I cant tell whether or not they are suede or cloth, but i am pretty sure it is suede, feels like it. http://www.advancedjapautoimports.co...3s%20seats.JPG they look like that, my seats have been in the sun for a while so they turned purplish like in the link

Yes.
Honestly, everything that makes an R1 can be swapped to a base. The VIN is the only absolute designation.
The car looks relatively stock, so it is unlikely the previous owner went through the trouble, especially without adding the lip. But if you want to be sure, call your local Mazda dealer, they can tell you.

You can also hit up Mazdausa.com and put in your VIN, gives a lot of info about your car.
Last time I checked the R1 lip spoilers were like $105 or so, get it!
Another giveaway - R1's don't have cruise control.

R1s don't have BOSE, cruise, fog lights, or a sunroof, but do have the front lip, rear spoiler, dual oil coolers, strut tower bar, and suede seats
Tourings have BOSE, cruise, a sunroof, fog lights and leather seats, but no front lip, rear spoiler, dual oil coolers, or strut tower bar
Base has cruise, clothe seats, but no sunroof, no front lip, no rear spoiler, no fog lights, no BOSE, no fog lights, no dual oil coolers
I think that's all the visible stuff...
this is just a theory, but if you're car was ever in a front-end collision it is entirely possible the company that repaired it didn't order the front lip.

See I've heard this before too. My 7 has all the tell tale signs of an R1 except that it has factory cruise control. So I went to mazdausa.com when I bought it many moons ago and entered my vin and it confirmed that my 7 was in fact an R1 even though it has factory cruise control. Strange huh? She is a special snowflake

you can add cruise, sgtblue on here did it, possibly a few others, the main control parts are all there, you need to add the on/off button, the accel/decel/set switch on the steering wheel, and the cable in the engine bay, I think that's it.
edit: enjoy cruise on an R1, that's one of two things I wish mine had (the other being base seats, I don't care for the suede)

Most of the signs point to that car being an R1. Although the R1 lip is functional (reduces front lift at high speeds), I'm not the biggest fan of how it looks.
There is a sticker on one of the door sills that may say 'sport suspension' or something like that. I posted a photo of the sticker from my 1994 Base model in this thread:

There may be more R1 vs Touring vs Base differences posed there also.
