I've noticed on some Fabias the rear lights are slightly diferent (clear section is bigger), what year did these change?

Have there been any other changes on the VRS since it was launched?

MY05 has them... which makes is more or less all fabias '54ish onwards are fitted with the new rear clusters.

Other change to the vRS is different gear box ratios i believe.

That was the 2005 model year IIRC.

The plastics used for the dashboard were changed to a softer version , though I think the vrs may have always had that.

The biggest change was that there have been two different gearboxes. I think it was the earlier one that had slightly taller gearing , so lower fuel consumption. The newer ones are a little quicker to 60

MY05 changes include deleted rear door locking pins, dimply dash, rear light clusters, different traction control light. I think the gear box ratios changed earlier than the "facelift".

oh and a little light on dash for rear bench folded!
