There are very late 97 mini facelifts, norm is 98.

No HIDs, No bose, no steering wheel controls.... thats pre mini-facelift.

mini facelift starts with 98 MY, so from about sep 97.  solid headrests, clear headlights, steering wheel audio controls and vin are key giveaways

 :-[I stand corrected gentlemen. I thought pre facelifts were the first L&Mregs maybe Nreg when the steering wheels changed.
    Mine's an early 99 s reg which i'm guessing is a mini facelift?
  So i now know mini facelifts started later than i thought, could someone tell me when they changed (pre_Mini) & what were the differences please? :'(
    Cheers, Guy. :y
