Same policy Ford had for the T series cars. l had to order a replacement side skirt sticker for our TS50 and had to supply our VIN before Ford would release it to the dealer.Of course, once Ford got caught with a lot of leftover bits the rules went out the window. Hence cars like the XR8 rebel with the TS wheels, and a LE XR6 with TE wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Flint is ADAMANT about keeping the GT series on a higher pedastil... I suppose only time will tell?I'm ordering a new bottom rear bar ( the one that removes to access the spare wheel).. & be interesting to see Fords requirements on "ID"?

I'll just use his VIN to get me some parts.Actually.... I could always mark the price up a little if anyone's interested in purchasing some spare parts :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R/H front caliper is priced at $1400 list, L/H front caliper is $440 list! R/H is available, L/H is on sales stop! I have purchased some AP Racing calipers for the front, still debating what to do......By the time I put ap racing all round the car, I could probably buy a new XT! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
