Hi, apart from the clear headlamps on the 2010+ Bravo, what other changes were made to the model?

Is it worth getting the newer version or are the updates just cosmetic?

Thanks in advance

Purely cosmetic, headlights, gloss black bottom grill and fog light surround.

The headlights do look much much better though but still not a deciding factor.

Yeah dude upgrade always nice too.i got a 13 plate this year well worth it face lift is awsome

Thanks for the replies, it does look better in my opinion.
I remember reading somewhere that the ride and noise insulation had been improved but it wasn't from a reliable source so I'm not sure.

It is better quieter on motorways and city driving my mate commented when I was a little over the limit saying it's quieter than my old 57 plate, also little options on the menu too,for me it is better.

Below is picture Ribys is on the left mine on the right,gloss foglights gloss wing mirrors chrome handles suppose it's the pack or extras,

Front lights tinted no orange indicator,front grill black.option to turn foglights of when cornering handy, I prefer it otherwise I wouldn't have gone for it lol

I'm not sure it's worth the extra money for such minor changes..

You can buy the headlights for £100 each and the rest you could spray yourself or it would cost not much more for a professional job..

I would look for the best condition car with the lowest miles and forget the rest. I ended up with an "Active" but I love it all the same

I will concede my 09 plate does seem overly noisy on motorways, if a facelift is quieter that would be good!

Pack of soundproofing and a couple of hours of your time and you could solve that yourself. Knowing you, you probably know some sort of trick anyway lmao.

To be honest you could probably if you had the time doctor any car to be "similar" and look for a good deal,but at the end of the day I would rather "treat" myself to a car that is finished the way it should be and not buy a car to make it something it's not, and peace of mind that it isn't going to fall apart or been abused not saying every car has, lol.

Just speaking my mind

All personal preference

I do like the newer headlights, but not so much as i like money in my pocket. so it would depend more on the general condition of the vehicle.

Most of the motorway noise is from the tires... so that would make a big difference even on the same car! so if you re going to compare two cars make sure they have the same wheels. (size, condition, pressure... all have a big part to pay in tire noise)

I have an 2008 Bravo and i can turn the cornering function off, and the seat-belt buzzer.
I'm 99% certain this is possible only after turning them off/on with FiatEcuScan (before i could not find them in the menu, and after they are easily accessible through the menu)

I tried to turn of cornering lights but theres no option in Multiecuscan (licensed) or car menu (2008 m.y.)
I thing that you need to upgrade body computer to have that option.
I also find my Bravo too noisy, is there some information where/how are sound panels upgraded.
Also think that older Bravo t-jet have drive shaft problem, maybe is some upgrade on facelift.

if i remember correctly the option is under the Body / Can setup/proxy alignment, try that.

But i have to be honest.. i find the cornering feature really nice.. especially in a dark parking lot.

lights, grills and different speedo dials

easy to make the older cars refreshed

Absolutely, the door pillars are also gloss black, fog light surrounds, grills and dark headlights.

Incidentally for everyone to know. the black headlights are cheaper than the silver ones on parts world. So should someone ever need a new set of lights it would make sense to buy the black ones,
