No.

Sounds to me like you don't really know what you've bought

As above 100% Pre LCI

Just for your information here is an LCI vehicle.

Notice how the bonnet, wing mirrors and lower bumper are all different?

From the rear you can see that the lights have changed as has the boot lid.

These are the easiest ways to tell an LCI vehicle from a pre LCI one. There are others and some I've probably missed/don't know about.

Enjoy the new car!

Interior is slightly different too, and perhaps most importantly the engines.

LCI's are 12mm wider track at the back too on the 4 doors.

Simplest way to tell is that the pre-LCI front has the chrome on the bonnet lid, whereas the LCI has single piece chrome grills and a completely painted bonnet.
