Grill

[marinaman]

Got a crack on the grill, looking on EBay, a lot of choice with original, full chrome etc, the full chrome I like but there seems issues with the years.
Some say 2000 to 06. Some say up to 04 facelift.
So, are the bonnet grills all the same or is the facelift a different design ?
Thanks

Realoem lists the Hood (bonnet) against my old VIN as ‘2003 onwards’ which would tend to imply a difference.  Mine was a Dec 04 build.

It also lists the same start date range for the grills.

Too many ads on line don’t know about the facelift so they just assume nothing changed between 1999 and 2006.

I find a quick cross check against Realoem can save time wasted on inaccurate web ads.

Thanks for that. As mine also is Dec 04 build I will go for later style
