The BA rims look great on AU's, they really suit them so well, and on a lowered one like yours it really sets them off.
But get on the phone to FTG and get yourself some pods for the front bar, they'll cost you $120 or so, but trust me, you'll be glad you put 'em on.
A bloke that i know has an engine cover lying around so i'm going to see if we can get it to fit, just to clean up the engine bay. I would get the pods for the front bar but I don't reckon i'd make it up my own driveway if I did.

Now can someone confirm that this red is called Venom?

Yeap I think its Venom, Vixen was BA but knowing ford there might be a couple of AU3's with it.

Great pickup mate, must be wrapped.

So if Vixen didn't start until 2004, does that mean that Venom was used on BA's?

Splitting hairs I know, just wondering.

YAAAAY!! My 6 stack is fixed, and all for only $80. Previous owner managed to get a CD jammed in between the trays. Plus I get 4 free CD's that were stuck in there.

Congratulations on a great pickup. I bet the XR6 is a distant memory by now (no disrespect to XR6 owners).

I guess the next thing to do is re-spray it in Narooma Blue so it looks and goes better! :thebirds:
