Only due to recent purchase have I noticed this one...

Mk3 Focii have different exhaust outlets depending on engine size. Yes, some of you cry, the ST is centre exit! Not them, I retort, the 1 litre pez and the 1.6 diesel exit via a subtle route on the left...

The larger capacity versions of both, 1.6 pez and 2L diesel exit on the right...

Cool, you can all go back to sleep now...

Related; the pez (maybe 1.0 only) has an east-west rear silencer, and the others don't. Or something

Whilst I'm not here to discuss Father Christmas or the Tooth Fairy, I can confirm that the retooled Cube is very much a thing. Good eh?!

I didn‘t realise that, thanks for the info. The picture of the 2 white ones, however, is faked. Look at the reflections on the corners pf the tailgate and in the mirrors. They‘re identical but reversed. Also on the real retooled car, the screen washer is still to the left of the brake light, in the original picture it‘s on the right on the second car. All that being said, I still find the Cube irrationally desirable.

I like it how the UK car has a JDM/US plate recess and the US/Canada car has a European one.

The expense must have been eye watering. And how many did they sell?

They still sell these in the US, would've made much more sense to make a 3 and 5 door. I briefly looked at these but the 1.6 turbo isn't that great and the odd door arrangement is too much.

I may have misunderstood you, but that "UK" car is in fact a JDM import. UK market cars had the same plate recess as those in the US/Canada. It does seem odd that Nissan didn't give North America the JDM recess, given that it would fit their size plates a lot better.

Come to think of it the back looks a bit like a cross between a Volvo 360 saloon and a Mercedes 190.

But it’s an Alfa / Italian it must* be beautiful!

Some Range Rovers have DRLs that make them look (to me) as if they're wearing pince nez...

Apparently when you click the button on the remote on an L405 it says 'I can only show you the door'.

They look more like downforce generators than mirrors.

Saw one today, from the front of the "mirror" (walking from the back of the car towards the front) I thought it was some sort of CCTV camera 😂

That's always slightly puzzled me (though not enough to research it, obs)

Agilas used the other recess.

From the low cost big liability thread yesterday, how has it taken me over 20 years to spot that these have mk3 fiesta rear lights???

That reminds me; variants with Halogen Headlamps have different colour LED Daytime Running from the LED Headlamp equipped cars- their colours match- so as to avoid the miss-match between yellowish Halogen and Blueish LED... 🤓

I see red Stilettos in the tail light graphic... 🤓

[somewhatfoolish]

Stilletos for lady clowns.

[gm]

what is going on with that little bit of plastic wheel arch stuck to the rear door ?
