Hi All,

Thought I better post up some pics........I picked it up Friday 4th jan.
So far, only the tint and plates have been added.......






One of my fave shots......


Pulling up at home tonight saw 1000km appear........there's a couple of little things but I'll get Ford to fix them at the 3000km jobbie.

Cheers,

HOT hatch. I really like the xr4 back bumper. The bumbers on the standard LX and Ztec are a bit ugly with the round look reflectors.

love the plates, they say it well.

those little cars have just as much attitude as an 8 though.
compared to the thread above where the car has been lowered, i think that should be next on your list.

enjoy it.

HALFN8 = half an 8... very clever too! Probably handles like its twice-an-8!

Must be cheap to have personalised plates in your state?

It varies depending on what style. Because these are standard custom plates, it was $400. when you chuck a number in the middle of letter - eg ABC4DE, then it's more. euro plates are $600 from memory. no extra cost at rego renewal time or anything like that.
If you want 2 letters or numbers it goes to a ... *cough* "bargain" price of 2 grand......
I went thru a few different options but kept coming back to that one (was my first one i thought of.)

I like it - witty.

In NSW, with personalised plates there is an annual renewal fee, which in my opinion is just profiteering.

Does it go to fix my roads? Does it go to stop private ownership of major infrastructure that should rightly be owned by the people? No.

RTA sucks.
