    Default What are ALL the differences between the GSI + GTE?

    Hello! i was wondering what all the differences where when they released the GTE + GSI's. Not bothered interior wise, but what about exterior and running gear?

    Cheers
    Mike

    like draper said gte is mk1 and gsi mk2 so bumpers are more square on mk1 gsi has more of newish rounder bumpers
    the mk1 was suppose to be a more solid shell too

    GTE rear bumper is the daddy with the lower skirt

    the GSi is quite a plain rear bumper...and i prefer the wrap-around spoiler to the sticky out GSi one

    yeah i prefer the gte spoiler too. GSI one doesnt look that good IMO. I just wanted a rearwards facing exhaust.
