An enterprise hire car (small green square sticker on rear)

Orrible rear chrome bar right down on't bumber.....meh

front end though!! Looked almost VXline/VXR. Looked tidy in a metallic (new) grey (?)

Great improvement over the original J, shame about the rear Chrome bar though pah, tacky.
NO pics sorry was cuppla cars in front on the commute to work!:zzz:

I like front end of facelift. Much more sportier look. I agree about chrome bar on rear bumper... What were they thinking???:banghead: Ugly as hell...

1. :swear::swear: Someone else has the car I've ordered, but did they have the shark fin?
2. I like the chrome strip on the bumper, but me mates have always said that I've got weird tastes :loopy:

Also seen my first facelift yesterday too, I shouted with excitement "Oooh that's bang tidy!" and pointed to it, and as it drove past it was a rather 'tidy' blonde driving it to which I got a punch from the misses.

 

[sinky181]

Did you see the car or just the Blonde:lol:

What is this chrome bar which people keep speaking of? :lol:

Edit: Not the best image but google to the rescue :lol:... That looks very out of place :err:

This thread badly needs some pics.

Here you go, as i said saw the new one from a distance! Whilst driving!

Thank god for that! After suddenly deciding to go for a 2 year old J today, I thought the changes were going to be groundbreaking and I'd be all disappointed

However, no need to worry it seems - maybe the Sri trim & fog lights help out in that regard though

Well Janitor, worry not, I got my 12 plate in early August '12. Very happy with its looks - like an Astra, the facelift J is too close to the Corsa. SRi trim looks well.

Here you go Vx-man

It has definite hints of GTC from the front and i dont mind the chrome bar but the rear boot latch hasnt been reworked and it spoils the look at rear slightly. Should of been smooth like the GTC.

The one thing they should have improved on the back end is that pathetically dim reverse light.

Vx man :lol:, I like it (Y)

Can see the shape a lot better than on the silver car I looked at, except that chrome bar the rear looks well I think

The J has already been out long enough for a facelift??? lol

Been abot 3 years, but the mid sized hatch market is a very competitive sector, so GM/ Vx/Opel eill be wanting to keep the sales up in a frankly saturated area, where there is such abundance of makers & models, my head would hurt to make a choice if I didn't know which marque to consider :dontknow:

 

[Sam Millar]

Vauxhall haven't even updated their UK configurator yet to include the facelift.

 

[sinky181]

When I ordered mine 2 weeks ago the salesman didnt know about any my13 changes..... even the loss of the watts linkage on the lower spec models ? they now have standard rear suspension or loss of the EPB ? here's a link for all the MY13 change's
