I understand that the 2009 is250 SE-L had a facelift but there are a few bumper shapes out there?

The blue one here is a 2010 and the black is 2011. My car is 2009 and looks like the black bumper?

Also the headlights are different on the blue one. Is it a kit?4C3F887A-3208-487F-83D0-83DB9BDC1D20.thumb.jpeg.df122efb205a38f6d22c724b0a6b2e35.jpeg

The black one might have been registered in 2011, but its a 2009-2010 spec "facelift" car.

The IS then received a further refresh for the 2011 model year with different bumpers, wheels, clear turn signals etc. That's what the blue car is. It looks like it might be an Advance model?, which was introduced around the same time.

Isn't the black one pre-facelift? It hasn't got LED drls. It has got a mesh grille. Definitely earlier build than the blue one. Sales in 2009-2011 weren't exactly stellar so some cars hung around with dealers for quite a while.

Thanks for that it now makes sense. The reg dates threw me.
