Title: What's a 'Facelift'
Post by: Jimmy Jerms on 16 October 2008, 19:55:42
Now I'm 60 next year so could probably do with one :'(, although I can still get under the CDX, albeit with a lot of grunts and groans.  >:(

But seriously, I've got an X reg 2.5 V6 CDX. So what have I got?

Anything 2000 'W' and later is a facelift. There were some 'W' reg pre-facelifts.

As Andy has said, a facelift....

Facelift cars can be established by the following:

Colour coded body strips
Grille incorperated into bonnet
smooth rear bootlid with only a grab handle, no lock
Different rear lights
Different bumpers
Interior changed including the centre console, as standard the facelift card have a double din stereo (CDX should have had the 4 disc multiplayer unit)
Different centre console and door trims


Lots of little changes that separated the cars

Wow. So quick.

Being X-Reg. you should hang on to it. From Y-Reg onwards, the VED is £400+..... :(

CDX is nice (I had one) as it has a sunroof, heated front seats, and HID Xenon lights. It also have a combo cassette / CD player with built-in 4-CD changer - brilliant.

The engine is the one-before-last model, because from Y-Reg onwards they are all 2.6 and 3.2 instead of 2.5 and 3.0, with much more electronics and much less mechanics, but otherwise essentially very similar.

Enjoy... I did. :)

So what's the difference between a pre-facleift and a mini-facelift?

Any pics of the differences would be good too.
