The RS-R has a limited edition speedo set which says 30th Anniversary on it.  Also will have come with rear storage bins, alloy passenger foot rest.  Darker finish 17" RS Wheels, larger brakes.  Unfortunately all parts which can be removed.

There\'s a great group of guys and girls with FD\'s in the Milton Keyens area. Look out for their local meets which they have from time to time.

No probs mat,, lets wait untill the sun comes out again we\'ll then have a car wash/ drink or whatever. Really no point sitting nice and warm in the cabin but letting the 7 suffering under the rain.
