Don't think David can order FL parts yet. I was on to him last week about the aero wiper on the FL Ibiza.

I'm with you nightflight, 3 door is an improvement, 5 door not so much.

I wonder have they modified the reverse light at all? Probably not :(

from what i can pick up there's 3 versions of the SC rear lights, the K and L seem to be for EU and UK markets, so one has for light on one side, the other has fog light the opposite side, i'd imagine that the reverse will be the same but opposite, so in theory you could buy a UK one side and a EU opposite and have both on both side.

But then theres talk of the M version which I can't work out what thats about.

K version is for Europe - driving on right side
L are for UK - driving on left side
M version is going to replace the K version

@ nightflight - you're wrong, because there is always only 1 working light on each side, there is no version with both working lights, for EU, fog light on left side, reverse light on right side... UK - fog light on right side, reverse light on left side... so when you will mix it, result is - reverse light on both sides, or fog lights on boths sides....
please, correct me if i'm wrong

Just a quick one may be me being daft but

if that is the fl version then why does it have the old style wiper?
If it is pre-fl then how did they already get the rear lights?

Not much you can do unless you fancy changing the bumper and bonnet.
They dont actually look any better unless they are the Xenons with the LEDs, and that would cost a fortune to retrofit even if the shape hadn't changed.
