Pretty sure the update BF got the 18s but with a darker grey color as well as dark accents on the body kit? These are the main external cosmetic differences I believe.

mines an update, I think 07/07 build. It has the clock, dual zone, premo sound, 18's, but I think the darker grey accents came a little later in 07 early 08. Or perhaps were only on certain colours? (mine is the poo acid colour though, maybe they didn't want to touch such beauty? bwahahaha)

I have seen those accents on your colour. It did look crap I am sorry to say!

Not trying to be a smart ass but why do you think yours is the update then? It has stuff fitted that was available throughout the BA/BF build time, not just the BFII update.

Was this extra gear all provided as standard, or as options? Are you under this impression because the salesman said so, or is there actually something in your paperwork ( owners manual) that indicates this?

If yours is the update then does that mean that they made a second update with the accents and darker coloured wheels a little later on?

As I said, not trying to be smart but inquiring minds want to know!

Can't say I've seen one but haven't had the car long and never would have bothered to look/notice before hand.

Every reference (insurance/parts etc etc) to the 'upgrade' is July 2007 build, which this car is. So it would be the first batch of the 'updates'.

I asked the owner and he didn't specifiy any thing extra, but knew of the update and waited till he could get one of these models to get the extra goodies for free.

I'd say more that fraud being fraud it slipped through at this time the updates started going through, so the paint scheme is as per standard but the other goodies got put into the car that were with the updates.

Also intersting and I'd say due to this 'update' changes in production it was missing the sub driver. I asked the owner (older guy in late 40's early 50's) and he said he always thought it was a bit limp for 'premium' sound but was pretty clueless. I cloesly inspected the screw/bolt holes, still filled with fresh paint as if no screw/bolt had ever gone in there. The amp is there and works (running a 10 now), all the rest of the premo gear is there, it's like it was a non upgrade that became and upgrade 1/2 through its build. haha.

yeah basically I dont care if its an update or not.but when I get insurance quotes if I specify all the goodies as 'extras' it adds ontop of the insurance premium...but if its an 'update' then all the goodies are in the base quote...

[Spoony]

basically just go off the insurers then, they list July 07 & on listed as 'update' so if it's build date is that or after, then u'd be safe to put it down as 'update' and them bits included.

If it's older then dunno how it would work.

Yeah, mine has the analogue clock,dual zone climate but no grey highlights on the bodykit...the build is oct 07, still an update??

YES . The grey highlights come late 07 and were still the update. All UPDATE had dual zone clock and I think the autos were 6 speed.

Are you sure?

All Ts would have had a 6SP for at least two years when the update came out. Its hardly a ditinguishing feature in this case

I was talking about XR6's in general not just turbo's. The update model I have is not a turbo

[Craig.]

Sorry mate. I thought we were talking about turbos, as that is what the OP owns. My bad.
