How to spot 2013 with FL light vs genuine 2014 model

Gents,

Is it possible to tell just by looking at photos if its genuine MY2014-2016 or its a MY2013 with retrofitted headlights, black LED tail lights and other exterior bits?

Thanks

Theoretically: based on vehicle color as I think they changed somewhat between the model years.

If the photo is of the VIN plate, absolutely…… Mr. Green Mr. Green Mr. Green

VIN is available…… you just need to look at the windscreen for it.

What spec is it ?

Should be a plate on the slam panel indicating when it was built.

It’s broken!

The steering wheel has been installed on the wrong side! Wink Very Happy


On a serious note, I would bank on it being the full facelift….. yes the grille and headlights are easy changes, but few go to the length of changing the mirrors for indicating versions and side repeaters for the SDV6 badge.

Other than the steering wheel problem and the tan interior it’s identical to my 2014 in as much as it’s black on black with some black added black bits….. looks very smart (but I’m biased) Very Happy
 A mod a week until I have nothing to improve or add.

Yes, it does look like the proper MY14 facelift model.

Also, looks like HSE spec.
Now I may be wrong, but I think pre facelift MY13 HSE models had the Harmon Kardon system, whilst facelift models had Meridian.

Nice looker though. Thumbs Up

The extended roof rails were also part of the “black pack” offered around that time, as per my 64 plate and 15 plates I’ve had... as S60r said the mirrors also changed to the led indicators..

The wheels even look right as well, down to the factory fitted silver wheel nuts on black wheels Laughing

The VIN number is in the little window on the darkened lower section of the windscreen, on the left (your driver’s side). It’s about in line with the top stalk of the wing mirror.
