Hello all,
I just bought a second-hand C3 but am confused as to precisely which model I've got. I know it's a 2013 C3 VTR+ with a 3-cylinder 1.2 engine, but is it the 2nd generation or the 2nd generation face lift? How can I tell?
Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question
Cheers,
Tony

Hello Tony
The original C3 was made in 2002 and carried on until a facelift in 2006
The 2006 facelift model was produced to 2009.
In 2010 the A51 model was produced, then to 2013 when the new C3 was released.
If you can take a photo of your new car, you can add it
following these instructions to attach a photo to your post and the late model owners can help you identify it.

Hello
It may be best to do this by VIN?
You can reply to this to unlock the PM.system for you. Then PM me the vin or just reply with it here. It may shed some light on which C3 you have.

2nd generation face lift? How can I tell?
Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question
It is the second generation facelift, you can tell by the front 'face' of the car. It matches the look of the facelift and doesn't match the original model 2 design.
And it is certainly not a stupid question
A tidy looking C3 you have
Citroen C3 model II facelift

Hello and many thanks for all the info.
It was that high level windscreen that was confusing me actually - mine doesn't have that.
Cheers,
Tony

The 108degree windscreen 'visiospace' is actually an optional extra

It may have been optional on the lower trim levels but was always standard on Exclusives and on the run-out Platinum versions.
