Phase 1 - C/20XE, 150bhp, different headlights and grille from Ph2, different boot spolier from Ph2.

Phase 2 - 130bhp, X20XEV I think (Ecotec anyway)

That's off the top of my head, Phase 1's the one to go for tbf though.

I think I'm right in saying you can't fit any sort of coilovers to them without a bit of fucking about - I remember a mate with a mk3 LET saying you need to send your shockers away on a P/X basis, and that's just for fronts.

Both phases of Gsi had the same headlights and grille.Just some of the P1 Xe's had washers on the grille.

Aye actually, think you're right. Ph2 non GSi's had different headlights and grilles though - I know this because I got a Ph1 headlight for my Ph2 1.6 mk3 like a right fanny.
