    Welcome to NMS

    Very Nice, get some clear side repeaters and then it will look even better.

    How do you find the diesel? I always get confused when I see pictures of the diesel (they feature pre facelift bumpers, however facelift lights etc)

    Cheers!

    As a 55 car, it should have the facelift bumper I would have thought. There are a few possibilities as to why it has a pre-facelift front bumper. One of which is that the original front bumper may have got damaged somehow and a cheaper replacement for the owner was a pre-facelift one. Just speculating. Perhaps your dealer could shed more light on this.

    as andy says, I would speak to your dealer, cos if they didn't declare that the car wasn't "normal" then you may have some haggling. You will find that the lower chrome grill is not smooth like the upper chrome grill on the front bumper. It may look a bit odd. At least I would be asking the dealer to replace the lower grill..
