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 :wink:

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.
