My facelift was not by choice and I am having so many problems getting the headlights, indicators, driving lights that if I had my time again I would of looked harder for another series 1 bumper bar.
But the car does look great.
Like others have said this is your personal choice, have fun deciding.

I really like the Facelift model .. but I've only recently encountered an issue.
I need to change ONE of the lower foglight bulbs .. But no matter how long I spend on it, I can't seem to take it out. I've even had the car over the pits and tried to get my hand under there. Can't seem to work out how they're connected.
I know it sounds like a silly problem, but it's been really giving me the sh*ts. Hahaha .. Help!?

personally i would rather get a kit, dc or bozzspeed, at the front. Don;t like the look of facelift, doesn't really look right somehow, probably cos of the front bar jutting out like that but thats just me
then again its personal preference, good luck with whatever u decide

I have a Yellow FTO, I've seen some with the Facelift and it doesnt look nice at all. Bozz front DC side, i will get them soon.
Facelift sticks out too much imo, same as the vs, don't like them either. Subbies, you're right, it's all about personal preference.
