The changes, which include a new-style grille and revised body mouldings, also provide the people carrier with a family likeness to the Giugiaro-designed Kalos supermini.

Here"s a police vehicle guaranteed to make you move out of the fast lane pretty quick! This liveried lorry, complete with flashing blue lights, has been unveiled as part of a crackdown on dodgy HGV drivers.
The aim is to give cops some much-needed height so they can see directly into lorry cabs. It allows them to catch drivers using mobile phones, watching DVDs on laptops or committing other offences.
The initiative is the first of its kind in the UK, and is being run by the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG). This is part of the West Midlands force, which looks after 450 miles of road between Cheshire and South Wales. A spokesman said: ò€œOne officer drives the truck while another sits in the passenger seat armed with a hand-held video camera, ready to film into the lorryò€™s cab as we overtake.ò€ If an offence is being committed, or the driverò€™s behaviour arouses suspicion, the officer will radio an unmarked police car following behind, which pulls it over. If the driver disputes the reason for being stopped, the video footage can be used as evidence in court.
The liveried HGV was created for the launch of the scheme, but isnò€™tÒ actually taking part. Unmarked lorries supplied by local hauliers will be used instead.
