TIB828L, TIB829J and TIB831B are registered in Dec 1996 and has already received their lifespan extensions together with DAFs, thus I won't be putting them in the list further.
Oh, I see! Thanks for the update!

According to SgWiki, TIB1021R is refurbished as well...

Yep, has been refurbished long ago...
-
I suspect future refurbishments will go with the new livery (esp. the Hispano habits)...
lol I'm too ambitious.. Although I'd be happy to see TIB1213D(and my rep, TIB1031L) in new livery :p
-
*TIB1188T refurbished, livery follows TIB1024H style with slightly lower red livery alignment without touching the black rubberstrips... So far, there's only TIB1178Y with the same alignment as these 2, but not refurb yet...

Just took TIB828L earlier at about 8.25p.m. from Harbourfront Int. I found out that it was refurbished by Liannex, the company refurbishing the O405Gs (except the Volgren bendies). Here are the clues:
1. The air-con vents (including those for the driver) were changed to those eyeball vents found on TIB827P and TIB831B. The aircon vents on the side of the air-con ducts were found with new screws, as well as some of the vents changed to vents with 4 outlets, instead of the usual 3.
2. The bells (buttons) used to activate the 'BUS STOPPING' bell have all been swapped for new ones, including those on the poles and window 'dividers' (though the yellow bell has been retained)
3. The bottom curve of the seat (below the seat covers) have been painted to a very bright (colgate) white, the same as those on the bendies (which have the whole plastic shape of the seat repainted)
4. The roof of the interior (where the lights are located) seems to be gray, not the usual white.
5. The poles that support the doors (and make the doors open and close) are repainted the same grey used on the poles found on the bendies. The doors (on the inside) seem to be repainted (or restickered) a matt black.
Please tell me if the other 1997 O405s are refurbished by Liannex!

Seems like it was also refurbished by Liannex... The roof is light grey, like TIB828L. Yep, other than OC flooring on TIB828L, this is the same as TIB828L and TIB829J, which went to Liannex for refurbishment...

Boarded both TIB456B (on 853) and TIB828L (on 188) yesterday, refurbished by SMRT and Liannex respectively. Both interiors were quite similar in specs, such as:
1. The door poles were painted grey on both buses
2. The aircon vents were changed to those eyeball ones on the O405G MK 1 and 2s.
3. OC flooring on both buses
4. Black vents on the aircon ducts were all fitted with new screws.
5. The roof hatches were repainted on both buses.
However, SMRT did make some differences when Liannex took over:
1. The doors on the inside are light grey on TIB456B, but TIB828L has the standard black...
2. The 'BUS STOPPING' signs were painted white on TIB456B, but remains black on TIB828L
3. The aircon ducts are dark grey on TIB456B, rather than light grey on TIB828L
4. TIB456B has repainted white roof, but TIB828L has light grey roof.

Saw it again, not refurbished. Not sure why they install the new EZ link readers even though they removed it in the past.

Spotted unrefurbished on perm service today...

Features onboard O405s refurbished by SMRT (all photos were taken onboard TIB428H):
-
1. TIB832Z still on 963?
2. Hope the Volgren O405s get refubished soon... They can change everything but the seats...
-
If I remember correctly, TIB1091M is not refurbished at all...

is it because they are selling them off to second hand buyers overseas? if not; its really silly to refurbish at the last stage of lifespan. might as well de-register them early. -

TIB829J's refurbished interior:

TIB829J's refurbished interior:
The interior is quite similar to TIB828L, which was also refurbished by Liannex. The roof is cream grey, the seats are also repainted, new eyeball aircon vents and the aircon ducts are beige, giving the interior a creamy feel... However, the new bells were randomly swapped, with variations of the bells on the poles and window dividers... Also note the light grey repainted doors, similar to the MK 1 bendies...
