Fiddly (?) body/trim questions...
Hi, everybody. Long-term Alfa Spider owner, more recent lapsed Miata owner, now grateful custodian of a 2002 Moro Blue/Amber Baseball 225 TT (35K...miles, not $). What cool cars these are, and I have been seeking this color combination for a while.
Some quick questions: 1. Were the front grills both cross-hatched and only horizontal? Mine is the latter, and I have seen some with cross-hatching. 2. Was the red/silver TT in the rear badge logo customary, or an after-market variation on mine? 3. Was the rear badge Quattro emblem omitted from some? Mine doesn't have it, and I wondered if perhaps that was a car wash mod. None of this matters a bit, as the timing belt, coolant sensor, and Haldex fluid change (unknown maintenance history in this otherwise impeccable two-owner car) are the first orders of business, but I thought to ask. Grateful for the forum, and I'll be consulting it frequently, I'm thinking. Mark https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...32fabeec21.jpg |

Beautiful car. I'll let other, more knowledgeable owners answer your questions, although my TT badge is red/silver.

Thanks! As a newcomer one is a little shy about asking obvious questions.
But given that my other daily driver is a 78 VW bus (Westy), I'm used to considerable variation depending on parts/mood/availability/assembly, and I wondered about these little car-to-car differences. So, some TT badges are red/silver. Anybody weigh in on the missing rear Quattro badge, or on variations in the grill? MK |
No Quattro badge means Front Wheel Drive and 180 HP engine. Or, the badge was removed/fell off/was stolen.

Not a 180 with 2 tail pipes showing in the photo

The red & silver TT badge was OEM
