Blackline vs Cloverleaf (repectively)

150 Vs 170 BHP (i think)

No Q2 Vs Q2 (i think)

Black Vs Variety of colours (exterior and interior)

No sport Button Vs Sport Button

Nicer alloys Vs not such nice alloys (only my opinion mind!!!)

blackline badge peels Vs cloverleaf not peeling

 

More kit and more power on the Cloverleaf. The Cloverleaf was quite a bit dearer than the Blackline when new too.

 

Both were available with Q2. It was an optional extra on Blackline. Cloverleaf Q2 got the sports button and 170bhp.

Cloverleaf was available in black, blue or red with black leather.

 

Just to add to the confusion, some earlier diesel Cloverleafs were standard 150bhp without a Q2 and without the Sport button.
Later Cloverleafs had the Sport Button, 170bhp and the Q2 diff fitted.

Blacklines came in 1.8 and 1.9 form. I might have dreamt it, but I might have seen a 2.0 one as well....

If you want true limited edition appeal, get a Q2, the actual Q2 spec GT, not a GT with a Q2 fitted as an option.......if that makes sense!

 

I forgot about the petrol models. :blush:

 

Did cloverleafs get thicker anti roll bars? I think Roswell mentioned it the other day. Wonder how they compare to the eibach ARB's?

Damien.

 

The uprated bars on the Cloverleaf are robbed from the GTAs, so the Eibach ARBs are still thicker.

 

Thanks pud237!! still the clover must be a much better original setup?

The GTA anti roll bars came with the "Q2" in both 150hp & 170hp versions.

Front roll bar same as GT3.2/147GTA/156GTA
Rear roll bar same as GT3.2/156GTA

 

And the 147 GTA rear ARB is basically the same as the GT3.2/156GTA one except the 156/GT one has a little wiggle in it to miss the fuel filler neck. You can fit a 156 GTA or GT 3.2 rear ARB to a 147, but you can't fit a 147 GTA rear ARB on a 156/GT

 

So that's how they got away with 'uprated sports suspension' on the marketing then? :vomit:

:lol:
