yeh good luck.

I dont know what other people think, paint cracking might be something that can be expected on a MKIV with age.

It just doesnt sound right to me, sounds like a dodgy re-spray which might be a result of a crash.

HPI check is £39.95 by the way, so a bit of a burn of cash if you ask me.
