   Furio is a mk2!
   Do you mean a westcoast??
   
   To change a mk1 to mk2 (or the other way) you'll need to swop the wings, bonnet, grill, headlights, trim under headlights & slam pannel.
   Bumpers are the same on both.

   erm well the westys have 75bhp and the vtr has 90bhp so there really isnt much diffrence bud if you got a decent breathing kit (inducation kit) and exhaust system you could easy get 80-85bhp from the westy so no performance wise not much between them standard...the vtr felt more sluggish and less resposive then the 1.4i as well m8...

    its the same engine as the westy so i cant see it doing any harm and its already in
    
    the 1.4i is used in the 106,206 and saxo's

    think you'll find there will be alot of differences between the 106 sport engine compared to your westcoast.
