Mid boxes are the same pre and post facelift...backbox is different...although I really hate to disagree with The Boy :(

I have a good condition genuine Vaux backbox here for pre facelift if you want it (also may be good condition mid boxes on the car I'm getting at the weekend to strip)

P.S. Is it a saloon??

Centre sections are all the same for the V6's and do not change based on age, they are different between estate/saloon though.

All Back boxes are different....
