how do i tell the difference between the plus model and the 20 valve 6 speed?

Red stiched recaro's
Strut brace
Red Rocker
Red Brembo's
Side Skirts
Front Lips
ID-Chassis Number-floorpan

bla bla bla etc

Thanks Carl, have found a car described as a Plus but none of the above except for the strut brace. Don't know about the chassis number - what should I be looking for if I ring the guy? If it doesn't have all the above is it a 6?

Red stiched recaros are the hardest to get, just ask if it has them

If it hasnt all the above then its not a Plus.

Its a 6 if it has six speed box, silver 180 dials and push start. 2000 registered, usually w-reg's.

Thanks again Carl, it would appear to be a 6 and not a Plus (goddammit!) Oh well, will keep looking. Cheers

This is a plus

why does it have to be a plus??the only difference between a plus are a few tartish details which dont make the car any faster/handle any better/brake any quicker,all they add is insurance cost although i must admit i like the side skirts and front bumper spats but thats only reason i would buy a plus over a 20vt and it would only cost £200 to add the skirts/sparts,about £20 to paint the calipers,£100 for strut brace ect

You Call Recarros tartish

Go wash your mouth out and hope that CarlT does not see your comments

Sounds like someone is trying to justify why they didn't get the better model. Normal 20vt seats are not very nice. If I had to get another coupe I wouldn't even consider a normal 20vt, plus or LE only IMHO.

Well my boyfriend (the f*cker ) has bought himself a 20vt recently just to play with while his Evo VIII (FQ300 with 370 bhp!) goes in for servicing and his vt seats are just fine. I like the styling mods on the Plus but the prices they are commanding just cannot be justified

Just fine is different from Great. Bet the evo is a right animal.

And this is a 20VT(6). The side skirts are colour coded but straight unlike the plus/LE ones.

They just have the sills painted. No skirts required.

Another thing you could try, if you know the licence plate of the vehicle, is to input it into the RAC data search:-

RAC Data check

If it's a plus it'll say 20v turbo plus

as is this too:

all the best bits - none of the lairy bits

A plus is hardly lairy !

They're comfortable but not supportive. Big difference between 20vt armchairs and his Evo's Recaro's.

Only for 20% of Plus's mate.

See my reply here if you wonder why.

Im too unwell to bother retaliating to be honest.

We all know anything bar a Plus is inferior. Ok maybe an LE especially a slut red one .

Well I have a 20VT(6) and it has a Strut brace and optional Recaros (not red stitching tho). I just need some lips and Skirts and I will basically have a Plus (bar some red parts).

I looked at a few Plus when buying mine but could not justify the extra cost and insurance.

Good luck with the search

What are you after in particular, any preference?

I think that when you see a car, you either like it or not regardless of which model it is.

Good luck

wella ctually the plus recaro's aint tartish its the le that has the horrible seats

justify??erm why?if i wanted a plus i would go and buy one,simple as but i dont see why they warrent an extra grand on the price of a 20vt when they are no better to drive :)my 20vt seats were fine,you must just have a fat ass

I think plus's look great in pictures and much better than painted sill models, but in real life the plastic side skirts do look plastic and stuck on.

The recaros are better than the standard seats.....although no lumbar support. Its a sports car so recaros are just the job.

Strut brace is ace!

* i also think that black sill models look really nice in pictures as the car always seems thin and low, very ferrari like!

Jayzee, I have posted a wanted on the forum but basically - having spent more time on here and seeing a few more coupes - I'm after a 20vt/20vt[6]/Plus. Def need leather (black) and aircon, Porto blue or yellow Originally had a budget of £3000ish but have found a few more pennies so just looking for the perfect car! I'm very fussy though so may be some time before I find one, though I think I could navigate the forums etc in my sleep now!

Erm 3k wont buy a decent 20vt 6 infact thats just enough for a decent 20vt really.

Look for a decent one, as apposed to high reg & spec as you will end up buying a shed otherwise.

I bought mine of a forum member in spetember for £6300 see here

If you want a 20VT(6) you gonna need to rethink the budget i would guess £5k min and a plus is the better part of £7k

£3k will get a reasonable 20VT

Good luck
