I cant make out if I can see a 16v badge on the front or on the side? And are those bbs alloys?

those arent the bbs ra that they come with, look like mk3 vr6 bbs

i vote 8v cos of the gap between arch and front tyre, looks 8v height

its the aerial that goes at the back of the roof, not the wing one.

was it just 16v that had a standard beesting?

I'd say it's an 8v.
Because I thought all 16v had a bee sting

you see the aerial above the rear window? thats called a beesting aerial!

yeah only 16v had them as standard and it was because of the higher powered ignition (apparently) so they had to put it further away from the engine
