I think the guy is taking the p155 if he expects to take your car and 500 quid, Id either keep on looking or say his car and 1k to you

It has PPP and the Prodrive rear spoiler so why wouldn't it be an RB5 WR Sport?

I've only had my Scooby for less than 6 months. I looked alot into the prices and what was going for what.

I agree with the above, too rich. Either do the swap plus £1500-£2000 your way or look elsewhere.

Theres better out there at the same price or lot cheper.

Don't hurry into just because it has an E-bay deadline. I looked at 7 Scoobies before I took the plunge, and I'm well happy with the one I've got now, and I'm glad I took my time. When you've got the right one you'll know.

I have to agree with the above comments. I had to read your post several times just to make sure I had understood correctly. The thing that really struck me about this thread was, however, how good the standard RB5 still looks. You can see why it was such a good seller. The proportions are just so 'right'. Keep looking as this guy wants the Earth for his example.

Because you can add those later to a standard RB5.

It would need those, plus some other bits, from the factory for it to be official, check the clocks for the "wr sport" logo, that's probably the best way to tell
