new front bumper, crystal lights, better interior, larger spolier. vf28 turbo, phase 2 manifold, different cams, inverted suspension and a different dump valve mounting on the intercooler. that is what i can remember off the top of my head.

Thumbs up !!!!!!!!!

Its a 98-S MY99 and the model code is GC8-F4ED, would this be a V4 or V5.

The car is champagne silver, it has all the crystal headlights etc etc and the twin air-bags, and the red on the sides of the seats goes all the way around the top and not just on the sides.

Any help please ????
