"Facelift"

[Physician]

Hi guys,

I have often read the term 'Pre-facelift', 'Post-facelift' etc.

Just what differences are there between the Pre and Post models? And are the two designated differently apart from the Pre/Post name? Mine is a 1998 VR4 saloon on an 'R' registration (document says manufactured on 31/12/98) ..... I understand it's a pre-facelift model - so what did I lose out on, lol?

Thanks,

Richard

Post facelift has a different front bumper, plus plastic wheel arch extensions. Different alloys on the type S. 20 bhp more on the tiptronic model. Different interior options.

Anything else?

280psi instead of 260 if you have a tiptronic
momo steering wheel
