Rough Mugello Avant

I got a pain in my hip when I saw the rear-quarter. Very rough. Front tyres look to be gone, probably what caused the prang.

So probably needs 4 new tyres, 4 wheel refurb, front bumper, front wing, rear wing (lots of work), suspension looks dubiously low and mirrors are either sprayed on non RS ones. Thats a few quids worth....
