I think the difference is "meant" to be some of the supports between the horizontal slats.......BUT its just a tiny detail and it seems to vary from one car to the next.


S1 had a 3 slat grill (same as orion but white obviously)

Std and 16i had a 5 slat grill, black inj moulded plastic finish.


Don't think i can think of any seperate motorsport grill, unless there was a modification carried out by the teams themselves!
