The only difference I can think of is 16" wheels as standard

The UK market16VT plusses had 16" alloy wheels like all UK 16vt, together with leather seats, sunroof and aircon.

The Portuguese market ones may be different.

Didn't the European 16v Plusses have waffle design seats as well?

I was trying to remember whether the stock 16vt had 15" or 16" - been a long time since we saw one....

i believe the best way is to check the headlights, if they have water spray nozzles in front of them its a plus.

As I said, different markets, different specifications.

No UK market coupes had headlamp washers, even the 20VT Plus.

Plus models didn't have anything you couldn't option on a 16vt. The only way to know is the vin.
