Yup, same as above only left and right, bummer, it's stupid they probably made stuff like that and the 12v output extras at stupid money. Shame when as a facelift version you'd think that included the interior functions too not just styling.

It's all to do with the mirrors!!!!!!!

If the mirrors are square then it's pre-facelift

If the mirrors are oval (or tear-drop) shaped, then it's the facelift model!

not true i got a 52 plate and some 1 at work got 53 plate cupra and both face lift and both got square mirrors ,only the cupra R had oval mirrors from 02 plate 04 plate for cupra/fr , the best way to know all facelift have a airbag light next to the rear window heater switch and passenger airbag key switch in the glove box hope this help

By the looks of it, I don't think there was a defining year which determines the facelift model or not. They seem to have just added bits and bobs on over a few years and that's become the facelift model?

Are all the square folding mirrors heated? Not sure if mine are I've never really paid much attention.

Wheres the switch for them? headed screen switch?

Mine could be heated, but aren't electric.

May just be coincidence, but when I put rear screen heater on, the mirrors seem to clear too.

Or they may just clear up by themselves as I'm driving along, i don't know!
