Before
Did the front bumper change even slightly for model year 2004 (manufactured 2003)? I’m trying to replace the splitter vane (which fell off on the road!) but the new mesh grille from Welsh fits up to ‘04 but stops just shy of my VIN (N0......) and is about 2 inches too wide for the space. Would settle for a stock OEM splitter vane but don’t want to get the wrong part again.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, there was both a front end face-lift and a rear face-lift from MY2003 to MY2004.

Well, the part does actually fit the space. It’s not exact, but it will serve. It was mostly stupidness on my part.
