   well just looking at mine its plastic the throttle body but ur surrounding looks alloy, which can be good.. will give a crisper throttle response and less prone to warping but, i may be wrong..

    2000 would be a 90bhp silvertop
    Could be later 01+ 98bhp throttle body (can't see pics at work!)

    i think that all the vtrs have 2 sensors, i might be wrong. im loookin at my old mark 1 throttle body and it has 2 sensors. Your throttle body looks abit different than mine. Maybe one of a lesser model???

    just checked my saxo (2001) i think they look pretty much the same and the metal bit of the throttle body on mine is tiny comapred to that and is plastic... so i think u might have the wrong one.. ill try post a picture up of mine as best i can

    i think you have bought a mk2 throttle body when you have a mk1 so take it back and ask for a mk1 vtr throttle body

    Nope. 2000 has the 90 bhp silvertop - used in both mk1 & mk2.
    Your car has the correct throttle body (now I can see pics!!!)
    is the later 01+ type.

    Your engine & tb is the correct one for the year!
    
    
    DaxVTR has the later (01+) engine which looks like this
    
    
    
    People think (wrongly) that the change happened mk1 to mk2!
