I prefer the early cars, especially with their more characterful interiors: they look more "classic" IMO. Particularly the pre-2000 cars with funky 1990s colours. But I can see the attraction of the facelift mod That blue is one of my favourite colours on these, along with orange and yellow...I still can't decide if I prefer the face lifted look or the original look but the face lifted defo looks more modern. I definitely don't like the grey bumpers of the very early cars but there is something about the older bumpers that I like.
Probably cause I'm a silly auld fart!
Well done for doing such a good job though and posting the How To.
