Stupid question facelift/non facelift bumpers

[Matt L]

Does anyone have a picture of both the facelift and non facelift? as i dont know which one i have and i dont know the difference .

 

Did try looking but couldnt see anywhere to see the difference .

 

also whilst im here... im planning on get the bumper resprayed (possibly update it if i have the old one) but if not im possibly going to go down one of 2 options..

 

1 - smooth over the gaps where the reflectors or so its totally smooth mess the front grill

2 - removed the reflectors and mesh the gaps + the front grill

 

(will be doing a photoshop later to see what i think so will upload them once they are done).

 

but what are peoples thoughts/opinions on my ideas? or has it been done before?

 

Cheers

Matt

The notch gives it away to the people in the know.

The shapings of the side reflectors are different too......

The line under the lights on the facelift extends past it on the face lift, but stops flush with on the pre 06.

+1 If your side reflectors are flat, then you have a pre-facelift. If they are pyramid shaped, then it is a facelift model.

I did a double take on this as well. I still can't see it though

I was under the impression that the facelift had the Xenon lights so have the washers in the bumper too.

All UK cars have the headlight washers
