Hi guys,
Im in the middle of sorting my rev5 turbo and I want to replace the front two fenders and front bumper which is a border bumper.
I keep seeing that the front wings are different between UK and JDM. What is the difference? and is there any difference in the front bumper between UK and JDM?
Thanks

The panel is the same on Rev4 and 5, apart from the side strip behind the front wheel. UK ones are slightly more raised compared to Japan market.

Correct for Rev1-3 they're the same on Rev 4 and 5. They don't have the 'toblerones'.
I just assumed OP was looking at parts off another Rev5, which of course may not be the case.

Sorry i probably should of been more clear lol.
I know the difference in the indicators. But I was wondering is I had wings off a 1998 naturally aspirated mr2 would they be the same ones that would of been fitted to a turbo of the same year??
I'm pretty sure they're exactly the same but want to make sure before buying! Incase there was a slight difference in the flair of them
Re: Difference between Uk and JDM panels
98 wing is the same. Only difference is a UK/Euro market one has a more raised side strip. You can swap them over though.

I don't like those raised strips. The flat/flush JDM ones are so much nicer. Was it some incomprehensible H&S bulls&*^ that dictated the raised ones for Europe or just an internal decision by Toyota?

No idea, seems a strange thing to have a regional variance on!
