Hi people

my baby is poorly and needs n/s headlight to get through MOT ... Fleabay has a pair for £25 for a prefacelift model , which I think mine is but not 100 % sure .... mine has a low centre console around the handbrake . black dials etc ...

any clues please as to what constitutes a facelift model

I believe your isn't the face lift model. But don't quote me on this.

Mine is a 1997 UK Turbo 2000 and came with a facelift bonnet, headlights and grille, but had a pre-facelift bumper.

This is a close up view of my facelift headlights;

That should give you an idea as to the ones you need.

The position of the vents on the bonnet should help differentiate between pre-facelift/facelift as well.

Best thing to do is put up some pics of the front end of the car and people will be able to answer your question no problem.

thank you - pics to follow but I'm sure mine is an early facelift model as it's got the mesh bonnet vents ....

unfortunately I was in a desperate hurry for a pair of headlights to get though the mot and ended up with a pre enjoyed pre-facelift set , lights do fit ( just ) but to the trained eye you can soon spot the difference .. especailly when the bonnet is up and the pre facelift lights are slightly small

pair of lights only cost £25 though so I can take the shame for now until I save up for some nice ones ...
