I believe that is correct apart from the spoiler. I have a tidy 88 spec spoiler if you need one, don't want much for it

My old RST was biult in 89 and registered on a G. It was full 90 spec.

Have a look at all of the date stamps on your panels, wheels etc.

No m8 its not strange at all have had loads of f plates 1988 and 89, the 88 ones were (majority) 88 spec front bumper and rear spoiler 88 spec interior, 89 were normally 90 spec recaros and 88 spec bumper and spoiler from the factory occasionally you will see it different but thats where the owners have changed the interior or headlining or bumpers and spoilers
