Yeah, I've had the inner trim off already. Thanks!
Mine looks like it's had a wee shunt before, perhaps a badger or something. 2 of the 3 tabs on the bottom of the front bumper are snapped, and the metal bar behind them is a little bit bent.
The passenger wing has a tiny bit of bubbling at the leading edge too, and there are various ltitle bits all over the car with scratches repaired. Looks good from about 10 feet away though! 
At least my rear beam is in good condition. Apparently it was replaced about 3k miles before I bought the car. It doesn't look all shiny or anything, but definitely seems in good nick. Could do with some rear brake pads though, I think.

I dont have those 3 tabs under my bumper. They mysteriously disappear when you lower your car. Ive got a bit of bubbling but oh well! All the cool kids run camber so meh. My rear brakes are seized... so i fitted gti6 ones to the front. Duh!

If you check through the thread, it is glaringly obvious which parts have been painted. Seems he's done more or less the same as i have in mine.

It failed its MOT, Ive had to send the tax disc off now to SORN it as its not insured. Needs new P Bushes and a new rear beam and then its good to go. The chassis leg on the passenger side is damaged from a car crash and from being towed. It looks alright but its fairly ruined underneath. Its saveable but i dont have the time.

So the list of work that needs doing to get this back on the road...
New Rear Beam,
Drivers Side Wing,
Boot Lid,
Complete interior and plastics as it is all stripped,
Suspension needs bolting in,
New Wishbones and P Bushes,
Inlet Elbow needs reattaching,
Boost take off needs refitting,
New Battery,
MOT & Tax.
Quite a big list but not impossible. I may be swapping projects at work which sees me doing a commute down to southampton each week may be better to get this fixed up and on the road than doing it in the 1.8.
At the moment its stil at my grans but covered in dust...
