I have a 05 vrs, my mate says it's facelifted but it doesn't have a blt engine it has a asz.

Is it possible mine is facelifted and what were the changes/revisions bar the engine?

Cheers

externally you're looking at:

 

different rear light clusters

 

Original

 

 

face lifted

 

 

ever so slightly different front grill

early ones had straight vertcal slats, the face lifted ones have slat which pointed out an an angle

 

original

 

 

facelifted

 

 

potentially colour coded door handles

Think also the rear doors don't have the lock pins that go up and down when you lock it like on the front doors

Mines a facelift and doesn't have the door pins, it bugs me haha

ah yeah those external door pins :think:

 

agreed though Mrs Pasty car has no rear door pins and it looks so stupid....

Mine doesn't with it being given a face lift but I don't really care. Wonder who thought I know let's not put the lock pins on the rear doors when we facelift it lol

It'd be fine if they'd actually reprofiled the door cards to show no hint of the pins that had gone before

This is why they're cheaper than golf's!

Can you fit facelift rear lights to pre facelift car?

Indeed you can.

Odd, face lifted front grill on mine but pre fl car owned by elderly until me!

Crashed and repaired with the wrong part perhaps?

Also highly likely it was built like that. MY 2005.5 cars are surprisingly common. I think they just used up all the bits they had at the factory and kept going...

Given that a 2003 JabbaSport RARB will apparently still fit a Mk a III Fabia, I think they're still using up all the parts!
