Headlights, side air bags, and I think different A/C display (but not 100% on the a/c). Others will know for sure.

Cos I don't know, I do know that I do not like the later model plastic look to the inside, particularly the center bit with all the controls in it, prefer the earlier ones :P :P :P

I've have both and the earlier model definately looks and feels more up-market. I don't dislike my facelift interior, but the pre-F/L just has that something.

on mini facelift elites got bose and hids. general spec improvement across range. new headunits with sat nav and phones. solid head rests. engine updates. steering wheel controls for radio. generally they are much better!

Mines an S reg 1999 cdx auto with leather seats/trim. Just read the links here to the boys post and am a bit confused :-/(nothing new there then). According to the link, if the electric window switches are either side of gear lever its a pre-facelift and mine are there, not on drivers door, but then I have radio controls on steering wheel which is a minifacelift change apparantly-or is it simply a cdx option? Bye the way, although the Bose is undoubtedly a very good system, I prefer the look of the plastic walnut and black controls on mine too :y

There are 3 versions
Preface lift
The 'Mini facelift is just a subtle variation on the PRE-facelift
Then there is the full Facelift version. Astra style bonnet, different interior with window switches on the armrest rather than on the centre console.
You need to see all 3 next to each other  :y
