No you are not alone, I too am quite happy with my '02 looking like it does. To me it has not dated in the way other cars do, perhaps this will start when the L405 hits the streets? I even retro'd my wheels back to match the spare in the boot! Previous owner removed the HSE badge, so must put it back at some point.

+1. Like the original look. Not keen on some of the "updated" conversions. |

47p2 I like both looks but do prefer the more modern front plus for how little I paid it was more than justified in my book

I'm happy! A 2007 is a 2007 and it looks great, I have also upped the wheels and the previous owner did the side vents and grills (unless they were standard).

I'll leave my 2002 alone, and wait until I buy a newer version for the upgrade. |

I love my 2005 as well, I just put an sc grille on but its a nightmare to clean mud from without jet washing and am thinking of LED rears at some point I they come up cheap and some retro 5spokes for mud plugging as much easier to clean |

King re grill i use a small paintbrush and some APC ( all purpose cleaner) Even car shampoo will do this way you can easily get in between the grill to keep it clean Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

I think my 2002 TD6Vogue has perfect aesthetics.Clean,functional lines. In many respects I see a similarity with the RR. Classic- the ONLY Car ever to be put on exhibition at The Louvre in Paris. ( Not even their sensational then ,1968 model Citroen has had this honour.) 2002 Vogue TD6

Got to agree with 47p2, I did change the side repeaters to clear ones on my old one and the wheels were changed twice but that was because the new tyres came with later wheels.

Can't fit 19" tyres onto 18" wheels unless I pack them out with duct tape |
