#101
Exactly - it's a completely different shape to the headlamp lens adn upper cover - compare these two shots:
What we presume to be #059 is the only F1 with these unique "eyes".
Also, what is behind that set of lenses is unique as well.
Note that the HID projector lamp is located in the outer position on this car, and then inner position is occupied by a strange rectangular lamp for the high beams. Typically F1s which have been fitted with HIDs have the standard large round lamp on the outside, and it is the inner lamp that gets replaced with the HID projector. Here's an example of the standard F1 headlights on #047, and then the typical converted HID setup on chassis #036, off and on.

That's the largest version shared so far that I have seen. You can always try to contact Spyder through the website listed in the watermark. There are a few other shots of #036, as well as some nice ones of #011, and a few other F1s in the gallery over there.

I'm sure it was just a special request from the owner. Something to differentiate his F1 from the rest.

I quite like this shot of #036 as well - the size comparison with an F430 is quite striking for anyone who's never seen the F1 to know just how small it is.
