Sorry, Bidders, I just saw the question by Russell: we don't see evidence of paint work (however we are not a body shop) and the chrome is in excellent condition. Looks like the detailer didn't bend over far enough!

Hello, a couple questions if you would. In picture #79 showing the underside of the front bumper, are the spots simply water spots or is the chrome beginning to discolor. Also, to the best of your knowledge and it looks as it does, but does the car look to have had any previous paint work. One last question, how far back and what type of documentation (when it says miscellaneous) does the vehicle come with? Thank you for your response. Russell
