Does anyone know what 2003 pre facelift differences are can a pre facelift be easily modified ?

To convert it into a facelift could be a lot of work, especially if it's a diesel (PFL was only a 5-speed gearbox, plus there were changes to the fuel injection system).

I know the obvious visual stuff like the chrome lip on the bonnet, but I reckon there'll be tons of other less-obvious stuff that will entail replacing the MICU and wiring looms.
 
Petrol model was looking to upgrade trip computer would that involve just as much

You mean you want to put a trip computer from a facelift into a pre-facelift ?

If so, you'd have to look at the circuit diagrams as a start, to see what the trip computer connects to.

If you look in the ESM, when you select a different year, some things change if it crosses the FL "boundary".

The best years to use to look at the differences are 2004 and 2007, that way you can be sure that the ESM is giving you pre-FL or FL
 
easier just to buy a facelift, why would anyone go to the trouble of converting one to another, if it was just a few bumpers or side skirts perhaps i could see the point its not financial sense to do here however.

Probably quite achievable with the right information , might be enough in the ESM :)
 
Don't think this conversion would be cheap and will most likely involve some wiring and new hardware.
 
May look into further and then decide im suspecting at least micu possibly ecu and wiring loom
