, Cams, Manifold & Software) , but they went for around £2-3k a few years back
