Hi, it's a gen 1 with LED front & rear lights & gen 2 wheels. I'm getting a dateless plate for it too, all the upgrades cost under £2k which is well under the £7k it would have cost to change the bumpers too. I think it's subtle & not in your face, just a gentle bit of botox really!!

Hi, the lights are from:
http://www.orange-tuning.de/shop/type-lighting-c-3...
Cost me £400 delivered & took a week to come. I am very sensitive about modifications - I only really like OEM look, but these really work I think, there are also some available from Design 911 but they are not such a good copy of the gen 2 look. Best thing about these are they require no bumper modification so give you 98% of the gen 2 look but for 15% of the price

Hi, they are the Dectane sourced lights on the rear, and the fronts are from Design911. I did notify my insurer (Liverpool Victoria) and it didn't make a difference to my policy, thanks for asking.

No worries, I wasn't being funny, just didn't want you to possibly end up uninsured in case you hadn't thought of notifying them.. Car looks great, congrats
Hi mate, no worrie I was being tongue in cheek should have followed it wup with a smile or something!! I was relieved that it didn't increase the quote, there were options for nitrous injection on there & similar!!

I have just sold the car & am about to sell the facelift lights on eBay but if anyone here wants them let me know smile There are some truely awful ones available but these ones are pretty close to gen 2 look. No wiring or other changes needed just plug n play. Set cost nearly £1k new 4 years ago.
