Hey Everyone,

I just have kind of a dorky fun one here. I am going to school with someone who drives what appears to be an 850R. However, i am not entirely convinced. I'd like to ask anyone who knows - what are the tell tale signs of a fake R? And what are the signs of a real one, because I know they are a somewhat rare breed.

I can tell you, he's got a standard 850 front bumper, no front spoiler. Just your run of the mill bumper. He's got the badges, the 17in Volans or Titans - not sure, the dark charcoal grey ones. He's got the wood grain dash, leather wrapped gear shifter and hand brake. Sunroof, what appear to be two tone leather/suade seats and R spoiler. Everything to my eye spells out R, except for that bumper. Is there something else I should look for that would give it away? Anyone who owns an R would be able to tell me some of the very very subtle differences which discern an R from a Turbo?? Colors, weird interior features, theres got to be something. Help me out, I have to call the kettle black on this one, if he's driving a fake R - let the light of truth shine upon him!
