Default type r optional extras

i just wondered if anyone knew the option list for a the v5/6 type r as i had some bloke come out yesterday to sort a bumper scuff he asked if i could remove the fog covers to which i found fog lights behind them is this a optional extra or std fit?

as every other bumper i have bought before either had one or the other.

both the fogs and the covers are genuine subaru so i dont think one has been added later

i have airbag on passengers side aswell think the rs with chubby instead of airbag could be due to later v4s as eariler ones may have chubbys instead?
could be wrong though

WRX flavoured Type R's came with visible foglights, Sti versions of Type R's came with fog covers.

Don't know to be sure Chris, but my V5 Type R Ltd has 'Subaru' part numbered Bilstein Coilovers so they could have been an option when new> you might be better of askingf on the Type-ra site. Lots of info on there for them including sales brochures etc

Be a nice mod if it did/does fit easily

I don't think there could have been that many options for the Type R to be honest
