Aud 3 2008 facelift

[CMaudi]

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but I hope I may be able to get an answer.

I am looking at buying an audi a3 and I know there was a facelift in 2008.
However I see some cars saying 2008 (57).

My question is, what reg does the car need to be to have had the facelift?
Is it a case that 08 Reg has had the facelift and the 57 hasn't, or is it that the 57 has also?
What is the easiest way to tell?

I have tried searching forums and the internet but I cannot find a clear answer.

Thanks for any helpful replies

58 reg

Yep, 58 reg and up, 08 is the pre face lift model, you can also tell by the lights being on the mirrors instead of being on the side wings near the front wheels. I think all 58 onwards have Multi Function Steering Wheels (MFSW).
