NB8a is better if u wanna turbo charge, NB8b is newer but not hard to interchange interior and exterior but i think the front end on nb8a looks better with mods.

the NB8A and NB8B have a different shaped front bar, so there are different grilles to suit.

you have an NB8C, which has the same shape as NB8B.

nice colour, by the way :wink:

The series 3 is a NC, you have a series 2 or to be pedantic 2.5. Truly the best of the NB in terms of refinements, the SE I consider to be too flawed a project. The SP is prob the best all round performance package, essentially a NB8B with a tasty turbo setup.

I have the same model NB and bought the plastic mesh grill from U.S. ,cut it a bit to fit and sprayed it black. Quick cheap job and keeps the cane toads out... :roll:

No, fog lights are standard. Just very clean. Only 26000 km on Scooby. He is very spoilt.

Yeah Bootz, the Meisters are really cool I really like them too. I am thinking about buying a set for my Subaru GT-B but they are 18" so a little pricey.
