Looks like an aftermarket Wing. I call B.S. on "Factory Aerokit." Where is the front chin spoiler? Odd. Something looks off about this car. Check the options sticker under the hood or in your manual.

Equipped from the factory with the aero kit II is a valuable plus. The wing is a work of art.

That's not aero kit II, this is aero kit II

Here is a picture off their website of the under the bonnet sticker with options codes...Notice... No code for aero kit no code for the claimed "Special ordered factory leather sports seats"... which of course it does not have either.

I am not saying you cant buy a car from these guys.... but I would step very cautiously. Do a search here on rennlist and on Pelican.

Good catch by Trader 220. X50type has a phot of a narrow body. But here's a shot of the aero kit II on my C2S, straight from the factory. False advertising for sure.

it is certainly not aerokit II wing (turbo s) and doesn't look like aerokit I wing.
Looks aftermarket (getty / ma shaw to me)

these are OEM aerokit II

This is the typical crap the selling dealer pulls. To be honest I doubt they even realized it wasn't a factory piece or that the car didn't have sports seats. They're flippers, they have proven they don't know much about these cars.

Like I said before.... If the yellow car really is exactly what you want then go see it in person, make sure you get a totally independent PPI and do all of your DD. Just because the dealer stinks doesn't mean the car does.

Do your research on this site. There are a LOT of very astute 93 experts out here that see details many miss. I spent 3 months learning what to look for before I even started looking to buy.

Does that door jamb look odd? Not the stickers mentioned earlier in this threads. The outer body edge. Is that a rub area?

Doesn't seem like a good buy to me. Find a nice car with no stories and you'll be much happier in the long run.

I'd be worried about body work that you'd never be able to get quite right and since they are hesitating on the full PPI, they may be trying to hide something.
