You can get 302R 3 doors too
I'd heard the sapphire 302R was made in very low nubers as well. Somewhere around the 10 cars?

Between 50-55 304-R's made. Not many left now.
However that does not make them a desirable car. I think they look well odd with the kit on. Seats look ok back spoiler looks a bit droopy side skirts look kak.

As Macca33 says above, I think they were 225/50x15 - certainly it mentions that size in the article I've got. I think Rouse specced Yokohama tyres as well ( possibly AVS? ).
It also mentions that they used to re-shape the wheel arch liners with a hot air gun to avoid fouling on the bigger tyres.
Happy to be corrected though

Yep, just checked and it says Yokohama 225/50ZR15 tyres and 4 hours to re-shape the arch liners.
Also higher power headlamp bulbs and twin blade wipers?

Can any owners get some decent pics of the seats? There was a 302-R at Central Day but it had seat covers on and I was hoping to get a proper look!
30-04-2009, 07:44 PM
