Does this undercarriage look right to you?
Hey all,
I've just posted a short message to say hello in the newbies, and I'm really excited to be part of the club!
I'm in the process of buying my first ftype from Inchcape Derby, and have some pics of the underneath of the car. They say no work in the subframe and bracing has been done and, as this is an old code, there's no need for them to take action.
I guess my first question is how accurate that is? The threads I've seen don't show any form of time line..
Secondly, how does the below look to you? This is what they sent me and it doesn't seem too awful, and they've also agreed to "tidy it up" too.
I'd really appreciate the thoughts and expertise of the community, and here's hoping I'm joining you in ownership soon too!

@Therock88 - that's a clean undercarriage! Your car?
@Benji17 - congrats on the (potential) new ride! I'm new here too and need to avoid playing F-type know-it-all! Still leaning...

It seemed like a bad idea on my first ever post. I can definitely try harder when a perma-ban is less likely!
That makes me want to run a country mile. I'm glad to hear my lower half (hur hur) is less rusty than it could be. I think I'll take the sound advice of other forum members when it comes to sorting out this niggle themselves. It'll be interesting what the dealership rustles up during the prep time, so I'll gladly share when I get those photos.
