Visual Differences between the base 997 and the 997 S?

Hello guys. I searched but came up with nothing.

Im just wondering what the visual differences are between the 997 Carrera and the Carrera S. I know the S comes standard with the 19's and the base Carrera comes with the 18's but thats about all I know. Are there any other visual differences? Is the S wider than the base? Or are the differences just the engine and performance?

Thanks in advance.

Things the S has that the Non doesn't:
-S Badge (HAHA)
-Quad Tail Pipes
-Red Calipers (or yellow if PBCC)
Thats about it from the outside... I am sure I am missing somthing but those should be the major ones....

bi-xenon headlights with those tiny headlight washer spray nozzles are standard on the S. the non-S has halogen headlights with no spray nozzle.

Really? by how much? Is it a wider body or wider wheels that give it a wider stance?

the C2 and C2S are the same width. The C4 and C4S are 44 mm wider across the rear arches than the C2 and C2S.

the most noticeable differences are black brake calipers on the non S versions and the badge.
