I'd say most likely rev 1 but may be wrong. I have a file which references VIN's to years / months of manufacture. If you like, drop me a PM with your E-Mail address and I'll send it to you. Alternatively yahoo something like "MR2 VIN numbers" -there's lists out there on the tinternet. There are subtlties like the shape of the trim which you can tell. But I can never remember, and the trim can be changed.

My NA was a J plate and that was a Rev 2.

The obvious differences are the alloys (if standard). 14's on the Rev 1 and 15's on the Rev 2.

The front splitter juts out further on the Rev 2's as well IIRC.

toblerones are your indicators triangular things by the side of your front indicators that flash at the side, unless yours is a rev 2 like mine where you have round ones that are just in front of door i changed mine for clear one's :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:
