Is it possible/easy to have ABS activated on a CL model vehicle ? Given that most of the kit is already there e.g. LX model.

It was available in the 'safety pack', but I don't know if they remove the actual hardware, or if it's just a software update. More than likely yours won't have the wheel sensors, wiring loom etc. It's annoying, because this stuff costs them cents, but it'd cost a fortune to buy over the counter.
Easy way, pull the wheel off. Behind the brake disk on the top there should be a sensor with a cable coming off it, that's the ABS sensor. If it's not there, then it'll be a major job to install ABS, and probably expensive. If you're that keen on it, trade yours in and get a new one. You get the ABS, warranty, and all the other perks of a new car RM.

new car would be the best option. CL has none of the wiring or actuator so cost would be over the top, then there is installing it!!
