Yes, post facelifts, sunroofs were an option on most but Elites.

Prefacelift, they were standard on CD and higher.

Got these on my CDX facelift, also full leather, must have been optional extras.

I am in the process of seeking out a bose system and rear sun blind.

Just remembered that ive got a rear blind spare. Dont have the parcel shelf to go with it though. I guess you could cut a standard one fairly easily.

Yes, was an option, so if you opted for electric comfort pack, you'd get memory seats, heated rears, and all the memory on the mirrors, inc the autodip.


I have a blind in my hall that is going to the great landfill in the sky - works, but grinds for about 1s after retracting fully.

I have a CDX the same spec as yours then and yes, electric seats etc. were with the electric pack as The Boy has already confirmed.

Basically, our cars are as close to Elite spec as you can be without having an Elite - if that makes any sense!

I too, wish I had an Elite and spend time on occasion searching on e-bay - just not found one yet.  In the meanwhile - the CDX is fine.

On facelift, CDX had sunroof, CD multichanger and heated front seats  over CD.  Leather was option of CD and CDX.

Sunblind was standard in Elite but was discontinued for 02 plate onwards.

1999 is mini facelift.

Your MV6 Bose would have been an optional extra

Sports leather is a (common) option.
Heated mirrors std across range
CCRT700 std on 1999 MV6, CDX and Elite. Bose is option on MV6
Carin is option
Most of bodykit was option
The (rather unreliable) 17" Irmscher wheels std on MV6 only.

For exactly that reason they are unrelaible, they are very soft and buckle easily.

Look great though!

Anyone fart near them, they will buckle.  Its not just potholes (often unseen/unavoidable, but I've buckled one with a big understeer moment.

Anyone want any new MV6 wheels, 2 weeks ago, Irmscher had 3 left, then thats it. No more production runs. £275 a pop as well.

PaulM is selling some, not sure if he's put them back on and selling his facelift ones now though?
