After the LE, things went pretty fast. The 2.0 20v Turbo received a 6-speed 'box, and a big satin gloss push starter button, the sills from now on were painted in body colour,... but much to the shock of buyers who has considered the Limited Edition an extremely special model, a 'Plus' version reappeared. While it didn't carry all the special red accents of the LE, it did feature all of the other stuff the LE introduced: the LE bodykit, 6-speed gearbox, Sparco strut brace and red coil and rocker covers, a new honeycombe front grille, new 8-spoke wheels and a variety of other things: red stitches on the Recaro seats, light silver meter backgrounds with a yellow needle, satin gloss silver starter button, a net and hooks in the boot, carpet extensions around the center console,... and a new colour specific for the Plus: iridescent pearl white.
