Tickford ID plates

[888-Ford]

I have a blank Tickford ID plate i want to put on my auIII xr-8, but not sure where it goes, or how to word the different option on the ID plate, does anyone know how tickford worded the different option available for AUIII's

[RG]

What options does it have, and what happened to the original one lol

[BIGJB]

That was my 1st thought as well. ^^^^^
What happened to the original. I thought all XR'x came out with a Tickford plate.

[Busted]

They only had a tag if they had factoy options other than the std xr. ie momo wheel, 18'alloys, ecc ecc.

[dusty86]

mine has a different vin for some reason, so does another friends

[Whoosha]

Unless you have a computer metal print it wont look rite anyways, as they were all stamped that way ..

[888-Ford]

Dont know what happened to the original, I bought the car when it was 4 mths old in the condition it's in now, I'll try to decribe what option/extra's it has, Herods stainless exhaust system & extractors, "Unichip" microchip, premium sound, ungraded brakes, full body kit, red/black leather combination on gear knob & steering wheel, also dyno tuned and total respray 2 months ago.

I also have for sale exact replica rear mesh grills converted to suit the front bodykit grill of AUIII's

No, not at all....

[888-Ford]

No Actually I'm not that guy, like I said some guy on ebay is selling them, from queensland I think

[888-Ford]

I was "gone" to have some dinner, is that ok

[888-Ford]

I had my car resprayed 2 months ago and in the process decide to try to find the same sought of mesh that is in the rear grill on my AUIII, found it, but unfortunately I had to buy a square metre of it, so have a lot left over, it was'nt cheap to buy this stuff and I think it looks quite good on the car, sought of makes it more uniform, so thought I might as well try to flog off the remainder, did'nt actually come on here to sell stuff, but when I seen how many AUII & AUIII's owners there were on here, I thought they might like to know that it's available!!!! Sorry if I offended anyone!!!

It's fine, there are afew of us that are bitter and twisted but you'll get used to it.

Put a post up in the For Sale section for that mesh, just make sure you have a price and a pic.

Is that stuff stainless steel woven mesh? If so I am interested in the lot.

[888-Ford]

Dont know if anyone knows yet, but the AUII- AUIII tickford xr-8 engine cover have been made obsolete, I had one on back order for 8 mths and got a phone call from ford last week to let me know "no go" which bring me to my question, I found a new engine cover, only problem is it's for a TE-50, so no "220" badge (which I already have) and no XR-8 printed on the top, does anyone know where I can get that sought of printing done

Any good signwriter/sticker place can do that.

I used to know of one in Altona North but for the life of me I can't remember their name.

Yes I will take back my previous comment (but only because I checked you out :hihi: ).

[SSD-85]

All this reminds me of a an "XR8" i found with no Tickford plate and Fairmont Gauges. This vehicle didnt even have rivet holes where the Tickford plate shouldve been....Go figure.

Well for what it's worth you only got the plate if you had extra mods done by Tickford body kit,sunroof, Momo stuff ext. I brought mine new and it only has the Momo stuff on it as the body kit was fitted by the dealership :

and it helps if you know (new) some one on the inside as I got a extra plate with custom stamping on it

[888-Ford]

ahh well, looks like I'll endup using this as a keychain then!!!

[sikford]

does anyone know how all the different options are worded on the i.d plates?

[AlfaRomeoGTV6]

I just need to clarify things. My AUII (late 2001 update model) XR6 HP was delivered new to its first without any factory fitted options whatsoever. Therefore dead basic spec. Since I have owned it, I have fitted a few of the factory options.

I do not have a Tickford ID plate fitted to my car.

Is this because NO FACTORY FITTED TICKFORD OPTIONS were fitted to the car prior to its delivery to its very first owner ?

And one final thing;

Where in the engine bay is the Tickford ID plate fitted ?

It will only have an ID plate if options were fitted at the factory, models with no factory options dont have a plate.
The plate i located near the front RHS top shock mount
