In the link below appears a W reg 2000 car with the phase 2 body? Even my old 2000 on a W reg was classified as a phase 1.2 and had the phase 1 bumpers etc. I thought the first phase 2s first appeared in late 2000 at the earliest or in 2001 generally seeing them on X plates.

Mrs Cookie has a proper P2 V40 on a W plate, its a 2001 model, (the P1.5 was mainly external changes (projector headlights etc)

quick piccy showing P1 Vs P2 (1.5 looks more like a P2 on outside but will look like a P1 inside)

I have also recieved the following information


Phase 2 cars rolled on to the production line on 1st August 2000 straight after the summer break at the Nedcar factory in Born. So some of the very early Phase 2 cars were registered on a "W" plate prior to 1st Sept 2000, which is when the "X" plates came out. The owner has, however, fitted some Phase 3 parts onto the car, e.g. the front valence, the double headlamps with chrome surrounds, clear side marker lamps and bonnet grille etc to make it look like a Phase 3 (2003 model year) car, but forgot to colour code the door handle surrounds and fit chrome door handles and the chrome trunk release catch which were standard on Phase 3 cars
