Well I think its F7R.

The plate doesnt look like its been swapped, and it answers my suspicions on why the damn thing was quick!! LOL

I'll get some pics up tomorrow then the experts can confirm for me.

The veins seem thicker on the BE which also leads me to believe its a F7R. Just been comparing it to an F7P and there is a noticeable difference.

My other half drove it back from Reading, were it came from, an he did say it was pretty quick. I only drove it once and as above wondered why it was so quick, but thought it may have cams in it or summat we didnt know about as the car came with little history. Was slightly puzzled as it did seem quicker than mine in the lower rev range.

Hence, it answered my suspicions on why it was quick.^^

The plate is well and truly riveted on, looks like its been there some time. Cant see why someone would go to the bother of takin the front end apart to only change the plate?? But hey?

What else should I be looking for to confirm???
