What phase?

[Nathan1305]

How do I know what phase my car is? It's a 99 but I know they did phase 2 and 3 in that year. It has the phase 3 body but a few people have said it's a phase 2. Just want to get a answer but not sure what gives it away as being phase 2 or 3.

Here's the car

[bashbarnard]

Phase 3 its got the bumper fogs lights sideskirts and colour coding

---

But then again it could of had all that fitted

[Curt]

It's an XUD, it's phase 2.

[ADV_93]

The first "phase 3" bumper was seen on phase 2 GTi-6 models.

Any after that are considered phase 3.

[Toms306]

You don't get any full phase 3's until T plate.

You also don't get any XUDs in full phase 3.

Yours would've started as a phase 2, its now a ph2.5 if you like lol.

[Piggy]

Who knows who may have replaced the lights and bumper and painted the rub strips.

[maxlee]

looks alright what ever it is

[Danny2009]

S reg ph2

Had ph3 bits fitted

[Eeyore]

This is definitely a Phase 2. It has the phase 3 bumper (which was fitted to some Phase 2s just before the change) and the rub strips have been colour coded.

Otherways to tell are if the central locking is RF or IR.

Does the boot have the strip on the bottom? and the rubber seal?

Thanks mate

It's IR locking and it has the seal round the rear window but no strip on the bottom

[Connor]

It's a 2.5

[Nathan1305]

It's a 2.5

Works for me, looks like a phase 3 so I'm happy just want to replace the tail gate with one without the seal around the window

I was wondering the same thing with my blaze, also an early 99' reg. It came with colour coded bumpers but had a black rubstrip and frosted headlights Anybody any ideas?

Guessing phase 2 being an early 99 with frosted lights, phase 3 came with crystals

No worries mate and sounds good!

Peugeot always did strange mix on phase 2's. This was most likely modified to have phase 3 bumpers or phase 2 gti6 ones (I think genuine DTurbo specs came with gti bumpers anyway or maybe was dturbo s & I dunno if you could ask for gti bumpers as an optional extra when buying originally?) but the 2.5's were most commonly T reg, and some V reg which are late registered 2.5's (such as ozonehostile's gti-6) r and s reg were during the prime of phase 2.

Yeah it's like they just put together what they felt like, mines a genuine DTurbo so it could have came with the phase 3 body. Looks like it came from factory like it. When I asked the guy I bought it off if he put the phase 3 kit on he said it's always been like that

In that case it's a full fat phase 2 mate dturbo spec came out factory with gti bumpers.

So mine came out of the factory with gti bumpers then as it's a dturbo spec model

Yeah man by the sounds of it! what would look nice would be a phase 3 boot lid

Awesome and yeah I really want a phase 3 boot lid as long as I can get the spoiler off this one haha

Why not a phase 3 dturbo with the gti spoiler on it? Can't see yours on that picture so don't know if it's a unique one.

This is my spoiler, no idea what it's called or if it's rare but I like it

[Eeyore]

Yeh that spoiler isnt that common. Only seen one or two of them before. Its aftermarket and definitely not standard.

I like it something different. Want to find the name of it

[Razorback_Rob]

Either way whatever the spoiler is it went on there so theory it'll come off :p just have to work out how it's fixed.

turbo spec came out factory with gti bumpers.

Are you sure? I'm fairly certain that statement is wrong if you're referring to a Ph2 having Ph3/GTI bumpers as standard if it's a Dturbo..

Yeah I'll just remove it and refit it on a phase 3 boot lid just have to work out what paint shade my car is :/ it's paint code EXY I've seen I could be onyx black but also seen it could be another

Well actually no I was given bad information. I read in a brochure from 1998 said dturbo spec came with "sports front bumper" which lead me to believe that. My bad.

I just reg checked this car is an S reg but registered early 1999 but the first hdis were rolled off the line mid to late 1999 so this could infact be a phase 2.5.. peugeot just chucked gti/phase 3 bumpers on it. We'll never know but it's so strange the way they did such a mix in the phase 2's
