    MK1 RS / R limited Optional Extras

    Hi 

    Does anybody have any info on the optional extras choices when buying a MK1 RS/R limited from New?

    Im led to believe there was a side "skirt" option or rather bolt on side parts for these?

    There was a side trim, but it wasn't a RS/R-Limited exclusive part. It was more like a sill cover in black ABS plastic (to match the lip spoiler) than a decorative piece.

    Very rare, though there are FRP replicas about.

    That could hide alot of rust!

    I have these on my S Special - I think they look great. They are more of a rubber material than abs.

    Thanks. I have the identical ones on my R Limited. Yes they do appear to be rubber ish. The rust comment is valid as well. I take mine off regularly.

    Was thinking of removing totally and selling hence the questions.

    Thanks

    Any ideas how you can tell the difference between the real things and the replicas.
