Deffo a different front bumper to the original Mk8 which had round fog lamps. I like the 'chrome' around the front grill, I wonder if it could be fitted on my Mk8 fronted Mk6?

I've just had a look at your MK6 restoration thread and wow! The skills, workmanship and knowledge there is unbelievable, hats off to you.

Is this the one that you claimed had an identical front to your existing van? :lol:

You got x-ray vision.......obviously not :lol:

“Visually, it won’t be getting any major revisions, as these spy photos reveal. Ford will update the headlights, front bumper, and radiator grille, which will accommodate all the radars and sensors needed for the parking assist and cruise control functions.”
I can clearly see that the headlamps, bonnet, grille and bumper are the same as mine in this photo.

Is the current model a mk9?
Surely it's just a mk8 MCA (mid cycle action).

The strangest change is that the rear high level brake light is now mounted on a big black piece of plastic.
Very strange.

The interior is much nicer.
The best thing is the new cup holder under the gear lever. But uou don't get it on an auto, so it wouldn't benefit me anyway.

Does not look like it has a 'step' so you can reach the entire windscreen for cleaning!
