p1tse Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 can someone confirm: the pre facelift interior i.e. non silver gear shift surround this engine was only on the gt4 models? or was it on late 2006? otherwise, it was found in facelift with the silver gear shift surrond? *excluding the new higher engine model with the bonnet buldge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The 296 bhp engine was first seen in the GT4 with the older interior and later used in 2006 models with the facelift interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 So the facelift has a silver ring around the leather gearstick cover (dont know what its called)? Mine has a silver ring around the leather gaitor but its not a facelift, easy way to tell is the silver heater controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1tse Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 so this isn't a 296bhp as advertised http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/774161.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Upgraded 2006 UK interior (Brodit phone holder, snooper power lead and added power socket excluded ) + cup holders in each door panel you can't see in the pic - the former cupholder on the passenger side was changed to a business card holder but I use it for coins for parking/toll roads.

Ebized Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 so this isn't a 296bhp as advertisedhttp://www.pistonheads.com/sales/774161.htm Nope. The 296 engines were introduced about Spring 2006 (but had been used in the GT4's) - sorry but as far as I am concerned someone is advertising that car as something it isn't Expect it was 'old' stock being registered later in the year.
