Hi guys, been looking at APEs as a possible replacement for the Mk2b as they're fairly reasonably priced now. I came across one which is purportedly an SS, but when I ran it through confused.com it came out as PUNTO EVO ABARTH T (163), I would have expected to see (180)?

Are there any obvious visual differences?

Hi mate. I used to have an esseesse. Differences are.
Koni FSD shocks
Lowered springs
Drilled discs all round, floating discs on the front. (Bell in the middle and rotor bolted on), Careful if they are worn mine did 40k on a set but replacements are 600 quid a pair
Set of 18” wheels with Abarth stamped on.
Esseesse sticker on engine cover.
Bmc panel filter in airbox (it’ll be red)
Remapped ecu,

That’s about it
 
Oh and an updated exhaust. Think it was bigger bore and 2 pieces. Original was a 1 piece unit fitted at the factory.. esseesse was fitted after build so has to be 2 piece to get it to fit. Turbo back then rear silencer
