Bullshit. Type R is the same as GPX - no difference. That is just aftermarket dial faces with a stainless steel insert.

    I think it may just be a silver painted stock gauge surround, its certainly not an insert.

        Wait, what?

        How can side skirts be an issue with the unchanged body of the car.

        I thought you were talking about the dash cluster being an auto but you weren't clear in your response.

        There was a guy in the UK selling aftermarket FTO parts years ago. Type F was the brand.
