There is a letter in the VIN which tells you, but I can't remember which one.

lol nah 1999 Green with a white roof

I made my own brackets (15 minutes with grinder) and bolted to existing holes. I can reverse over rock or tree and mudflap will survive. Will take some pics and post them.

Probably a UK build then. Entering the VIN into the website I posted above will tell for sure. See if the 11th character is an 'A', that will tell you.

Thanks Jack

The roof is the same colour as the body.. but its all white

They went to english build from my05 on. Also I checked the VIN and it's built in Sollihull. Having said that, it's pretty easy to pick them. The english ones didn't come with bullbars, sidesteps, rear steps, or XTREME stickers. The front door also has a rounded pressing on the inside unlike the SA builds.
