Ok - that's why i was confused. Just bought a '95 C4 and it had amber rear turn signals - so this means it was changed from the original (was a US delivered car) which was red - correct? Think I will change it back

I do have the G/21, and the Euro suspension (930?) and LWF so that's all good

I think apart from that and a pioneer 6 stacker it is stock

Actually I believe AWD ROW models had red signals and RWD ROW models had the amber. So one of your prior owners changed it to amber.

That's correct all US had red.

Cool I personally like Red more, but it appears I am in the minority

Somewhere along the way I picked up the idea of there being internal build differences btw the USA g50/21 and RoW g50/21 gearboxes. Yes gear ratio's are shared, however internals are slightly different? No? Shortly after 993 production having ended the PAG Werk 1 facility tech's swapped a new RoW g50/21 in my USA MY98 993. The late production USA g50/20 gearbox was crated and is stored in Wiesbaden.

Bill Verburg - Can you shed some light on this "internals" specific?
