Jamieg285 · July 17, 2006, 06:04:47 AM

As opposed to a Ford owner, who's cars do it themselves

Looks real good mate.

I have a spare graphic that doesn't belong with my car that may be of use to you:

'5.7 litre tuned port injection'

Does yours have these?

I think they go down the sides.

'5.7 litre tuned port injection'

If its a raised letter jobby, black with silver letters and about 15mm high it goes in the recess on the Rear Bumper. Its just about visible on the left in the Pic above.

If its got the silver text (not gold or red) and has not previously been stuck to anything (basically so the adhesive is still in good condition) then yes i'm interested.

Giblets · July 17, 2006, 08:21:43 AM

Yeah it's silver, and it's yours mate. I'll bring it to the next meet.

What's the latest on the interior swap?

Lets put it this way, its actually hard to push the boot closed... so much so that in the Cost Co Carpark on saturday on the way home I clicked the boot release switch, by the time I got to the back of the car the boot was fully open... all by itself!!

At which point I burst out laughing & Phil went and hid in his mustang

ianjpage · July 17, 2006, 08:26:15 AM

HAHAHAHA i bet he just loved that

EDGE · July 17, 2006, 08:30:08 AM

Needs a set of pressed ally plates, Mate.

Plastic ones look nasty.

Dunno, I like the ones on this Car, the eagle isn't the best thing to have on there IMO but overall they're nice.

Giblets · July 17, 2006, 11:44:31 AM

My boot opens all the way itself too.

Gas struts are only a couple of years old, so still do the job well.

Ones on bonnet are only months old!

Looks cool, well done
