The only production Ralliart models of the FTO were the offical UK import GPX.
Rather unlikely that your GR is a Ralliart - what paperwork are you referring to?

the GR was usually a pre-facelift (a tiny number of facelift GR's exist) and all the Ralliart FTOs were facelift (and GPX)

The most obvious difference is that pre-facelifts look like this:

And facelift like this:

Wheels not withstanding of course.


Prefacelift FTOs were manufactured between 1994 and the middle of 1997. Anything after that will be a facelift.

Facelifts weren't shinier by default either :P
