Mj86 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I believes there is bonnet difference between DE and HR... Quote
Ekona Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Bonnet bulge is the only giveaway (assuming it's not been changed!). Everything else could be found on a DE revup car, so that's lights & bumper. Quote
HaydnH Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 The bonnet bulge is the main thing, although there could be DE cars with replaced bonnets so that's not a 100% sure fire way to tell. You're best popping the bonnet and checking for the double air intakes. Quote
veeg33 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Also different headlights - DE have orange reflectors on the sides, HR doesn't. However as all the above, check inside the hood (double intake for HR, single for DE) to confirm as bonnets and headlights can be swap. Edited February 24, 2016 by veeg33 Quote
LloydZee Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 HR Bonnet bulge. HR Twin intakes. The HR also has brighter orange reflectors I noticed. The DE have a dull dark orange colour. Cleaner looking engine cover, whereas the DE has the 'half n half' sort of look to it. HR Headlights don't have an orange reflector down the side and also the actual headlight unit is larger inside. HR rear lights are more modern looking too if I'm not mistaken (maybe hard to tell between the DE facelift and HR?) Oh and a HR owner looking less impressed with their road tax contribution Quote
coldel Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 When did the front slats change? Was that for Revup? Quote
Ekona Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Also different headlights - DE have orange reflectors on the sides, HR doesn't. Nope, as I mentioned above DE revup cars have the better headlights too. When did the front slats change? Was that for Revup? Yup, revup. Trust me chaps, the only single external OEM difference between DE and HR is the bonnet. Everything else could be found on a DE-engined car (as long as it had a revup engine in).
