Default Bosscat version?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1508666781...84.m1439.l2648

Hi, bought this the other day and i've done some research myself but cant decide if this is a bosscat sport, or a mix of a sport and a 'team'? any help appreciated cheers
(ps, car hasnt arrived yet so cant really answer any questions yet, )

Rear purple gearbox plates are from the works. Front shocks are from the team. Chassis is hard to tell - can't tell is it's carbon (works or team) or WFE/S1 (sport). The carbon chassis would have had cell slots, and I can't see any on this one.

Looks like it has a slipper clutch, which would have been works or team.

Rear shock tower looks random, and I can't make my mind up if the rear shocks are Schumacher (team if they are) or from something else.

I'd noticed the rear tower looked a bit dodgey (possibly home made/botched), was looking at the rear shocks a bit more closesly on my phone (same photo but iphone can zoom a bit) and it looks to me like they have collars on rather than the clip type spacers from that time. Thanks for your input Matt, i guess im going to have to wait and see re the chassis.

You can zoom in your browser too (just tested in Firefox and Explorer):
Ctrl + mouse scroll wheel

To reset the zoom:
Ctrl + 0

Well, I never knew that worked to easily zoom! works on Chrome also.

So, the rear shock bodies to look like bosscat team ones - but the mounting on the bottom arm, or maybe even the shafts must be different. As you say, looks like an adjustable collar on there for the spring.
