Whats The Difference Between Series 1,2 And 3?

[duurs]

Hey, just wondering what the differences are between series 1, 2 and 3 Cefiros?

Cheers

Series 1 (88-)

Grandpa checkered black and cream interior standard.

Front bumper has a centre opening and two equal sized openings to the sides, seperate to the main opening.

Grille is clear, has bars matching the headlights and consists of two equal sized openings.

Taillights are the old 80s looking style with ribs on the outside.

Clear Projector headlights, low beams and high beams on independant projectors.

Series 1A (89)-, same as above, interior was grey or brown as standard, as with series 1 it had other materials available but atleast the standard material wasn't shit.

Bumper is a single opening (equal to the size of all three openings of S1)

Grille is a single opening (letterbox style), matt black.

Series 2 (90-)

As S1a, Better interior again as standard

Centre console and interior 'refined' (smooth single piece centre console on auto's)

Bumper is same as S1a,

The side rubber bumpers and the curve towards the bottom of the doors and quarter panel are different shape and at different level.

Taillights are smooth flat surface type, with black border.

Half clear headlights (clear except for over the projectors and fog lights themselves, which were glazed)

Series 3 (91-94)

Suede interior standard,

As S2,

Bumper is smooth type, has less ridges and curves, the indicators sit lower, etc

Similar tail-lights to S2, but red border.

Normal (non-clear) headlights, high/low beams combined filament.

Grille is the black mesh/chrome centre type, similar to A32.

Series 2 and 3 were available in AWD (Turbo+Auto only) (1990 and 1992)

Series 3 was available in RB25DE (non-VCT)

Series 3 had bullshit luxary spec, woodgrain trim, electric leather seats, 6 stacker cd player, alarm, rear air con, drink cooler, blow job while you drive, etc

That's about all I can remember off the top of my head.

also electric boot opener , basically a button for a electric release of the boot for S3, for those who have the physical strength of a grandma and cant pull a lil lever

cheers, thats what i was looking for

Man you guys know alot about these.

Respect

Have to disagree slightly. Mine is a Series 3, manufactured in August 1993 according to FAST, yet it's AWD and has the clear projector headlights with separate low/high/fog.

Where does the drink cooler go then? I'd love to get my hands on one of those as the standard single DIN drink holder can be annoying sometimes.

[Nic_A31]

drink cooler went in the glove box, just a little pad thing that 2 cans sit in comfortable, dunno how it goes about cooling them, can probably by the same thing now days that plugs into cigarette lighter.

Didn't know AWD was made in 93.

Just looked up your topic in the members rides section.

Your headlights are definately earlier series.

93 = series 3. Yours has S3 taillights (red border, not black). All series 3 had non-clear headlights.

Atleast, going by these old sales brochures I scored cheap off Yahoo.

My tail light centre garnish has cefiro wrote on it pretty big, wat series tail lights are these??

[Nic_A31]

Optional centre garnish.

Applies to all 3 series of Cefiro. It's somewhat more common in Series 2 and 3.
