Couple of points:

• Exhaust does look a bit low - don't drive up too many kerbs!
• What's that passenger grab rail screwed onto?
• Who pinched your ignition switch?
• Throttle cables should go inside of headlamp "ear"

Other than that - looks like a UK model - just repainted at some time.

Oh, your tax has expired too.

That exhaust is too damnn low to the ground and all the visible bits say its a uk/european one, Definately Non Standard paint

The grab rail is bolted on to the plastic seat hump.I'm going to take this off as it's not very secure. My key snapped off in the ignititon switch and I can't get the broken piece out, so I'll have to replace it.
What would you recommend I do with re painting it, should I go for candy sapphire blue which Brianj pointed out or should I be going for a UK spec colour?

Unless you want to enter competitions, it doesn't really matter. Go with what you like.

Get a set of prpoer decals though as that will put the finishing toch on it. They're not cheap but will bring back the original look.
