Is my car a pre face lift chromie and is the front lip spoiler standard or different. Where the body coloured mirrors and rear spoiler an option ?

I used to have a cab and it had black mirrors and front spolier was black palstic.

(sorry for being dim but not got much experience of the cars other than driving them !)

Ah ha...making a bitbmore sense now. Problem is my front valance has a lot of rust at the edges and was going to replace. Will a standard pre face lift valance accept the chin spolier. Also noticed my valance is smooth wheras others have the factory stone guard finish ?

They should all have the rough stone chip finish.
