Pre face lift cars made before 2002 have 5 bar grills leather gear knobs and some other different bits I can't think of right now. Bulk CD loader in in the rear passanger wing. Some say pre face lift cars are better built and have better quality components/materials and that with post face lift cars they cut costs by using cheaper materials.
Face lift modles are 2002 on with 3 bars grills and all alloy gear knobs and BAM engines ( I think) althought my 2001 cars got a BAM engine. :? Face lift have other improvments to gear change linkage and other bits and bobs. Bulk CD loader in now in the boot. car is lower ( 20mm I think) than pre face lifts. I am sure somebody will be along shortly to give you more differences.

 

There was a good thread on it a few months ago listing most of the differences.

But the obvious differences are the grille, gear-knob, lowered and 18" RSTT alloys as standard.

Were all mk1 TTs assembled in the same factory? or, (for example) were facelift models made somewhere else?

 

Great... thanks!

So if I went for the facelift 'standard' springs, that would be the same as putting on S-line springs on Rach's pre-facelift '00 Mk1 225 effectively?

 

Bulk CD loader in now in the boot.

Mine's a facelifted version, 03, and it has the CD auto-changer in the compartment at the side of the rear seats, with the first aid kit in the opposite one, but it is just on the changeover so probably they were using up parts.

 

I've got a Feb'04 V6 and the bulk changer is also in the side compartment, it's does have the 3 bar grill though.

yes and there are often s/h sets on the for sale section,its a shame to spend all that money on standard ride hight .,, ( unless you live on a farm !! )

 

just to throw more confusion, mines a 2002 02 plate, has 5 bar grill, side changer, alloy knob, 18" RS alloys and S-line suspension.

Or you don't want to compromise the stock setup. I am going to replace my S-line shox with standard S-line shox when I get round to it. Remember Sline is 20mm lower than non any way.

 

bit more confusion, :? :? :? , mine is 03 with all the face lift but single cd unit !!! . , V. .

 

Also the rear view mirror changed shape, aero wipers and probably some other things too

Aero wipers came later one....2003 sometime. My Oct 2002 car had the new shape mirror but standard wipers

Matt

 

Mines a 52 plate and had all the facelift things bar areo wipers

Charlie

Is their an advantage to the new shape mirror? Or were Audi commoning up on parts with another car?

Josh

 

My 2001 car has the oval mirror, didn't the facelifts have the titanium headlight inserts?

but as i am sure you already know,,changing the shox ( shockabsorbers ? ) will not alter the ride hight..... further confusion dpt. mine ,03,old style wipers,tho these could be cheaper option replacements by a prev owner

 

Sorry should have said shox and springs. (sorry again shox, my shorthand for Shocks) :lol:

Yes, mine's got the Titanium lights, not sure about the rear view. Any pics of the 2 to compare?

 

aero wipers and probably some other things too

Charlie

I think the aero wipers came about on 53 or maybe 04 plate, my facelifted 03 didn't have them, it does now

Me too!

 

where did you guys get the flat wipers from? Are they just retro fit wipers or the whole arms etc?

You can either go this route, http://www.thettshop.com/oem.asp?cat=20 ... uct=901149, or this one, http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/bosch-ar55 ... =prod-info, it all depends on which you like the look of, both perform the same.

 

The leather and the steering wheel leathr is a lot mor matt compared to the pre facelift. The rear view mirror is oval onn facelift. The wipers become aero, The bonnet underneath was matted rather than gloss finish. The gearknob was changed to all alloy. The rear spoiler inderside did not have the part number sticker that all recalls had and the blue tint on the mirror were changed to clear glass.

My old 2002 (02) 225 had all of the "face lift" options on it but had a 5 bar grille.
