Which model year?

1028 Views 8 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  MagoonR
That's a weird one, I know, but is there a way to find out what model year a certain car is? Some look at the little number on each glass surface, others subtract a decade from the date mentioned for airbag check, and god knows what else... I am not sure if my R is a 2003 or 2004... Or if the R model was even introduced before 2004. I also saw somewhere that the mirrors were different before MY04m from the current styling. Any ideas please?
TIA:)

So what you are saying is that the R has only seen three model years; namely 2004, 2005 and 2006.

So far....yes

So if mine doesn't have the sliding center console or the HU850 sound system (both of which were available from 2005 onwards) it is definitely a 2004, right?

Or if your R has the black body side moldings (though they may be painted) or doesn't have the chrome surrounding the radio or if it has the shift gate pattern on the console just left of the gearshift ......it's a 2004.

btw, what's the diff in the tail lights between model years?

The 05's have a more "jewel like" lens.
