The cam belt cover the same.its the crank wheel which was changed for the serpentine belt on the later ones.Which means in
instead of two belts running the steering pump and the alternator. Its was just the one
The inet the same but depends what your wanting to do

those are powdercoated INSIDE and out. you probably dont want items powdercoated on the inside at all as the surface might get too hot and flake. if they're the ones i'm thinking of then you might want to think twice before parting with your hard earned. read the original sale thread and responses first and then make up your own mind:

you cant been a cavalier on stealths mate, getting hard to find these days but im sure theres plenty over the water in N.I anyway mate

the F1s do suit cavs as well but they have to be the right colour cav/wheel to pull it off, tbh yeah just go with the stealths ;)
