    Clearly a mark 2 yet it has a mark 2b front?

    very very strange indeed.

    when did the first mk2b's come out?

    there's no mention of the owner having the work done to convert it (if thats is possible anyway)

    the only explanation i can think of is that its one of the first ever mk2b's.

    didnt they have an extra bit on the boot.

    I also think it must have been one of the very first ones especially as these boot bits are missing.

    2b came out in 2003 on a 53plate

    It aint a 2b tho cos the backs different and it doesnt have the round badge on the steering wheel

    explain the front end?

    not not a proper mk2b like you say, due to the back end. but the front end is quite puzzling.

    would seem pretty hard though to me as the 2a lights are a lot smaller that a2bs and would have to change a hella lot of stuff.

    on the picture where its a front side on view, the bumper isnt sitting properly under the passenge side light. Looks odd from that angle.

    Maybe someone just wanted to update the car
