I don't know whether I prefer the styling on the 888, never really liked the idea of sticking bits on to a factory bumper but that looks well. I think the colour helps. White cars have never been out of fashion

while the engines 888 got were rated at 120ps they were actually detuned 150ps 16v engines. the 120 is a 8v engine normally and makes about 177ps with the 888 map. oil cap is at the bottom left with an 8v and middle right with the 16v
