If you bought it second hand, it is possible that the original owners did not go with the rebel kit, but instead chose the NCO of the series 2 kit. Weird, but it could have happened. You'll have to post up some pics so we can see what you mean.

looks like the standard AU3 XR8 kit. You appear to be missing the 2 pods off your front bar though, unless the didn't come out with them?

*salesman voice* Why you only have to look at the top of the page.. and click on site sponsor AWC's banner. Have a look through the AU2/3 XR pages and you should find it there. Thank you, and come again. :

Hi there!

I really love my AU II. What a car! Wouldn't mind the one or two extra of an AU III, but I'm not going to change for the sake of it.

Regards,

Etien.

Gotta be the AUIII.

Just love the finish, and little things like the sunnies holder in the roof lining. Have to admit the JMM mods have made a great car even better.
