can a face lift bonnet be fitted to a pre fl ? i rekon you may well have it about cock on then Jim, very tidy... :y

need facelift bonnet, scuttle panel (with washer jets), headlights, bumper, washerbottle nozzle (unless bottle is different too)
Same washer bottle, and you don't have to change the headlights the only diffence is the pre facelift headlights are rounded at the bottom corner where it meets the grill.

My mini pre face lift cat has the same scuttle as the acelift cars, but with blanks where the washers would fit

I prefer the facelift overall although I prefer the front of the pre-facelift ;)

Agreed and as someone said before, the PRE face lift cars don't have the 'corporate Vauxhall' look of the Astra & Vectra. I much prefer the swage line that runs from wing to wing across the bonnet.

Voted facelift, although having the pre-facelift in the past, as it is better looking and some how more refined :y :y :y :y :y

I still like the look of the Senator best though with its great 'cheesegrater' grill and longer bonnet!! :D :D :D ;)

Like the External appearance better of the facelift especially the elite stock alloys, but still like the interior of the mini facelift better as not as much Plastique!   imo!

Drive both of them, must admit when I got my MV6 facelift really was not keen on the bonnet thing, but for me the FL is such (or seems) a better drive, so voted FL.

Looks like facelifts are running away with it at the moment(apart from the interior !! )

Maybe ought to have a poll for best looking car.  Jim's  would certainly be up there .  Very tasty !

Jims looks the dogs, and considering its a 96 model year, more the credit to him for doing such a good job :y
