Just crossed my mind today, can't think of a change... obviously you can tell the change on the Corsa's because of the grill. Talking about the first iteration of course

Externally, no. They did revise the model range with countless special editions though.

Also, interior wise it was updated with more options available from Vauxhall, also the piano dash panels etc.

Pretty good car to start with, wasn't much need to go changing it. They should have spent more time on the M32 instead of putting nasty plastics though (I never liked the piano black, I think it looks really cheap and tacky).

The dash really is awful. Thats the one thing that put me off them. It's looks like it's been stolen from a van.

Exterior wise, it's spot on.

Then got changed to black?

Yeah.
Dam I forgot how dated the earlier dash looked without the Sat Nav screen. Totally changes it, smaller, and looks so basic

That bottom interior pic is of a Nurburgring edition if that makes a difference

No, because carbon is soot.

It's more than likely not carbon fibre either, just a pattern on plastic.

That's a shame.

If I remember correctly the Mk1 Focus RS has real carbon fibre inside, whereas the Mk2 has fake stuff
