Strange as I thought all QP after September 2008 had the new nose. Not my specialist car mind!
I think that the 'old nose' looks great but it's still interesting to know.
That is odd that it was manufactured in 2009.....I also thought the last ones were 2008.......I do believe they built both models for a while next to each other as a run out but didn't think it was as late as 2009.
Are you sure they got the right car ? when I got my build sheet it didn't match and when queried they admitted it was the wrong vehicle
Rear shelf is the back parcel shelf and safety belts are the seat belts
Do you have bordeaux stitching ?
Chris,
Yours looks like an Early 2008 Car,
If the B post GT badges & wheel centres have Red logos, that would confirm it.
The Front Bumper has separate fog lights on the 2009 Cars
The Darker 20" wheels were 2009.
I would enjoy it regardless, I've had my 56 plate Jan 07 car for nearly 4 years now &
still look back when locking it
Cheers
Darker wheels were standard on the SPort GT and the Sport GTS....SPort GT from 2005/2006 according to spec. The option list was ball polish and standard finish....see here.

the ball polish wheels here are 19" though.
