The headlights are lower down on the fenders. They also have different style nostril grills. Those are the main differences I notice from the exterior.

Above we have a couple of lovely pictures of thoms lowlight-

Look at the Headlights and front wings, the nostrils and the rear lights- These are the obvious details- There are hundreds more though and if you really want to find out I suggest you type lowlight into the search at the top of the forum and start reading!Wink

Below we see a couple of lovely non lowlight models-

...and here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=178045...all 26 pages of them. Very Happy

...incidentally, not only are the headlights lower but the front wing has a more rounded profile.
