[CU2] Pre-facelift vs Facelift

[I CU2]

Hi guys,

I've got a small tear in my rear bumper from reversing into my trailer... I've purchased a used rear bumper but it included the post-facelift front as well and I'm not sure whether to replace my current one.

I'm just wondering - do you guys prefer the original or facelifted CU2 front end?

I do like the original CU2 grille but I like the fog light area of the facelift.

To be honest I had to look real hard to even notice a difference.

Much of a muchness but I prefer the bolder look of the pre facelift.

what is the difference? i think the headlights casing has a bit more black and grill is a bit more chrome. also the rear has the chrome strip above the number plate?

They're just subtle changes to the grille and lower mesh/fog light area:

I like the facelifted look better. Alot cleaner and more modern in real life though I prefer the earlier taillights .

I think both the facelift CL9 and CU2 look better

The facelift looks terrific!

Can you change the pre-2011 CU2s to look like the newer ones??

In particular the headlights/indicators?
