acf8181 0 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 none! lolwell, basically they're just late spec cars with all the options. you can get a non highline with exactly the same spec.they only come in black or mulberry, and will say highline on the log book. beware thats theres loads lare spec fully loaded vr6's sold as highlines, but they're not...not that theres necessarily anything wrong with them.

MarkGolf 6 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 1 thing I will never understand is WHY they put a wooden gear knob in, when everything else was black! Link to post Share on other sites

six appeal 53 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Door lights are slightly different on Highlines I think? Some of the latter ones have reflectors, not lights as on the highlines. LOL, got to laugh about the amount of times this thread comes up! Link to post Share on other sites

RALA 0 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 The wooden gear knob is bizare, I think someone somewhere ordered the wrong thing and they had so bloody many of them they tought they would put them on the highline?? Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 lol it wouldnt surprise me... maybe the whole highline idea was just to shift those wooden gear knobs... and the colour concept was launched to use up the dodgy paint that no one wanted Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 how about engine differences? Don't highlines have the 2.9 spec inlet manifold etc.? Link to post Share on other sites
