Looks great mate!
Love the rims, they look sweet.
Out of interest, how much did the knob and the scuff plates set you back?
I have been considering getting them when I go in for my 3000 km service.

I will murder the next person to say that about a WP.

NO suspension differences between the LX and Zetec in the WP range.


:


Another thing Photn - Are you sure the $130 for the gear knob is a trade price? If so, the dealer only made about $8 if my memory serves me right.

Haha that's what I said (above). I'm pretty sure I either paid $130 or $138 for my leather gear knob... And all I purchased was that. I hadn't even bought the car from that dealer...

Yeah as if it costs the dealer $122 for a bit of leather and plastic

the mark up on parts and accessories is huge!

Opz. Sorry dude. As above - I think I paid about $138 (or maybe it was $130) so if $138 is correct, Photn's dealer told him a false trade price. Surely they make more then $8

hey photn, doesn't the gear knob come with the 'chrome' trim ring for the lower surround too? I can't see it in your pics. I was thinking of getting one soon too...
