2001 - 2010 2.2 diesel X type differences

[rogerthat12]

Hey Guys. I am new to the forum. Yesterday I purchased a x type jaguar  2.2 diesel 6 speed manual but I have no idea what the year model of the car is. I was hoping to get some information with what obvious differences there will be with the different year models. The guy I bought it from mentioned to me that it is a 2008. Is there a way to know for sure? The vehicle has been removed from the country's traffic service system due to the previous owner de registering the vehicle because he relocated oversea. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

simple check

if it has indicators in the mirrors it is the face lift model 
if not it's pre 2007 / 2008
other things are smooth bumpers, pre face lift have trim ( sometimes chrome ) in the bumper corners 

the chrome strip on the boot goes all the way across on the face lift it doesn't on the pre 2007 / 2008 models
