we ordered a new XR6 T ute today in silver , but we wanted the orange stripe and V8 bonnet fitted, Both cant be fitted by ford, who and where do i go to get these 2 small things done? also is 39K a good price for a new Turbo ute with roll bar and tow package, No leather . I was looking at magnet pac which is leather , momo wheel and 18's but its 1800 more

Speak to AWC, sponsor above re bonnet, and if you really want stripes (beats me why but alas) go to 3M

magnet accessories are sposed to be worth $3600.. so as a $1800 package thats good value..

id get a magnet.. better resale value in the end too.

Like above, the Magnet option sounds like a good deal..

Falcon ute was apparently voted most popular by gay men so you'll have something sticking to the car. :P

i cant believe the dealer wont help out with the bonnet and the stripes.
my local dealer put silver stripes on mine no charge and we talked about the bonnet swap but i got a 8 so it didnt matter in the end.
the magnet pack is not too bad for value just the wheels and tyres would cost almost that much.but if your not sure dont worry about it,it will still be a great ride>

Make a drive down to Surfside Ford in Miami Gold Coast.
Ask to speak to Steve Rooney, Trust me when I say he'll beat that price and arrange all your other extras as well. Absolutely Fantastic guy to deal with....

They may help with stripes and v8 bonnet if you but the Pursuit, after all that's what they should be on.

id go the magnet pack. also walk into spare parts and ask for a bonnet. it is after all a Ford spare part so they should be able to sell you one.
or just go somewhere else altogether.

if the dealer won't do something as simple as that, imagine what he'll be like when it comes to warranty issues.

head to a different dealer mate.

my dad almost got an xr8 bonnet on his XR6 N/A, he got offered it, but turned it down, for obvious reasons that he didnt have a v8 and didnt want to be ripped off over it. But this is from newcastle klosters and, they were nearly forcing him to get it (well saying how good it'd look).

the V8 bonnet is needed to give me some clearance for a fresh air inlet to duct the engine, the intercooler is going to get the flick for a water cooled PWR unit.
