Then there were two

[nickg]

ATR number 2 arrived today, I have some plans for them both but its very interesting seeing the difference between pre facelift and facelift.

The Twins together

 

[ATRScotty]

Looking good, not to sure about the wheels on the face lift though but just my opinion, I have the face lift but prefer the pre face lift rear bumper. But both look clean

 

[You Jay]

Looks good together!

 

[Danger200]

So what's the difference? :lol:

 

[nickg]

Thanks guys,

the differences I have found so far is the face lift has all electric windows but doesn't have air con, instead of a face lift I think its more of a face down, no front or rear splitter like the pre bumpers just don't look as nice as the pre, just my views, i could be wrong which to be fair is normaly the case

 

[emmsyluv]

Nice looking cars - although I much prefer the prefacelift ATR

 

[dobe]

So how you gonna drive the two at the same time Nick?:lol:

 

[R555]

That looks great, I've always loved the ATR

The pre facelift is my baby :lol:

The silver one is just a donor for now and will be going in the new year.

So how you gonna drive the two at the same time Nick?:lol:

It takes alot of skill , not driven the silver one yet as its a non runner for now

 

[R555]

Was the ATR for the Euro market only or was it out in Japan too?

 

[nickg]

I think they did the Euro R only, (but I could be wrong)

 

[EP3 Pete]

Can never fault a pair of twins

I agree with the pre-facelift having the edge.

 

[Milano trev]

Nice.. ATR is a nice car. And as said above pre face lift looks better.. It just looks wider and has more of a presence rather than being more streamlined IMO

 

[Walkden]

Huh. There is no difference in the body.

 

[nickg]

yeah I agree, the pre has a better stance about it, suits the spoiler better and looks how it was meant to, the facelift looked like a base model with a badge and spoiler stuck on.

I was gonna buy a facelift ATR about 6 years ago but every one I seen was a bin and the owners wanted funny money, so I ended up with an Accord sport as you say Nick the only difference bodywise between the 2 was the rear spoiler and badge.

Your old faithful is a belter though.

 

[Walkden]

Spoilers are the same too...

Front grill & badge is different.

Pre has no Red H. Post has a Type R red Honda badge & different grill.

Only other difference is the aerial. Pre mechanical extender ( that's prone to sticking ), post has a modern stubby aerial.
