As Andy has said, a facelift....

Facelift cars can be established by the following:

Colour coded body strips
Grille incorperated into bonnet
smooth rear bootlid with only a grab handle, no lock
Different rear lights
Different bumpers
Interior changed including the centre console, as standard the facelift card have a double din stereo (CDX should have had the 4 disc multiplayer unit)
Different centre console and door trims

Lots of little changes that separated the cars

Being X-Reg. you should hang on to it. From Y-Reg onwards, the VED is £400+..... Sad

CDX is nice (I had one) as it has a sunroof, heated front seats, and HID Xenon lights. It also have a combo cassette / CD player with built-in 4-CD changer - brilliant.

The engine is the one-before-last model, because from Y-Reg onwards they are all 2.6 and 3.2 instead of 2.5 and 3.0, with much more electronics and much less mechanics, but otherwise essentially very similar.

Enjoy... I did.
