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 ... regards Chris
