Default au xr8 rebel info

Hi all,
recently i was offered a au 2 xr8 rebel for under 12 grand,
does anyone know what was actually standard on these? i've read the scans but there is not much about the interior,
did they all come with leather interiors, 6 stack cd players was the spare an alloy whell or a standard steel wheel, is it easy to buy replacement rebel badges...etc?
any help or idea where too look would be grateful.

G'Day au2000,

From the autospeed website.....

"Ford's Rebel XR8

Ford Australia – as opposed to its FTE division – released only one limited edition of the AU XR8.

The 2001 XR8 Rebel employs the same hand-built 220kW engine found in the late AUII XR8, 18 inch Speedline alloys, a Ford Racing body kit and – wait for it – a Sony PS2 for home use! A copy of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (signed by Glenn Seton and Steven Richards) was also thrown in on the deal."

Hope that helps,

99% sure leather was an option. What colour is it - Silhouette, Liquid Silver, Venom or Blueprint?

Cheers, Anthony
