Facelift Upgraded my Type R
The front bumper on my Type R was looking a bit tired so I've finally gone with the facelift upgrade, it's completely changed the look of the car and I must say I'm really happy with the new look, roll on show season!
Before:
After:
I have the foglamp cover stickers to go on but I'm not sure if I'm going to use them yet, the infamous 'I' Pink Badge is on the way and the lower grills will be fitted once I decide what colour to paint them
Preferred it before pal sorry bumper and bonnet still looks ok though not a fan of carbon bonnetts
yep i have to agree,sorry but it looked better as it was before,the original look is better imho.(just my opinion and if you like it facelifted then thats all that matters,)
i have a v4 car and part of the reason of not getting a v5 was because i prefered the older and oe look of the bumper/spliter.i refuse to facelift mine,i know many do it and tbh i cant understand why they want to change it.
although facelift still looks nice,i had a facelift wagon and liked the front end but everytime i looked at the front of the v4 i think it looks better.

Since owning the car I've just never been a fan of the front, the edges and splitter just looked a bit soft, the facelift is far more aggressive and I think just brings the whole car up to date
