What is the difference in looks between a GT4 and stand Emira?

Ok so the GT4 is a stripped out lighter V6 with a different gearbox etc., but I’d be interested to know the other differences.
1. Are the 18 inch wheels available and can a 305 wide rear tyre fit?
2. Does the GT4 have extended side skirts or a different rear splitter because it’s hard to tell?
3. Is the bonnet carbon fibre or the same material as the bonnet? With an aftermarket bonnet it would be good to have them ready to spray so no weave would show.
4. Is the front splitter carbon because the one I saw was gloss black?
 
I was wondering the same thing about the splitter gloss black vs carbon fiber, in this picture it does appear to be carbon fiber. Hopefully someone that has seen a GT4 in person can confirm

The one I saw was definitely black gloss but it could have been painted. I like carbon but I also think black gloss looks great.
 
The Engine layout def looks better through the glass. I didn't expect it would look THAT different, but thats cool.

Are these recent photos and if so is the GT still at the dealer? I live close by and would definitely make a trip to see it up close.

Photos were taken on March 29. I think they may have two now?
Call over or just stop in; always a lot of cool cars there to look at!
 
How does the rear hatch open on the GT4? Does the wing come up with the hatch even though its on the outside or does the hatch fully detach and slide out from under the wing?

I’m not sure. But if your trying to work out how much luggage you can get in a GT4, it may be the wrong car for you 🤣
