Exclamation OAP Pete

Re- Recaros !, has full "Recaros"... yes they were retrimed in 2008 [ Think] by Steve [3Dr Steve] But yes ALL Recaros...now in Red Velvit with standard leather bolsters. Im very happy with them... Front "Grill" no idea, looks perfect standard to me, yes the "Fogs" have gone, now have N/S for Air intake to "Turbo / Power steering" intercooler, O/S is forced Air intake to Kenlow Filter. Grill looks as far as i can see Normal Cosworth!.

Pete, i think your eye sight is living up to your username if you think it's a standard Grill.....

Just pop into your garage and have a looksie over the headlights..

This is a normal grill on mine, yours is sloped over the lights...
