its not worth going through insurance for that! so its been touched up with a colour matched touch up pressure pack and thankfully its a good match you cant really notice it..as ive carefully removed the xr6 badges and put them a little lower covering the repair.  |

try a diferent ford dealer for a better price and get them to post em to ya.
i do this all the time to my local ford dealer, parts are cheaper at the ford place 100km away than in my home town. when i get the parts cheaper elsewhere i go back to fords in my home town and show them what i got and for what price. after doing this a few times they are a bit more helpfull now |

Just drop into the wreckers every couple of weeks and always keep some fishing trace or guitar wire in your pocket... Cairns wreckers on Bunda Street had 3 EF XRs come in a week once. Nicco got some suspesion components and I got badges  You can get lucky like i did... But I don't have any spare ones now. |

I know... Mr Soul moved to Bris-vegas, Nicco is only up from the Ville during breaks from uni, Effalcon works over in Perth and isn't back for long and most of the other members aren't active.
The worse thing about QSS is they are mostly holden and import owners as well. Although they do organise regular meets so there is a good thing for them.
Your Fairlaine is pretty tidy to. I've seen it around a few times... |

The lights were only on there for a short time. I borrowed them from effalcon to see what they looked like on my car. But I never got around to buying a set.
I should be able to go to the Ingham car show this time now that I have a weekends off. I just have to check on dates to see if I'll actually be in Townsville for a friends b'day that weekend.
Oh and I forgot about Rob on here... lol
It took me a minute to recognise you the other week when you came up next to me on Anderson St. Goldfish I tell you... |

| I should definitely be free that weekend (23-25 May) to go to the show. I'll probably head down for saturday only unless we can organise a little cruise. |
