I disagree that its "ruined" I think thats a bit strong, and rather than "pre-facelift" (which is a split upper and lower pair of grilles) they've used earlier facelift lower foglight grills and foglights, which is "wrong" for an 09 plate of course but the car doesnt look terrible, I'd be using that fact to get the price down and showing them pics of the correct ones if I was trying to buy it!

Ad says "UPRATED STEREO". I guess it had NO stereo before! The standard one is abysmal.
