Need help with buying a MG ZS with 180 bodykit

Hi all, am currently looking to buy an MG ZS 1.6 or 1.8 but i am after one with the factory fitted 180 body kit. I have found one on ebay here: http://urlPass.com/64sm. The reason i need help is because i noticed that the rear bumper doesnt have the rear wheel arch spat extensions that i've seen continue round the rear bumper, is this normal? I would say not but i have also seen another one for sale on AutoTrader with the exact same setup, full bodykit but standard rear bumper. Just wanted to check with people with more knowledge than myseld before i commit and its too late.

Problem is, MK2 body-kit is as rare as hens teeth. It's NLA new so the only supply is salvage. Break or lose any and it will cost you an arm and a leg (and a pint of blood for security) to replace, if you can find any!!!!!
The rear spats are especially rare (I've seen broken ones on ebay go for over £50) and only come up occasionally and are fought over which is why they are most likely missing of the one your looking at as they simply couldn't get any.

Cue PatPendings famous Pic ;)

Thanks for the quick reply. So it's as I thought that the rear part ofthe kit is missing, just found it strange that I'd found 2 out of half a dozen that had the same parts missing!

I take it this picture is the famous red shoe pic I have seen browsing round the forums earlier? Aren't the spats off the Chinese model identical so you could get some of those?

I hadnt noticed the wind up windows! Spotted the bodykit but not the window winders. I though every car built since about 1934 had electric windows at least in the front?!

My Mk1 was kitted out the same, no aircon and windup windows, yet it had electric powered and heated mirrors, whats the point in that?!
