A "WR Sport" version of the car was available at extra cost, specified at delivery time by the first owner.

PIAA front driving light conversion
Prodrive quickshift
Roof-mounted map reading lamps
RB5 side and rear decals (and also on driving light covers)
RB5 embossed carpet mats
RB5 interior-mounted, numbered plaque "Limited Edition" only 444 availabl
On the road price: £24,995

They have the same suspension setup as the normal MY99/00 and no there is no performance difference with the PPP RB5 and a PPP MY99/00.

The WR Sport (PPPd) version also has a 'WR Sport' logo on the speedo. And of course, there should be the certificate from Prodrive.
