Default Calling all Type R owners..

Whats the differences between a Type R and Type R V Limited? Been told the V Limited has a longer 5th gear, but what other differences are there? Different interior? Quite fancy a Type R V Limited, version 6 if possible.

The V6 STi Type R V Ltd had 16 inch Rays alloys, an exclusive instrument panel, alloy pedals, STi Titanium Gearknob, Serial number plate (1000 made) cherry red grill bage and "exclusive" body colour. You could get the bullet shaped mirrors to save weight and aid the aero profile.

But no doubt someone else knows something else.
