Seperate...no visual signs of X50 pack on such an optioned car over a standard Tubo..unless tou can tell the diff between K16 & K24 by looking under the engine lid?

More protruding lower front spoiler and a bi-plane rear spoiler. I think they also paint the lower side sills?

Buster retrofitted a kit to his black X50.

Isn't the X50 slightly lower than the standard car, so an eagle eye may spot this from the outside?

How? the extra weight of the larger turbos?

GT2/3 have the adjustable suspension, all TT's are the same I beleive.
I thought the only diffs apart from Turbos, ecu, steel synchros was an uprated clutch?....Daz??

Just checked the P website and you are right, the overall heights are the same. Must be going mad

Have a good weekend all.

Sounds about right. I think there is also a minor difference to the inlet pipe of the exhaust (allows it to sound louder than standard turbo).

Wrong way around. The X50 is slightly higher due to the drivers wallet being lighter to the tune of £8.5/9k.
