A Class - is it a facelift?

[PaulV]

Hi

Wondering if anyone can help a Merc novice.....

I am looking to buy post facelift A class Avantgarde.
I was told by a dealer a few days ago that the the newer models have visible inserts in the front bumpers and the old ones don't - is this the case? I read the revised model was introduced in June 2001. I am just a bit confused as I have been looking at a 02 / 2002 model on the internet and can't seem to see any inserts (it is a small picture of a dark car so there is a chance that I can't see them, but that they are there).

Also, can anyone recommend a good link for A class images?

Thanks !

Paul

Still after your opinions, but I think it may have an AMG body kit (like this one http://www.mercedes-benzbirmingham...._76067.asp?vid=1146986&sort=&sortdir= where the front spoiler incoroprates fog lights but has no inserts (aka rubbing strips). It certainly look like it has the AMG 17 " alloys. These look nice but I wonder what the ride will be like?.....

Hmm.........

I decided to buy the one I was talking about Doriant - thanks anyway.

For anyone who's interested, it has AMG styling, hence no rubbing strips front or back. Definitely a facelift though.

Not quite, Mark. Snort snort.
